Comments about precleanse:
I am a fitness instructor/trainer and a performer. I sweat a lot during the week and on the weekends I wear a lot of makeup so I was looking for something to break through the outer layer of gunk on my skin so I could better cleanse. I also have sensitive combination skin (a bit more oily than dry). This stuff works great breaking through the gunk, but I've noticed that if I use it more than a couple of days in a row, I go through a minor breakout. I decided to reserve it for just the days I wear a lot of makeup and it is great.
If you don't have oily and sensitive skin, you could probably use this daily!
Comments about precleanse:
I got this in a small set I ordered and it is by far the best thing for lifting make up off that I have ever used! I follow with two washes of the special cleansing gel as I wear full coverage make up so it's good to make sure I've got rid of everything. It feels nice on, it smells nice and it is very gentle on my sensitive skin. It's expensive but worth it for the amount you use, it will last a long time.
Comments about precleanse:
I use the precleanse oil at night as the first step in a deliberate skin care routine. When followed by the special cleansing gel and then a daily exfoliant my skin is looking the best it has in years.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

To me is a mist have part of a good skin care regimen. You can really feel it working and it leaves your face clean and soft and ready for your cleanser!
Comments about precleanse:
This is long but I tend to get wordy when I'm excited! I was a bit put off by the smell at first - granted I opened the cap and put my nose to it. Because i have sensitive skin, I spot-tested on the back of my hand. The scent is quite light, as was the texture. After I washed it off, my skin was quite smooth! Imagine the results after using it on my face (its true purpose). I suffer from hormonal acne, but my skin type is oily 25/8 so when my skin clears up it's great, but any trigger can set off breakouts back to back that sets my improvements off-track (this can suck). This past winter my skin grew dehydrated & dull. Part of my skin journey are finding simple/straight to the point products that help reduce my oiliness and work on my clogged pores/breakouts, and I heard dual-cleansing is a start. My first try, I had to remove my BB cream so I pumped once onto my hands. The oil is light but can be runny, but the makeup once I began rubbing, and emulsified, dripped off my face. I focused around my nose/cheeks and could feel everything clearing ("grits" if you will). My skin was soft but a bit red due to the oils and perhaps my rubbing, but it wasn't irritated/uncomfortable. I used my favorite gel cleanser afterwards. My skin was clean, not tight and gave room for my toners etc.
Since my purchase, I try to use this at least 2-3xs weekly (not gonna over-do it as I don't want to dry my skin out), and exfoliate with a damp cleansing brush to emulsify & remove all the impurities after rubbing this all over my face. I also pat the oil on my face as I can just spread it and start rubbing gently without wasting any product.
Comments about precleanse:
I have dry skin and love how this product feels on my skin. And the smell is amazing! I feel pampered after using this cleanser!
Comments about precleanse:
I've been using precleanse for a while now and I can't rave about it enough. It cuts through even the most stubborn makeup and really reduces the amount of time I take removing makeup. I have combination, acne prone skin and find that it makes my skin feel lovely and soft,more hydrated wihout feeling greasy, and hasn't caused any breakouts on my skin at all. The price initially put me off, but honestly it's worth it for the results!
Comments about precleanse:
I love this product. It feels very well on my face
Comments about precleanse:
This product is fantastic. I had been using a pre-cleanse type product from another line, but then received this one as a sample. The scent is wonderful, and it leaves my skin feeling very clean, especially the pores on my nose which tend to be a little bit and large and dark colored. After using the pre-cleanse my nose looks so lovely. My only complaint about the pre-cleanse in the sample size anyway, is that the kind of leaks out what I'm trying to get it onto my hands and I feel like I'm wasting some of it.
Comments about precleanse:
ever since i started using this my dry skin on my nose and chin have gone away! it has been great to use on my sensitive skin! i love it!

Hello,Q:
With my sensitive skin, this PreCleanse is both gentle and thorough. The problem has been the packaging. My last three purchases have arrived with less than half as the rest spilled in transit and, once here, the pump is constantly leaking. Considering that this issue has been brought to your attention repeatedly since you changed the top, are there any plans to change the pump? Or even give us an option?1 answer
