an nice luxurious cleaning oil and it’s hydrating too but a bit expensive
Helps alot
Helps remove my makeup very wellCompletely destroyed my skin
This broke my skin out completely like never before. I’m acne prone especially around my jawline. This broke me out all over my face. Small white heads everywhere!! Even with double cleansing. I don’t recommend this for acne prone skin.Decent oil cleanser
This one's pretty good, it does a good job of washing away dirt and oil without stripping moisture, I'm only giving it 4 stars because it's not the best I've tried, I like a different brand better. I would buy this one again on sale but its not my go toGreat
Great for dry, sensitive skin.Love medik8 - but not this product
I had previously tried to aesthetic RX cleansing oil and it was AMAZING!! And then all my other products were medik8 so I thought I’d try, and now I’m just using it to run the bottle out. It doesn’t feel like it cleanses my skin, and I barely notice a difference unlike with the aesthetic RX. Wouldn’t recommend unfortunately!fantastic
fantastic cleansing oil, i like cleansing oils better then other cleansers and this one is definitely a top one.Best cleansing oil
I love all medik8 products. This wash is great for double cleansing and smells amazing too. Hasn’t made me break out at all which I was concerned about when first contemplating purchasing oil cleansers. Must buyLeft my skin smooth
Love love love this goes on well left my skin feeling fresh and cleanlux
an nice luxurious cleaning oil and it’s hydrating too but a bit expensiveAll time favourite
This is the only cleansing oil I will use. Nothing else applies, emulsifies and washes off as well. It works well with my combination skin and makes my face feel so soft and clean. My complexion has cleared quite significantly since,Fantastic product
I love this product and have re-ordered four times now. I use this as my first cleanser each AM and PM. It does a great job of removing makeup, and washes off easily without leaving that oily feeling, which I often find with other cleansers.Reminiscent of an 80s floral perfume.
Got this as a gift with purchase. Appreciated the generosity, but this is way too floral for me. So much so that it could almost be sold as an essential oil. A disappointing offering for an otherwise brilliant brand.Good
Decent product but I feel other oil based cleansers do a better job. Didn’t reorderGreat oil cleanser
Leaves my skin feeling really soft and hydrated, while getting rid of makeup/sunscreen really effectively. It has a scent which is nice but might not suit people who are sensitive to that.Gentle
Gentle and effective as a first step in the cleansing routine.Great oil cleanser
A little goes a long way (even if it doesn’t feel like it), definitely a great first cleanse to get makeup/sunscreen off at night. Leaves me skin feeling nice and hydrated and not stripped like other foaming cleansers do.Love it!
Having an oily/combination skin type I was sceptical trying this when it was recommended to me… I could not love this product more, it doesn’t break my skin out or make it feel oily at all! Gives my skin such a radiant glow. Will definitely purchase again!This actually sucks.
Hate this. I like to have both a light cleanser and a hard core, remove my make up cleanser in my shower. This stated it removes stubborn makeup, "even waterproof".. it does not, it sucks.. I'm confused by the good reviews and the price tag. Medik8 have much nicer cleansers, this was 100% a fail for meI love it
Gently cleaning and nice aroma. Dissolves mascara and sunscreen very good.Gentle
Gentle and effective.Best
It cleans my skin and takes off makeup thoroughly without stripping and drying my skin. If required I double cleanse with the Medik8 Oil and Medik8 Gentle cleanser but usually only require the cleansing oil. I have very sensitive and reactive skin and find I can use this product regularly and it retains my skin's acid mantle and pH.Luxury in a bottle
Wow! This is a beautiful face oil for a first cleanse. Medik8 can do no wrong, as everything that I have tried has been outstanding. But this oil is great as it doesn't stink my eyes. But it also leaves my fave feeling nourished without having the heavy residue feeling other oils haveIs it time for me to cleanse yet?
