Hi there! Thank you for your review! Just to clarify, there is no oil in the Gentle Touch Makeup Remover, rather it's base is a blend of silicone and water for extra-gentle interaction with skin. This duo, paired with the antioxidants and anti-irritants makes for the soothing result.

Customer Service Response
Replied on: Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Thank you for your review! Your experience is unique, and we're not sure how to explain it as there are no ingredients in the Gentle Touch Makeup Remover which are capable of producing any pigment, or chalky residue. In any event, please contact our Customer Care for help with a credit or exchange as we don't want you to feel "stuck" with a product that doesn't work as you had hoped!

Does it matter if I use Gentle Touch Makeup Remover before or after cleansing?
This really depends on personal preference. Using the remover prior to cleansing allows you to gently loosen eye makeup, mascara, and/or foundation prior to cleansing, and allows the remover to be rinsed off with the cleanser. Using the remover afterwards allows you to see where makeup may have "stuck" or where you may have missed with your cleanser. If you opt to use Gentle Touch Makeup Remover after cleansing, it is best to rinse with water to make sure all the product and makeup are gone.
