Oil-based cleansing is very effective for my skin. This has to be my favorite oil cleanser. It is silky smooth and gentle on my acne-probe skin. It quickly removes makeup and rinses clean, leaving soft, clean, glowing skin. I love that it gets slightly milky when used with water. It is also July st as effective on dry skin. When used this way, I wipe it off with a warm washcloth.

This product is a terrific addition for those who shave. It cleanses very well, and if left on the beard area it facilitates a close, non-irritating shave. Simply message into your wet face-don't rinse-and apply your favorite shave product on top (I use PC 4 Men shave cream); then shave as usual. You'll find your razor glides effortlessly over the stubble. When done, rinse your face as normal. You will find your skin is clean, smooth, and irritation free. This method is especially useful if your face somewhat irritated due to over-use of exfoliates, treatments, or weather, yet you still need to shave. For those who have a light beard this may be the only shave product you need.

I'm 39 & unlike many of the women that I know (who are around my age) I haven't had much trouble (as yet) with wrinkles or dry skin. Up till a few years ago I still had the skin of my adolescence (breakouts, oiliness, etc). I'm terribly fair and have watched for sun exposure so I guess my skin is in pretty good shape. In the last few years I began to see some dryness. So, on a whim, I decided to try Paula's Oil Cleanser out, thinking if I didn't like it I'd pass it on to my mother. Well, I should not have worried. It's amazingly gentle, removes makeup like a dream, and washes away fairly cleanly leaving your skin softly moisturized. I love it! I'm so glad I took a chance!

I've already written a review and gave this 5 Stars as a morning cleanser. But I wanted to add a new discovery that might help,other women. I had my arms waxed and as usual, asked the cerologist not to apply oil or alcohol afterwards since I usually have a bad reaction. My arms were therefore 100% tacky from the waxing and in places had small bits of wax. I used Paula's toner when I came home which didn't do the trick on the tackiness ... and then it occurred to me to use the Cleasing Oil. Bingo!! All tackiness gone, smoother soft arms, and no reaction.

I was a diehard Dermalogica precleanse balm fan - this is so much better for your skin. I love it and use it before my cleanser. Makes my skin feel so amazing!

This oil cleanser is the best product I have used to remove makeup! After using this product at the end of the day, I never wake up to makeup smudges under my eyes anymore. Since I have oily skin, I double cleanse by using the oil cleanser first to remove makeup, and then use Paula's Choice Clear cleanser to make sure all oil has been removed. If you're using the oil cleanser to remove your eye makeup, you will probably feel stinging after. Just make sure to wash your eyes thoroughly and you will have no problem with eye stinging.

My skin is clean and very soft using Paula's Cleansing Oil. The product removes makeup without irritation, even water resistant mascara. I have an active t-zone, and I never expected to use an oil cleanser. The results have been a pleasant surprise - soft, clean skin and no blackheads, no breakouts, no irritation. Very pleased with this cleanser and all PC products.

I received this as a free gift. Loving my Skin Recovery cleanser I doubted I'd find use for it. However, what I love is using it in the morning! At night I like the rich creaminess of my usual cleanser (which also removes my eye makeup easily), but in the morning I'm loving this product - it has a soft, gentle cleansing effect and leaves my Colorado dry skin with a lovely soft feel. I will restock this as my new go-to in the morning.

I use this cleansing oil to remove the rest of my makeup and cleanse my skin at night. I remove most of my makeup with a baby wipe first then use a few pumps of this mixed with a little water. Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft without being dry. I have combination skin. It does not irritate my eyes.