I actually look forward to using this cleanser at the end of the day. It is incredibly effective at removing makeup, sunscreen, and product build up (single cleanse only) and does not strip or dry the skin (i have sensitive skin). It is also the ultimate sensory experience in that it is velvety to touch, glides on beautifully and has a pleasant and natural soothing scent. I have just opened my sec...Read MoreGreat for Dehydrated skin
I love this cleanser, it is non drying and leaves my skin bright and hydrated.Good Product
This is a great product for a 2 step cleansing routine, it removes all makeup and doesn't leave the skin feeling oily or congested. I use this and the Medik8 Micellar Mousse when removing makeup. Just don't use it by itself, it is made to be used in a 2 step routine (my beauty therapist told me after I was using it by itself - whoops). Smells good, and relatively inexpensive, recommend!Amazing
This was a fantastic cleanser! Smells amazing - doesn't leave any oily feeling on skin and was super gentle. Removed all makeup as well without leaving a tight feeling!Melts away makeup!
Does what it says. I use this as the first step in my double cleanse. I work it into the my skin with clean hands, and wipe it off with a warm flannel! It takes off layers of makeup and mascara easily (although I don't use waterproof). I wash my flannels after each use so they don't build up bacteria, and that "hot towel" on the face really feels like a spa experience :) I have noticed my skin fee...Read MoreGo to oil cleanser.
I am in love with this product. My skin has looked incredible since I have incorporated it into my skin care routine. I was using an oil cleansing balm to remove my makeup before using a gentle foaming cleanser, and they would always sting my eyes and a small amount wouldn't do much, I would have to use a lot. That is not the case with this cleanser. A small amount goes a long way, there is zero...Read Moreloveee
this cleansing oil is amazing. it does not rip off the natural oils on the face!Great for Sensitive skin
I've used this everyday for the past 6 months as part of my double cleanse routine. It does remove make-up well (extra work needed for waterproof mascara) and leaves your skin feeling very moisturised. It is also the only oil product that hasn't irritated my sensitive, ezcema prone skin. This has to be my favourite Medik8 product and would highly recommend. Feels luxurious!Absolutely beautiful
Surprised me how good this is for my oily skinNot suitable for my sensitive skin
I have sensitive skin and this cleanser gave me a rash around my lips and eyes after using it. I loved how it felt on my skin and I loved the smell. A bit sad I couldn't use it.Great Oil Cleanser
I have combination skin with acne and I find this oil cleanser to be so nice and nourishing for my skin. I use this oil cleanser along with with the ASAP gentle cleansing gel and I have seen a big change in my skin and it doesn't feel stripped but still feels clean.The perfect first cleanse!
I love this product as a first cleanse. It is very nourishing and does not aggravate my dry and sometimes sensitive skin. It removes sunscreen and make up easily, I like the packaging and the scent doesn't bother me even though I usually prefer unscented products. I think considering the amount of product required, it's actually not bad value for money. Will continue to be my go to oil cleanser...Read MoreBeautiful gentle cleanser
Love this gorgeous cleansing oil, I can use it even when my skin is freaking out and it feels so luxurious and nourishingPerfect
I love how efficiently it can remove heavy sunscreen without double cleansing or with excessive rubbing. I have oily, sensitive skin and it doesn't leave my skin shiny and greasy, it feels hydrated and clean after use. Also love the really subtle fragrance.Good
This is a good first step cleanserperf!
cleanses so well in the first use! I use it as a pre-cleansing oil love it!Great makeup remover!
I've tried a few oil cleansers and this is my favourite. Leaves skin feeling soft afterwards and takes all makeup off. Will definitely be re-purchasing.Best oil cleanser I've ever used...
I was anxious about trying the oil cleansing method due to having oily skin. Many other cleansers had been disappointing. I purchased this to give it a go as it was recommended by a skin therapist after having a laser treatment done. I was told my skin needs a very gentle cleanser afterwards as my skin would be extremely dry and flaky. This was perfect for the dry patch that needed to slough off o...Read MoreI am obsessed!
After reading that I should be using an oil cleanser as the first step in my evening skincare routine, I purchased the Medik8 Cleansing Oil, and from the very first use, I was blown away! I was skeptical, as I have oily acne-prone skin and was concerned it would make my skin worse, but my skin has never felt so smooth and hydrated after a cleanse. It removes sunscreen and makeup with ease. I will ...Read MoreAMAZING
I'm on my second bottle of this stuff, it is simply amazing! I have patchy dry skin and this leaves your skin feeling moisturised and soft!Nourishing and light
I have a combination skin type and this cleanser is great for morning use, and at night to remove make up.Amazing cleanser
I use this product for my first cleanse to remove makeup, and its so great and hydratingFeeling Fine!
