Review: Shu Uemura Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil

Shu Uemura Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil (4ml)

This week review is on Shu Uemura Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil. Don't quite remember how I got this sample. But should be from Shu Uemura Singapore Facebook. 

Overall, this cleansing oil is really able to remove all makeup cleanly, even waterproof makeup. However, I feel that its not suitable for my combination skin, especially my oily, acne T-zone area. After using, it will cause blemish and pimples.

My Review
Don't quite remember how I got this sample. But should be from Shu Uemura Singapore Facebook.

The cleansing oil is colorless. Its transparent and has no fragrance smell.

Cleansing oil is transparent.

To check if it really can clean off makeup, even waterproof makeup cleanly, lets do a small experiment. 

I have apply different makeup on my hand. (From left to right: Jill Lowe eye brown pencil, Jill Lowe eye liner, SilkyGirl big eye mascara, eye shadow, blusher, Estee Lauder double wear foundation, Jill Lowe foundation Powder, The Body Shop Lily Cole simmer, Jill Lowe lipstick)

Makeup apply onto my hand.

After spreading the cleansing oil and emulsify, I can already see all the makeup off my hand. But waterproof mascara need emulsify before it is off. 

After washing off, all makeup is cleanly removed and the area that I cleanse on my hand feel smooth. :D

Applying the cleansing oil on half of the makeup.

After cleaning half of the makeup. The cleanse off half is cleanly removed.

Cleaning off using cotton wool.

I do not usually like using cleansing oil as often it will cause blemish on my skin. But I went ahead to give this one a try after see how cleanly it can remove my makeup and it claim to be suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. :) However despite its claim, after using this cleansing oil for a week, my skin start to have blemish and pimples especially on my T-Zone area. :(

Blemish and pimples after using.

Overall, this cleansing oil is really able to remove all makeup cleanly, even waterproof makeup. However, I feel that its not suitable for my combination skin, especially my oily, acne T-zone area as after using, it will cause blemish and pimples.

Therefore, I will not recommend it for oily and acne prone skin.
