Review: Hada Labo Cleaning oil with High Purity Olive Oil

Before i start i'll have to first state that i'm not the biggest fan of cleansing oils for a few reasons:

1st: To me cleansing oil are seriously super messy to work with.

2nd: If cleansing oils are not used the right way, it will cause your skin to be even more messed up with all this greasy residue causing even more clogged pores and acne.

3rd: I use to wear false lashes and i have to get they off with a water based remover before i start with the cleansing oil coz i wan to "preserve" them for further use and i dun want my falsies to look all greasy and disgusting the next time i use them.

4th: In some days of the month when i'm suffering from our monthly girly problem, i've have seriously oily skin and major breakouts and in my opinion i really dun like the idea of putting more oil on my oily face. 

But like i always say, there is no bad product just a product that doesn't suit you. So i tot why not give it a try since it's sponsored.

So here goes:

Like the Hada Labo SHA hydrating Lotion and facial wash i've reviewed on before,1 of the 2 main ingredients of the Hada Labo Hydrating Cleansing oil is the Super Hyaluronic Acid which is said to have 2 times more moisture than normal hyaluronic acid where 1g can retain 12 litres of water.

The 2nd key ingredients is the Ultra Pure Olive oil that ensures high performance cleansing without irritating your skin. Apart from being able to cleanse your face, olive oils are also known to be use by the woman of old times to maintain smooth and radiant skin. Olive oils are also known to be used for anti-aging.

The reason why i dun like Cleansing oil.

Look at that super tired face after work! Seriously all i want is to sit down relax and have sometime for myself and my daughter.

Anyways, I've been using the Hada Labo Cleansing oil for the past week and i would say it's not one of the most "powerful" cleansing oil i've tried. It doesn't remove waterproof mascaras and waterproof eyeliners! I won't deny that after raising the cleansing oil off, my face feels nice, not tight or super dry. And the scent, reminds me of my childhood toy, Bestman bubble !! *GOOGLE IT* haha.

I won't say that its a bad make up remover but it's definitely not a one solution to remove all your make up at one go for those who prefer using waterproof make up.

Here's a little test to prove my statement. Also at the same time a short demo to how cleansing oil should be used.

I have on my hand 5 different liner/ pencil for eye make up and i'm going to test if the Hada Labo Cleansing oil is as good as promised.

And of course, 1st we rub abit of cleansing oil on the makeup.

Note that some liners has been removed.

The 2nd step is where alot of people think that simply just be raising off the cleansing oil with water will be sufficient. 

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Our 2nd step when using a cleansing oil should be emulsion. This is where we add alittle bit of water to the cleansing oil turning it into a milky texture. 

What i usually do is to rinse my hands after massaging the cleansing oil on my face, then without scooping any water, simply just rest my still wet hands *sound so wrong* on my face and gently massage. You will then notice the cleansing oil turn "milky".  

The Emulsion step is where the cleansing oil can effectively remove makeup and not leave any oil residue on your skin. So it's very important.

And, last but not least. Rinse with water.

Results are, the Hada Labo Cleansing oil maybe able to remove smudge proof makeup but not waterproof make up and my skin feels nice and soft as promised.

Well, if you are not a big fan of water proof make up and your current makeup remover is turning your face in to a clay mask. I would say that the Hada Labo Cleansing oil is worth a try.