Such a beautiful way to remove makeup at the end of the day, this oil smells beautiful, I just want to rub it all over me!Favourite oil cleanser
Love this cleanser! Easy to massage in to the skin, has a pleasant, subtle scent, and turns milky when you add water. Removes makeup and is a great 1st cleanse in the evening!Easy Peasy
Easy way to remove makeup at the end of the day and has a pleasant smell.good
i love this cleansing oil. really helps to remove my makeup at the end of the dayAmazing
Such a great cleanser for removing any makeup as well as removing the day from your face. Leaves your skin feeling really moisturised as wellAmazing cleanser oil!
This was my first time using a cleanser oil and this product did not fault me! It's very simple to use & mess free! Takes off all my makeup well (including waterproof mascara!!!) I generally would follow-up with another cleanser after I use this to remove my makeup. My skins feels hydrated after using it!Love it!
I use this cleanser before bed (and a glycolic cleanser in the morning) and i love the way it makes my skin feel! It goes on as an oil, then you add warm water and it emulsifies. I like to remove it with a warm moist cotton pad to make sure it’s all been removed. It leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed, and not tight at all. It’s a perfect gentle cleanser to use before applying serums contain...Read MoreLove love love
This is a great product, has worked wonders on my combination skin. Would recommend.So good!
You only need one pump and wah-lah! Doesn’t strip the skin, doesn’t sting your eyes, doesn’t break you out - worth the price!My favourite cleanser
This has become my favourite cleanser. I have dry sensitive skin and this feels amazing. Removes my makeup well and feels so nice while doing so. My face is never dry or sensitive afterwards.Really recommend this product if you have sensitive skin and remember to remove with cleanser after using one pump and massage the face
Really recommend this product if you have sensitive skin and remember to remove with cleanser after using one pump and massage the face, you will see instant result how this remove all the make up on the face!great
a really great cleansing oil, leaves me with such nice soft and clean skinGood choice
I am on my second bottle of this cleanser. It feels lovely on my face, silky and gives a nice massage. My second bottle however was a bit strange the start, thicker and then reacted strangely when I added water. Seemed to only happen the first two times, so hopefully resolved.love it :)
a great cleansing oil for my dry, acne and dermatitis prone skin. I prefer this to the dermalogica pre cleanse as I believe that one may have been causing extra breakouts for me. I havent found that with this product, so I would say its a good cleansing oil for acne prone skinSurprisingly good!
I never an oil cleanser because my skin is oily, but this worked wonders. My skin is so clean and fresh!Beautiful
This product was recommended to me by a Product Specialist in a live web chat. I have oily, sensitive, and acne prone skin. I found this oil cleanser very fun to use. I followed the instructions on the bottle and applied about a pump and a half (ish) onto my dry face. This was my first time using an oil cleanser so it was a foreign feeling. On a dry face it feels very strange and of course, o...Read MoreNovice oil cleanser user
This is my first oil cleanser purchase. I've been using it for a few weeks and it is okay so far - non-irritating, goes on easily and emulsifies with water, but does smell a bit odd. I'm not sure if it is working as a cleanser though. I use it as a pre-cleanser at night time and I think it does get rid of some of the surface gunk. I just don't have anything to compare it against, so might try anot...Read MoreBalance cleansing oil
This is great for a pre cleanse! smells really nice!Love it
I've learned that you should have a 2 step cleansing routine and the first step needs to be a cleansing oil or balm, this was my first experience with a cleansing oil and it was great. It really helped take off my makeup and get my skin ready for my 2nd cleanse.Hydrating cleanser!
I do like this cleanser for how hydrated it makes me feel. Do I like it as a makeup remover? No. I dont find it works that well at removing my makeup despite being in the minority in this regard about this product. It is a lovely cleanser for the morning and definitely makes my skin feel supple. I recommend it as a nice oil cleanser but not as a precleanse makeup remover.Love Love Love
By far my favourite cleanser. Removes all my make up without needing to double cleanse, leaves my skin feeling really hydrated and not dry or tight. The perfect oil cleanser!L.O.V.E
Love it!
