Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil

This cleansing oil has changed my life. I used to be so dependent on cleansing wipes to do all my dirty work and have wasted so much time scrubbing, pulling, rubbing, and wiping my makeup and mascara away! And I can't even count how many wipes I've gone through and how much money I've wasted since the cheap ones just never get the job done.

Anyway I started using this oil after reading about it online. I suddenly realized I was living in the country where this stuff is made! I didn't have to worry about a long trip to the Asian grocery store or a battle on eBay to try it out.

I bought one bottle and was skeptical at first. I'd never put oil on my face to clean anything off and though I'd just end up with an un-washable mess. I used it on one of my black smokey eye days using a MAC greasepaint stick. Probably the most difficult makeup to get off your face. I used two pumps and gently massaged it into my eye area and spread it around my face using circular motions and then rinsed it right off with water. And what do you know? The oil just dissolved right off along with the makeup. It was so easy, I couldn't believe it.

After my face didn't feel tight or dry like it normally does after a cleansing, but it stayed pretty moisturized.

I have been using this oil for about 6 months and have suddenly noticed a difference in my skin. My pores have gotten a little smaller and I get less gunk in the pores around my nose. You do have to be careful though to do a thorough job or you won't get all the makeup off. It might even take two tries with black makeup but I haven't gone back to wipes yet!

My only complaint is I can't find this in travel size so I have to fill my own travel bottle which can be messy. But this is so worth it! And very inexpensive!
