      So glad it’s back.

      I am amazed with the results of using a cleansing oil on my oily, but aging skin. I’m now a believer! I was almost out of product, and was not happy at the thought of using anything else on my face. Soooo happy now.

      Unbelievable!

      I have used so many cleansing products over the last 50 years and nothing compares to this one. It is gentle and yet, very effective. I highly recommend it.

      Best Cleanser out there

      I have used a multitude of cleansers over the years, and by far, this is my favorite. Not only does it thoroughly clean my face, including mascara!, it does so without drying it out. I highly recommend.