This is my favourite oil cleanser. I've attempted to buy others at a cheaper price point, but will always return to this Medik8 oil cleanser. It leaves my skin unbelievably soft and feeling nourished. 10/10.Beautiful cleansing oil
This is a beautiful cleaning oil that turns milky with water. It removes all traces of makeup and spf without leaving any oily residue. I use this in the evening as a first cleanse before going in with a glycolic cleanser.Wow
I have tried a lot of oil cleansers, oil-balm cleansers and oil-gel cleansers. I bought this because it was on sale and I couldn't buy the one I usually use. I wasn't expecting much but I was shocked at how great this is.
There are 2 main things I look for in a first cleanser. It needs to be good at removing makeup and it should not leave an oily residue - most oil-based cleansers do...Read MoreBeautiful cleansing oil
Works really well, removes EVERYTHING and is a great massage oil too that’s easy to remove. The scent is strangely strong but it’s not the worst but I hope they come out with a fragrance free because it does irritate me slightlyStep one in double-cleanse (hot cloth)- perfect!
Sits perfectly at the start of my new face care routine. Can be done in the shower, or hot cloth. Great texture for gua sha or roller or facial massage with fingers (for lymphatic drainage) before rinsing off. Pleasant fragrance, not strong or chemical.Must Have Cleanser!
I was hesitant to buy an oil cleanser as my skin is sensitive. I was completely impressed by this product, it didn’t dry out my skin or cause breakouts. I love how it turns milky with warm water. This is defiantly staying in my skincare routine.A Genuine Must Have!
I bought this on a whim, because i had finished my dermalogica pre-cleanse and grew to really love oil cleansing solutions. Without a doubt, this is a cleanse everyone should have or should try!! Leaves skin so supple and cleansed of course, does not strip natural oils but does not leave skin extremely oily. Really does remove eye makeup without irritating the eyes - when done correctly. Also the ...Read MoreGreat product
Great for removing makeup! Makes skin super soft. Lovely as a precleanser to ensure skin is very cleanBest oil cleanser I have used!
I have pretty high expectations for my oil cleansers and this met all of them. You only need one pump to remove all of your makeup and it’s the perfect first cleanse. It doesn’t strip my face of its natural oils and leaves the face feeling moisturised. It’s now a permanent resident in my skin care collection!different but great
this is the first time I have tried an oil cleanser and so far so good. my skin doesn't like a lot of cleansers, they have a tendency to disrupt my natural oil balance - they make my t-zone over produce oil and break out while the rest of my face gets drier. this cleanser works well! its not too harsh but still removes my make up and dirt.Morning and night
I adore this oil cleanser. I use it every morning and night. It's got a lovely delicate smell, and it also works well as a slip oil when doing gua sha. I think it's a great price for such a high quality product and well known brand. I normally use the cosmedix cleansing oil but I think this is more bang for your buck, and will change to this from now on.The nicest I’ve found
I’m not completely loving oil cleansers but this one is the most tolerable that I’ve found. I wouldn’t purchase again though, not because it’s a bad product but just because it’s not my thingLove using this everyday
I love using this product at the end of each day to remove my spf and makeup. You don’t need to use much product and my skin feels soft after using it. I do follow up with another cleanser after this one to get an extra cleanse but would 100% recommend using this!The first cleanse every oily skinned person needs
I'm an oily skinned gal that took some time coming around to the idea of an oil cleanser, but I'm really glad that I did. On and off over the past few months I've been experiencing annoying congestion and clusters of red pimples in places I have never typically gotten them (namely my cheeks). I knew they weren't hormonal and I suspected that my cleanser wasn't quite doing the job of removing the ...Read MoreThe best way to end the day!
I love Medik8 and gradually building up my collection. I had read good reviews of this and it does not disappoint! The fragrance is beautiful and smells like day spa products. You only need one pump and it takes off ALL makeup from the day. I have always used a cream cleanser (various brands) and an old fashioned face washer but this does it all in one go. When I do my toner after, no traces of ma...Read MoreSo impressed!!
I was a little bit worried about trying this cleanser as it’s an oil cleanser but now after trying it I regret not trying it sooner. It’s made my skincare routine so much more luxurious and I absolutely love how my skin feels afterwards, no tightness at all which is so rare for me as I have dry skin. I also love how the oil concistency changes to milky when you add warm water so it doesn’t feel gr...Read Moreincredible
This is definitely slightly more expensive, but worth it for the great quality! I feel like I have new skin!
