I am amazed by this product's effectivity when it comes to removing heavy make up especially waterproof eyeliners and mascaras. It's best for us with sensitive skin since I did not have any break outs. It's pretty expensive but I think buying the full size is worth it. I'm a fan!

The effects of the cleansing oil is noticeable after a week's use. Supple and soft skin and my pores seem to be smaller. The texture, however, needs getting used to. Probably because I'm so used to pouring oil into cotton before using it so massaging the product directly on my skin is a bit unfamiliar. It doesn't feel as "oily" as I expected though.

I must say that with all the hype following Shu Uemura cleansing oils, I was kinda disappointed with my first try. When I purchased this, I didn't realize it was like a facial cleanser/cleansing cream, I only searched how to apply and saw that. It works great as a makeup remover, but I didn't like the after feel after rinsing it. It feels like a cleansing cream, or even silkier than that. That's my problem though, I prefer facial washes.

I've always had problems erasing my make-up especially the waterproof ones but not when i used this product. I followed the instruction on how to use this product and was shocked that it totally worked. When i washed with a facial cleanser, all the make-up was removed. And a little of this goes a long way. One sachet is enough for two or even three uses. It took me three days to empty one sachet.
The only downside is I looked so oily afterwards but that's the reason why we should wash our face after applying the oil. It's not too sticky though but it smells like oil. It's a cleansing oil so the smell was kinda expected.
And another good thing, I didn't have to put on moisturizer afterwards. My skin felt soft and smooth. I love the sample that I got. However, I'm still considering if I'll buy it or not. It's really helpful in erasing make-up so if you will really use make-up everyday this is a good product for you.

As a person with very dry skin, any product that can clean and moisturize my face at the same time is a heaven-sent. This is why a good cleansing oil is something I cannot do without. It lets me skip the time-consuming make-up remover+facial wash+moisturizer routine, but still leaves my face free from grime and make-up. Imagine my excitement when I had the chance to try a variant of the king of all cleansing oils! Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O Advanced Formula is instant love. It has a nice herbal or leafy scent similar to some aromatherapy products. Its consistency is more watery than other cleansing oils making it easy to massage on and rinse off the face. I find it a little drying on my skin, but since it leaves a non-greasy feeling, I expect that those with oily skin will appreciate this variant. As a make-up remover, nothing can stand in the way of this cleansing oil. In one go, it knocks out all types of make-up including the most stubborn long-wearing, water-proof ones. On the downside, after I used it twice a day for three consecutive days, I noticed small bumps on my cheeks and chin. I suspect the cause to be either the fragrance or the mineral oil, which is one of the main ingredients.

All in all, the Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil is an excellent make-up remover, the best among those I have tried. It removes all dirt and make-up in less than a minute. Those who are sensitive to mineral oil or fragrance may need a separate product to wash away the oil after make-up removal, but everyone else will definitely like this as a standalone cleanser.

Shared the samples to my mom and sister, tried it too just to know how it feels on my skin. it smells great and easy to use just like the normal facial cleansers. After wash my skin was so smooth and soft, no traces of oil, and skin felt light too! Even my mom and sister liked it.

been wanting to try out Shu Uemura but was a bit apprehensive because of the price, but after trying out the sample, im now convinced that it is worth your hard-earned money, it smelled nice & with only using 1/2 of a sachet, it can erase all your stubborn make-up, waterproof mascara included.

i was hoping i wouldn't like this product but i did! i soo love it! now i know why its the holy grail cleansing oil of most beauty junkies. it removed my makeup effectively and my face feels incredibly clean. there's just 2 things i didnt like about it: the smell and packaging of the sampler, i wish it has a tiny bit of scent and that it was packed on a bottle. these doesn't change the fact that i will definitely get myself this product.

My skin felt supple and smooth after using the cleanser no tightness even itchiness. I have a very sensitive and oily skin which is prone to acne and I've been using a mild liquid cleanser prescribed by my dermatologist.Although my old cleanser is mild, it gives a dry and tight feel on my face. But when I tried Shu Uemura's cleansing oil, I immediately can tell the difference it made on my skin. No greasy feeling. I just wish that they have a smaller size because its kinda expensive.

