This is the Balea Cleansing Oil, it was 13$ from Shoppers Drug Mart


I have been wanting to see what the fuss about “Cleansing Oils” was all about. I tried looking up reviews for ones they sell at Sephora, but its impossible to find a good review because there's always people with oily skin complaining how using an oily cleanser made them oily or break out. Like of course, oil based products and oily skin can be problematic.
I gave up on trying to find an oil cleanser from sephora because I couldn't find one that would for sure work for my skins needs.
I do not have oily skin what so ever. Never has my skin produced oil. I also do not have sensitive or acne prone skin. My main issue is dryness, minor redness, and dark circles. 

This stuff does have fragrance, so if your skin is sensitive that might be bad. I cant smell any fragrance though (I have no sense of smell).

I did not use this to remove makeup. I think 2 in 1 makeup removing cleansers are bad for your skin. By removing your makeup and cleansing your skin at the same time, you're just rubbing in your days makeup into your skin. I use Neutrogena’s Ol Free Makeup Remover (my HG, I have been using this for 5+ years). 

 I dont really like the pump, it's hard to squirt out a tiny amount of product. It is very oily obviously. I applied this to my face with my hands, gently massaged it, let it sit for a minute or 2, and then gently wiped it off with a face towel.


It left my skin feeling baby butt soft! No more dryness on my forehead or around my nose. I dont think it did much for “cleansing”, I mean my face did feel clean but it doesn’t seem to have any soap qualities to it.


I am really happy with this product, but I will continue to use my Lush Cleanser or my sisters SkinFix Cleanser for Dry Skin to cleanse my face.


If you have dry skin thats not sensitive, this might make a great moisturizer for you. I apply this to my face when I go in the shower and it prevents my face from feeling horribly tight after I get out of the shower.