Can't speak more highly!
This product absolutely changed how I cleanse and remove my makeup! I have super dry skin and find it to be cleansing without drying out my skin. A small pump massaged straight on to my face works with makeup to remove and cleanse. Then I emulsify with with water and remove before using a second low pH cleanser. I genuinely look forward to using this each night - worth the money!Allergic
It removed my makeup well but I think I’m allergic to something in it my eyes were itchy, red and swollen after use. This isn’t really the products fault though I guess a caution to future buyers.Grea gentle cleansing oil
I have started using this after using jojoba oil to cleanse for years. My skin was breaking out more than usual and I needed to change things up. To be honest I changed a few things one at a time, and have really loved introducing this cleanser. It feels light even though it is an oil, works up a very slight lather, smells lovely and leaves my skin feeling very soft and clean. It has not broken me...Read MoreGreat product to take makeup off
I use this every night to first cleanse my makeup off as I love the oil consistency, it removes all my makeup and then I go in with a second cleanser. You only need one pump and it goes a long way. It also has a beautiful smell and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry either!Great cleanser
I look forward to using this after work, washing away makeup and oil and feeling clean and hydrated! I have normal to oily skin and find this to remove excess oil but not strip away any moisture, leaving my skin feeling soft and clear. I have cosmetic tattoos and haven't had any issues with this product accelerating fading.Super gentle!
I love how gentle and silky it feels and how it turns into a milky consistency once you add a little water, removes all the traces off makeup and it doesn’t dry out your skin, only down side is that is only 140ml.Daily cleanser
Easy and effective. This oil cleanser is amazing and changed the way my skin looks and feels in such a short time frame! My go-to and cannot live without.Effective oil cleanser
I have acne prone and sensitive skin and this cleanser didn’t irritate my skin. I use it in the morning with a glycolic cleanser in the evening. So far so good. Definitely recommend for sensitive skin.Gentle on skin
I found this oil very gentle on my sensitive skin and it helped in settling hormonal acne. However, it is expensive in comparison to other available cleansing oils.Gentle and effective
I love this cleansing oil - really gentle, very effective at removing makeup and doesn’t strip the moisture out of your skin. I cleanse evening only and use it to remove makeup - first massaging onto my face with dry hands and skin then washing it off in the shower.HG Oil Cleanser
This product is LIFE! I researched so many oil cleansers and finally settled on this one. It was my most anticipated purchase from Adore Beauty to date....and it did not disappoint. I have sensitised skin, which tends to get red and irritated quite easily. After cleansing, my skin was soft, calm and clean without irritation or that squeaky clean tight feeling.

I've tried countless cleansing oils (from moderately priced to eye-wateringly expensive - we're talking $70+ for 50ml kinda expensive...) and this is hands-down my favourite. I get red, bumpy reactive skin around my eye-area and after about 2 weeks of using this the reaction reduced considerably. The oil is light in texture and washes away easily with warm water - leaving my skin feeling soft, hyd...Read MoreSo glad I bought this!
I had been wanting to try a cleansing oil for a long time and saw the great reviews so decided to give this a go! Was not disappointed... love how its gentle on my sensitive dry combination skin. Just dont get too close to your hairline or you'll a get a bit of oil in your hair.. but that's just nitpicking. You definitely get what you pay for! :)I adore this product and look forward to using every evening
OMG , do yourself a favour this is fabulous. Firstly it smells divine. Secondly it works a treat. I only use at night, 2-3 squirts in my hand, slowly massage all over my face which makes me look like a panda with my mascara, and then use a beautiful hot flannel which I first place all over my face which intensifies the scent and then gently use that to get rid of my makeup day, rinse the flannel a...Read MoreCleansing Oil
Medik8 products! you cant go wrong! this cleansing oil is light and lathers up in the shower! great for removing excess makeup and dirt!One of the best
Having tried countless cleansing oils, I can genuinely say this is one of the most effective and enjoyable I've ever used - in terms of consistency, packaging, effective make-up removal, scent, suitability for sensitive skin, no greasy residue etc.
Would definitely recommend.Worth the money. Beautiful feel and smell
This oil works amazing at removing all types of makeup in one go. A little goes a long way and does not dry your skin out . My new favourite cleansing oil on the market.
