La Roche-PosayLipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil, Gentle Oil Cleanser for Face and Body Formulated with Niacinamide, Long-Lasting 24-hour Hydration, Fragrance-Free & Soap Free

I've tried many oil cleansers and this is the one I'll stick with. I have seasonal combination dry skin (dry all over in the winter, normal with dry T-zone in spring and summer). I've used Bioderma shower oil (the huge bottle, not the biosensi one which I heard was a good one but haven't tried it), Purito oil cleanser, manyo original oil cleanser, all types of Banila Co cleansing balms, Anua oil cleanser, and in the past 2 weeks, this La Roche Posay (LRP) oil cleanser. It's the only cleanser that neither dries out my skin nor breaks me out.Here's a crash course on oil cleansers: there are oil based oil cleansers and there are water-based oil cleansers. Sounds confusing, I know. When you read the ingredient list, if the first ingredient is water, it is a water-based oil cleanser, otherwise, it's an oil-based oil cleanser. Both types work by dissolving the grime and makeup on your face with an oil or lipid, then emulsifying that gross oil with water to make it rinse off clean and not leave your face greasy. The oil-based oil cleansers have to be applied on dry face with dry hands, then emulsified by adding a bit of water, then rinsed off. The water-based oil cleansers can be applied on wet face since they contain water already, and they tend to foam up (emulsify) very easily.Among the cleansers I've used, manyo, Purito, Banila Co, and Anua were oil-based oil cleansers. They are excellent at removing makeup and exfoliating dead skin. They tend to break me out though, despite me emulsifying them very thoroughly and double cleanse with a facial soap afterwards. Bioderma and LRP are water based and they don't exfoliate so well, but they also don't break me out. They do a decent job at cleansing my face. I don't wear makeup except lipstick and they can take care of that easily. I do wear sunscreen, but that's not something I can be sure whether they can remove completely or not. Bioderma is cheap but leaves my skin a bit dry. LRP is cheap, just not as cheap as Bioderma, and does not dry out my skin at all.TL:DR: If you have very dry skin that's not prone to breakout, and/or you wear heavy makeup, and/or you want an excellent exfoliator, use an oil-based oil cleanser (manyo, Anua, Banila Co...) Make sure you start with dry face, dry hands, massage thoroughly before adding a bit of water to emulsify, then then rinse off. Your face should not feel oily afterwards, but if it does, try double cleanse with a foaming cleanser afterwards.If you have dry-ish skin that's prone to breakouts, try a water-based oil cleanser (LRP, Bioderma, Cerave...). With these you can actually double cleanse with the same cleanser, in case it doesn't take all of your makeup off in one go.

I typically use the double cleansing method. I use coconut oil to melt off my makeup (specifically eye liner) and then a face wash. I read reviews about this one and decided to give it a try! This takes away the need for coconut oil, it literally takes all makeup and dirt right off! Also it doesn’t dry up my skin. Works so well!

Me encanta! Lo uso para lavar mi cara, es muy suave y deja la piel hidratada. Excelente para pieles sensibles.

A quality product at a reasonable price. I would probably purchase this again.

This is a good product. For reference- I have combination/acneic skin. It doesn't feel overly oily and you don't have to use a whole bunch. It breaks up even water resistant sunscreen pretty well and I followed it with a gentle cleanser. The only reason why I put 4 stars is because it does burn the eyes. For someone like me, I want to get all of the sunscreen and eye makeup off of my eye area and this isn't the most gentle for that.

Remove makeup and lashes very well. Last a long time.

Me siento satisfecha con este producto , la verdad me deja la piel limpia , no tiene olor y no reseca la piel . Realmente me ha encantado este limpiador .

I was looking for "makeup remover" when this popped up as a sponsored product - which means that it has these particular SEO keywords. After seeing that a few people in the reviews have said that it does remove makeup and sunscreen, I decided to give it a try. And I really wanted to love it - I truly mean it. Unfortunately, it does not fully remove makeup and/or sunscreen, even after using it TWO times PLUS an additional wash with foam cleanser. I usually do a dual wash with makeup removing oil + face wash, but with this product, not everything comes off clean even with 3 washes. On days I wear no makeup or sunscreen, it works just fine.
