Cleansing Oils For Acne-Prone Skin

“Honestly not my favorite hair oil. There are better hair oils out there. I would honestly just recommend a purple shampoo and conditioner over this”
Oily Skin Cleansing Milk
“I am loving this body milk it's silky and so hydrating and absorbs quickly into the skin this has conditioning oils and butters that leaves your skin soft smooth hydrated and healthy looking my skin feels baby soft and it glows this body milk plumps skin instantly for all day hydration instantly improves and strengthens the skins moisture barrier and revives and renews dry thirsty skin this has notes of bergamot jasmine and white orchid and smells wonderful this is great for all skin types and is vegan cruelty free and gluten free I will buy this again”

Makeup Cleansing Water
“It's not AS great at removing hardcore eye makeup (which I think any cleansing waters struggle with... that stuff needs a balm/oil cleanser) but it leaves my skin feeling so fresh and not sticky at all”
Healthy Facial Cleanser
“Good PH balanced cleanser for acne prone combo type skin I think anyone can also use it the trick with these cleansers is to use a makeup melting balm to take off your makeup first then cleanse”
