      Easy night time regimen

      I use the cleansing oil daily to freshen my skin after the day with or without makeup. Two squirts of the oil give me enough to massage into my skin for a mini massage . A warm soft wash cloth is my preference for removal of the oil leaving my skin soft and clean. The oil cleanser is gentle on my sensitive skin prone to rosacea.

      Best cleanser ever!

      I am so thankful for your return because I was in a panic! I have tried other cleaners since I could not get yours any longer and NOTHING, NOTHING was close to your cleanser! There is nothing out there that comes close to the cleansing power, the fragrance or the way my skin feels so hydrated after use. Please don’t go away again!

      Oh How I’ve Missed You

      How Thomas is my favorite facial cleanser. It works so well. It’s so gentle. And it takes off everything including my eye makeup. I’m so glad it’s back. There is no other facial cleanser that can compete with Counters Cleansing Oil.
