My Review

This Cleansing Oil has been specifically designed to gently cleanse and help replenish these skin types as well as eczema-prone skin. The oil texture seals in moisture for 24 hours and helps protect against the drying effect of water, leaving the skin feeling super comfortable and soft.

I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin since using it and I don’t itch anywhere near as much as I used to previously. Formulated with a minimal number of ingredients to minimise risks of any allergies, the Cleansing Oil is free from fragrance and soap, being gentle on the skin and not stinging the eyes. Even from the first use, I was so pleasantly surprised by how much by dryness, redness and itching had reduced by.

How long did it last: It last me almost 2 months using it daily.

What I like the most: How soft and hydrated my skin felt.

Score: 4/5. Excellent

Will I repurchase it: Yes
