I've used this as my first cleanser for the past 3 years, and haven't even considered switching! This oil cleanser is excellent at removing makeup, especially at the end of a long night (Or stumbling drunk into the bathroom at 4am...) It completely melts all my face & eye makeup off, and emulsifies well. I haven't found any significant change in my skin through using this cleanser - it just does its job well!

My thoughts on Banila Co Clean It Zero, Classic
This is a really popular cleanser worldwide and I totally get it. This is a great cleanser and it feels so nice on the skin. It takes away most of my makeup and I am super happy with it. I have really dry skin and the feeling after washing it off is nice and my skin doesn’t feel stripped of all its moisture. But still it doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy. The packaging is just cute; it comes in a plastic container together with a spatula, so no dipping with your fingers in the jar. The color is soft pink

Before trying this I read lots of reviews on it and I couldn’t find one that had anything negative to say about this product. After trying it out I totally gets why.

Since this product comes in a balm form it is very easy to apply and it melts between your fingers whilst you blend it in your skin. The smell is heavenly and I just love it and could use it only for this reason.

Great first step cleanser, removes make up like magic. I also felt like it reduced black dots. Unfortunately i broke out after using it, although not so bad, but noticeable enough to see the difference after removing it from my routine and then putting back and removing again. I blame Mineral oils, so might try Purity version of this. Other than that fantastic cleanser.

This was the first oil cleanser I ever tried, and now that I have tried a couple, I can say that this one set the bar very high.

The consistency of it is interesting, it melts into an oil in your hands pretty quickly. This oil then goes to work and makes all of your make-up disintegrate on your face, all without any rubbing whatsoever. Go to wash it off, it foams up nicely, and washes away with just a few splashes of water. This oil cleanser actually made it pleasant for me to take my make-up off, I'm currently using something else and I dread having to wash my make-up off at the end of the day. Mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, matte lipstick, full coverage foundation, it all comes off in seconds.

It had no other affect apart from taking my make-up off, no bad reactions, no skincare benefits either really, but that isn't what I'm looking for in a make-up remover anyway.

I dislike the jar, but as the product itself is so good I feel like deducting a star for it wouldn't give the right impression. It's a minor complaint for having such a good product. It's definitely worth the price of it as well, in the UK I pay £16ish online and I believe that is fair for the quality of the product. I haven't found anything similar for cheaper or even the same price, so I will pay without complaining.

This was the very first oil cleanser that I tried - it is in the form of a solid balm which you massage a small amount of onto dry skin, and then add water which emulsifies the product (turns the oil into a milky water soluble liquid).

My skin always feels moisturized after cleansing with this but I never feel that a greasy residue has been left on my face. I enjoy this version the most but appreciate that they have other varieties for different skin needs. eg. Banila co Clean it Zero Radiance.

This is very mild and would definitely be a good cleanser for someone starting with the double cleanse routine.
