This cleansing oil comes from a relatively obscure Korean brand called Danahan. Ecopure is its organic skincare line made with pure natural ingredients and supposedly contains no paraben, no alcohol, no artificial pigment, no benzophenone, and no mineral oil. Sounds good! I bought it a local Japanese market but it is available from online sellers as well.
It comes in a 200 ml plastic bottle with a simple green design and a really convenient pump.
The consistency of this oil is slightly different from the other oils that I have used: it is less thick and does not resemble cooking oils at all.
If you can see, it is pretty watery and ran down my hand immediately.
The oil needs to be massaged on a dry face with dry hands for a few moments, then water needs to be added to emulsify the oil and create lather. The oil picks up all the dirt, make-up and impurities from the skin and can be washed off really easily. It does not leave any trace on the skin. It generally does a really good job cleaning make-up off without stripping the skin's natural oils. I wear quite a bit of product during the day including a sun block, BB cream, concealer, powder and sometimes foundation. This oil removes it all! I follow it up with a foam cleanser and I feel like my face is squeaky clean afterwards. I also feel since I started using it my skin has become brighter and less prone to break outs.
But the best part of this oil is its smell! I usually don't care about smells because I just perceive them as artificial additives with no redeeming value, but this product smells so fresh and tasty that I look forward to using it every night.
Honestly, I know if feels weird using oils on oily skin, but they are the best at cleaning your face. If you wear sun block, BB cream, foundation and such, normal cleanser is not enough! I found that out the hard way. Cleansing oils are perfect for all skin types and once you start using them, there is no going back.
I generally do not believe in spending money on cleansers considering that they get washed off, so I was happy to purchase this product for only $13. It is definitely money worth spent!
OVERALL: Highly recommended. Inexpensive and gets the job done.
