I agree with the previous reviewer, in that I can't decide if I like it. It's strongly on the fence. It's jojoba and macadamia scented, but I say it smells like a cantaloupe melon. Now, it's an oil that you put directly on your face and then rub all around. It says to wash off with water to emulsify the oil, but this would take forever. It's more of an apply oil to face, splash water on, and then use a towel to wipe off all the oil. I was splashing my face over ten times and still had a face covered in oil, so you must wipe it off with a face towel. It was incredibly good at removing all makeup, even black eye makeup; I didn't have to go over my eyes with remover and a cotton ball to get any raccoon face off. It took off everything. And as a bonus it left my face really soft and moisturized, you don't really need to lotion after. It's a very cling-to-your-face oil. And it smells nice. But, do I really want to have to wipe off all the oil(after water)with a towel? I don't think I liked how much water I was using to try to emulsify, and none of the oil came off. But it's really effective. It is really different than other cleansers/makeup removers on the market.

I am debating as to whether I like this or not.

On the one hand, it does work to remove makeup - even the most waterproof will eventually be broken down by the oil. It left a slight film after being rinsed that made my skin feel soft. The scent was nice.

On the other hand, it took quite a bit longer to break down my eye makeup than my strongest cleanser. I still had to wipe remnants away from the bottom of my eye lids. If you are sensitive to fragrance, this had a strong scent that stayed on the skin for a while after use. Because it doesn't rinse off completely, this would not be recommended for those with acne prone, oily skin or in humid conditions as it may aggravate existing skin problems. I was tempted to rewash my face after.

Mind you, I am relatively new to cleansing oils, so perhaps this was supposed to be like that. Still not sure if this will be a part of my regular cleansing routine.

I use this product especially in the winter to keep my face moisturized and it works well. I do recommend this product.

I received a sample of this cleansing oil through the mail not long ago. I love this stuff. I have very dry skin and this works great on it. Leaves my skin moisturized and soft. It doesn't leave my dry skin feeling tight like some cleansers do. This is a wonderful product for dry skin.

I got this to try out mainly as a makeup remover, but also for cleansing on days when my skin is feeling dry or sensitive.
As a makeup remover, the Nourishing Cleansing Oil works very well! It loosens up all of my makeup, quickly and effectively. It is great for removing mascara, liner and eye shadow, but it does seem a little bit harder to rinse out of my eyelashes so I have to be a little more thorough there.
The Cleansing Oil is supposed to be applied dry, and then can be washed off regularly with water. It still leaves a slight residue on my skin after rinsing, which is great for days when my skin needs a little extra moisture. Sometimes I wash my face again with my usual cleanser, and then I don't have to worry about whether I've gotten all of my makeup off.
The product has a slight fragrance which I kind of like. It's slightly artificial, but seems like it's a fruity/flowery scent, with a hint of something nutty (like macadamia oil, which is an ingredient in this).
I like using this to remove my makeup, and it's cool seeing the oil emulsify with water and become more of a cleanser. It leaves a bit too much of a residue on my skin for me to use it alone as a cleanser too often, but it's great to have around for days when my skin needs extra care.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this product and glad that I purchased it.

Since I am acne prone, I use it before I step into the shower and then I use my Mia2 with The Body Shop Tea Tree cleaner to wash off my face. The smell is pleasant. I love the fact that it removes my eye makeup without fussing over cotton balls and Qtips. Just gently massage over your face and wash it off. No breakout and that's a plus.

Was skeptical about using an oil on my skin, as it is combination and with the summer heat, can get a but oilier in places. I first tried the Shu Uemura Cleansing oil and was in love. However, I am not one to spend $30 just to cleanse my skin, so when I saw a drugstore alternative from Garnier, I purchased it immediately.

I find it works very well - it removes all traces of your makeup and is very nourishing. Similar to the expensive cleaning oils, but at a fraction of the cost. I would definitely purchase this again.

Tip - make sure you follow the directions. It must be applied to dry skin, and then emulsify it with water, in order for the product to work.
