Milky Mushroom - Gentle Cleansing Oil

Irritated my skin

I pulled the trigger on this cleanser after about a month of contemplation, was so excited when it arrived, used it for the first time today… the cleansing part itself feels nice and creamy, not oily, and so easy to take of with water, leaving no residue. However, as you can see by my picture, it did irritate it quite tremendously, to be fair, I do have quite sensitive skin that can be quite reactive to new products. So sad to see that it didn’t work out for me, specially because of how much I’d been wanting it. If you have “regular” skin, be warned, but take this lightly, if you have sensitive skin, be careful, the picture is after icing my skin for a few minutes.

Does not cleanse well

Pretty packaging but does not cleanse well. Does not lather at all which I know oils don’t but this starts to disappear on your skin quickly. Leaves a residue and does not remove make up great.

No for me

This has a pretty strong exfolianting effect given that it contains lactic acid. I would not recommend this for the eye area since it can be irritating and the skin on the eyes is very thin. Unless you want to purchase another product to remove makeup from the eyes I’d skip this

Makes your skin so smooth and removed makeup

I double cleanse in my PM skincare routine, I use this alongside a foaming cleanser. This makes my skin so smooth and it smells really good. I love the clean ingredients and the packaging is absolutely gorgeous. It is certainly on the more expensive side however, I think it’s worth investing in good quality skincare products.

I will never go back to anything else ! It’s so nourishing! Removed my makeup and left my face soft and bright. Those who say it does not remove makeup completely it’s probably because you are using a real heavy amount of makeup; in that case do it twice of double cleanse. In my case I use light makeup so I only need one try and am good!

Απολαυστικό!

Πολύ καλό καθαριστικό ειδικά για ξηρή/κανονική επιδερμίδα. Βγάζει αρκετά καλά το μακιγιαζ γιατί έχει ως βάση το λάδι. Αισθάνομαι όμως οτι τελειώνει γρηγορότερα από άλλα παρόμοιου μεγέθους, λόγω της προτεινόμενης δοσολογίας.

I realized this has what I think is an AHA in it. At first made my skin quite red, but when I used it less frequently it actually made my skin very nice. Should be listed more appropriately but ultimately worked well for me.

Use it properly!

I really love this, it is beautiful and luxurious. It doesn’t irritate my skin and makes it soft. Those who are saying it leaves a residue and there is makeup left- it is a cleansing oil, not a face wash. If you wear makeup you are supposed to double cleanse, cleansing oil softens your makeup and breaks it down and then you wash your face with a cleanser to completely remove it from your face. If you wear makeup you should be double cleansing, even just using a cleanser once isn’t enough. You also have to shake the bottle before using it and i use about two-three pumps for a full face of makeup. Again it is made to break up makeup not completely remove it, and the film that is on your skin is meant to be washed off with another cleanser. It is a very gentle formula which i love. I have tried other cleansing oils and they don’t work half as well as this one. I wear lots of glitter on my eyes and after using this and the ordinary’s fulvic acid wash my face is completely clean. If you aren’t using the product properly, you aren’t going to get desired results.

Turned my face red

I thought this was just an oil cleanser but it has AHA in it. I instantly had a reaction, my face turned bright right and was so itchy. I’m used to AHAs but my skin hated this. So bummed I was look forward to loving this.

Doesn’t work for removing makeup

I wanted a natural and oil based cleanser to remove my makeup. This does not work to remove makeup well. It never emulsified the makeup or really made it come off easily how I wanted. I have to follow up with a microfiber cloth to actually clean anything off. I can’t recommend this product.

Not Worth It

Love some of the lines other products but this is not it. Very liquid and left face feeling unclean - extremely gentle… too gentle and required additional cleansers. Price point is NOT worth it. Skip.

This is the only cleanser/cleansing oil that has worked for my combination, acne-prone skin! It’s very gentle, love the smell, and that it’s an environmentally concious brand. Will definitely be purchasing again.