I got this for nearly a week now and I haven't even finished all of the seven sachets! This product is really economical and a little of this goes a long way. It took me two and a half (because there's still some left, but not enough to remove my entire makeup) days to empty one sachet and I'm only on my second sachet and it's been almost a week now. I finally know why a lot of beauty bloggers love this cleansing oil. It can totally get rid of all stubborn, waterproof makeup with minimal effort, leaving no makeup residues after washing. You may look like a huge greaseball upon application, but that's precisely the reason why you need to wash your face afterwards. Not totally a fan of the smell, but I do get it, since most of the beauty oils/oils I've smelled are kinda similar to this scent (for some reason, IDK why).

I wear full make up everyday and this product has been the best cleanser i've ever tried. It cleans thoroughly, wipes away my eyeliner and mascara in one wash. i used to wash my face twice and go for another one on my eye area with my old facial cleanser but with this one I never had to do it twice. It gives me a soft feel on my face after washing. I first tried this a week before i have my period so i had break outs the following day.so i stopped. Then after my monthly period i tried using it again and im glad no break outs for me the next day. I got 7 sachets and i still have a few sachets left because a drop or two of this cleansing oil goes a long way.

I like the idea behind a cleansing oil that has skin nourishing benefits so when Sample Room restocked this range, with new variants, I was happy to be able to try. Especially since there's an exclusive promo for members. I liked how this product melts away my concealer and foundation, not so much with how it is around the eye area because it stung me quite painfully compared to other oils. I'm only hesitant about that, but since it's so thorough in aiding over-all makeup, I'm still inclined to purchase and recommend this cleansing oil.

Oh wow. I've never been a person who uses cleansing oil because really? You're going to use oil to clean your face? It turns out that there's a logic to the idea. I love how my make-up is easily removed when I use this. I don't even have to use moisturizer afterwards because the formula leaves a thin film on my face to retain moisture. I haven't had a breakout since I've starting using this so, yay! Will definitely buy!

I did not know what cleansing oil was for, but I just followed the instructions at the back. My face felt clean after using it, but I did not like the smell which reminded me of herbs. I shared my sample with my sister, and she happily tried it as well. She said that it was an excellent cleansing oil and she liked the herby smell more than I did.

My everyday makeup includes bb cream, powder, cream blush, waterproof eyeliner and eyebrows. I have a regular cleansing oil that I use, but, Shu is better. I have been using this for 3 days and I love how the cleansing oil can remove my waterproof eyeliner. It also leaves my skin extra conditioned.

For me, one sachet can be used for 3 washes. I only need a few drops to cover my whole face. I am not a fan of the minty smell though.

How I use the cleansing oil:
[1] Pat the oil onto my dry skin and let it sit for 2-3 minutes
[2] Wash my face with water to rinse off the oil
[3] Use my regular facial wash

Others might say that step 3 can be skipped but for me I still feel cleaner if I use my regular facial wash, then tone and moisturize.

Before I used shu uemura cleansing oil, the yellow one. This is my first time to use the green one. Before getting the sample, I read a lot of good things about this so i've been stalking sample room to get my hands on this product! Yes, oil is not my thing but once you apply it on your face, it's not really oil- oil, it glides easily on your skin, giving you the refreshed feeling plus it turns milky white once applied with water. This is not only a facial wash but also cater for what your skin needs. Love it & will purchase once again!

Well for 5 days of using the Shu Uemura cleansing oil my skin feels softer and cleaner and it prevents the start of pimples. I also love it's nature "ish" scent that gives you relaxing feeling while cleaning your face. The only problem with this product is it's a bit messy to put on the oil it easily drips through my hands.

I've been curious to try Shu Uemura's cleansing oils because it's really such an iconic product. But the high prices have put me off since I didn't want to spend so much on something I haven't tried. I was so thrilled to score some samples from here and was generally quite pleased with this product. It's not too sticky and has a very mild fresh fragrance. It removed my makeup effortlessly, including all traces of mascara! My face wasn't greasy or dry afterwards. Overall a great product!

I am hesitant to use it as a cleanser and make-up remover on my face but after using this product, it really works. It effectively removes any traces of make-up on my face, leaving my skin soft and clean. My face brightens and my wrinkle lines lessen.

I was actually apprehensive at first because it was an oil-based product and I had oily skin. The smell is quite tolerable since I was more into the effectiveness of the product. It was quite surprising that it wasn't too oily at all! Plus it's quite mild so it can be freely used around the eye area. Great product!
