With just 2 to 3 pumps of this, I’m able to remove all of my make up, which sometimes is a heavy on the foundation and concealer as well as mascara. Obviously this has an oily consistency, so it works better at removing make up. After washing my face with water, there is a residue that feels sticky and oily. However, I go in with a second face wash and it completely cleans my skin. It doesn’t strip my skin off oils, but also having oily skin to begin with It also doesn’t increase the production of oil.
