I saw this product on sale ($5 instead of $17 ) so thought I'd try it. I use it as an oil cleanser to take off makeup and sunscreen in the evening, before following up with a water-soluble foaming cleanser. My skin reacted fine- no breakouts or irritation. It melts into skin really nicely, leaving a smooth but not sticky oil layer that spreads well across the whole face. I found it safe to use in my eye area for mascara. Combined with my cleanser, it removed 99% of products with no residue.
BUT... It smells SUPER strongly of clove and eucalyptus essential oils, and also includes eugenol and limonene, despite claiming to be artificial fragrance free. This wasn't a huge issue for me, since it's not a leave on product, but if you have uber-sensitive skin, I would steer clear. If you're into fragrance, essential oils, or aromatherapy, you might enjoy this. But for me, if I was paying full price, there's definitely better products in the category without the fragrance.
