They say that you really don't know the true value of [most things] in life until you no longer have them...this is one of those items for me!! A full bottle of this cleansing oil lasted me about a little over 7 months. For reference, I have super oily (oily on the outside but dry on the inside) skin and very sensitive and acne-prone. Although this particular brand does contain mineral oil, I didn't have any reactions to it, since I was able to lightly rub the oil onto my entire face and gently take off all of my make-up at once! It emulsifies into a milky wish liquid upon contact with water. I recommend only using 1-3 pumps and gently sweeping in wiper-blade motions, not rubbing too hard on your skin. Since this is oil, it miraculously lifts and pulls on the dirt and debris trapped inside my (huge) pores and made my blackheads nearly invisible for most of the time after cleansing. This is an amazing pore-shrinker, my friends have been curious as to what new facial I've been getting because I can go outside without makeup on, but I just tell them it's this cleansing oilI ran out about 3 weeks ago and now my pores are HUGE again. There are so many blackheads and bumps on my face that I cannot get rid of no matter how much I use my other (foaming) cleanser. I need to keep re-ordering this!! I've been breaking out more than usual lately and I attribute it to not using (this).
