"My face isn’t clean until it’s “Precleanse” clean!! I massage it in all over me face and all the gunk from the day just melts away, even waterproof mascara!! Follow that with Daily Microfobial or Special Cleanser and my face is happy super clean!"
"I love this product and have been using it for at least 7 years. I find most cleansers leave my face feeling too dry, too tight, or with residual gunk on my face. But this product has the opposite effect, it makes my skin feel clean, smooth and leaves some moisture. I have a very low maintenance skin routine. It involves me washing my face everyday in the shower with this product, then using overnight serum or cream when I remember (probably 2 - 4 times a week). I am often complimented on my youthful skin."
"I absolutely love this cleansing oil. It is great at removing your makeup gently, without irritating your skin. It starts off as an oil, and you add water and it turns to almost a clay like cleanser. I have been using this product for a very long time, and will continue to use it. It smells amazing from the essential oils, it has a great slip."
"This item is my go-to, everyday staple. The formula is perfect. Began using this in esthetic school and never went back. I use it personally and professionally in my business. Love to treat my clients with the pre cleanse step."
"My skin is very sensitive and ive been searching for pre cleansing oils especially to help me when I have heavy make ups on. I usually get break outs while trying pre cleansing oils and my friend recommended this and Iv been using this for 2yrs now and never looked for any other product anymore."
"Love precleanse I use it everytime I wash my face removes any build up in my skin and makes my skin feel smooth and glowy"
"My skin looks so refreshed and glowing"
"This is part of my everyday nighttime routine now, because it smells so good, feels so good, and makes my face feel so soft and pampered."
"I’ve been using the precleanse for over 6 years and I do not plan of changing this :) amazing product, takes off makeup and washes off without a trace"
"This melts makeup and daily dirt away The pump does pump out too much product."
