      I love how my skin feels when I cleanse with this oil! It’s soft and more supple than when I use other cleansers.

      An oil cleanser?!

      An amazing combo, oil for moisture and a cleanser to get the yuck off. I am not one that likes dripping water on my face so to massage the oil into the skin to clean is perfect for me. It removes mascara very well without the greasy residue left behind. Just hope Counter will make a refill bottle!

      Lipid defence cleansing oul

      I always buy two, wouldn’t want to run out.

      I’ve been using this product for many years, nothing comes close to how my face feels after using it.

      It’s a must in my beauty routine.
