Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil Review

I'm gonna preface this review by saying a week is DEFINITELY not long enough to trial a skincare product and actually see a change.

Despite that, this product is really lovely to use and works really well as a cleanser for my oily/combination/acne-prone skin. If anyone's thinking that oil is a stupid thing to put on your skin, just know that basic chemistry says that oil breaks down oil-soluble products (like most eyeliners, mascaras, and lipsticks,) making them easily removed when washed off with warm water. I usually use a cotton ball soaked in olive oil to remove my makeup anyway as makeup remover products are overpriced for essentially just being oil and water. The same goes for your skin's oils, so when rinsed off I was left with soft, hydrated skin. I usually use Cetaphil acne cleanser which is probably better for my acne but can be a bit drying, so using the oil cleanser at night and Cetaphil in the mornings kept my skin at a really nice oil balance. Overall I'd definitely recommend this as a cleanser, especially if you wear makeup on a regular basis :) It would probably be a great cleanser for dry skin too, and it's definitely helped my dry patches (nose and forehead) to stay hydrated :)

I had mixed feelings about this product before it arrived. Initially I was excited but by the time it had arrived I'd convinced myself an oil would be too heavy for my skin and my excitement had all but died. But being a grateful beautyreview girl, I didn't want to let anyone down so that night set to removing that days makeup. I instantly changed my mind and loved the product! I needed to use more than just a few drops but it was an excellent and effective makeup remover and cleanser and washed off easily with warm water. My skin was left feeling soft and hydrated, rather than heavy with oil. At only $11.99 and containing no artificial nasties, I'm completely converted!

This product was great, I would use it again and recommend to others, it wasn't like any normal cleanser to apply, it's very runny and didn't feel like you are putting anything on your face but you are & it does work to remove makeup. It doesn't make your skin have a tight and dry feeling either.

Love the silky feeling of the oil, glides over your face and eyes easily, no harsh or over powering fragrances or greasy, oily residue. This product is simple as its name, 1 2 3 and your done!

My first impression of the Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil was that whilst it was very effective at removing makeup, my skin did not feel as clean as I had hoped. For the first 3 times that I used it, I did not follow it up with any exfoliaters or toners to get a clear idea of what the oil did. When I used it in conjunction with an exfoliater, toner, and moisturiser I found that I was much happier with the results. My extremely acne prone skin felt much more hydrated and healthy and I will definitely continue to use this product.

First of all, thanks BR for letting me trial this!

This product has cute and simple packaging, much like the rest of the brands products. Mine however leaked in the post, so I would be hesitant to take this on holiday with me!

As someone with sensitive combination skin, finding a simple cleanser and make up remover can be a challenge. This was a good addition!

It says to use a few drops, but for heavier make up I would recommend using a couple more (especially with a red lip) although for light make up and no make up, a couple drops worked well! After massaging the oil into your skin, use some warm water to help spread it and dissolve make up (which it does do!). I felt like using a facecloth to get it off was a good idea if you're not in the shower.

The texture of this product is just a light oil, which makes your skin feel nice and soft after using. It's pretty natural, made of grape seed oil, which is nice to know you're only putting something natural on your skin!

I would recommend this to friends and will continue to use again! :)

This product is cheap yet worth it!

It says to use 2-3 drops however I found it was way to little and ended up using way more.

I massaged it for about 1 minute then rinsed off with warm water. It left my skin feeling smooth and moisturize yet not oily (I have combo oily skin)

The only down side to this soul have to be the smell it literally feels and smells like I'm putting put olive oil on my face -super nasty. It also did not take off all my makeup so I would not use it as an alternative to my makeup remover.

Other than that I will continue using it :)

I don't mind it. But I prefer other cleansing oils. The directions say 2-3 drops but I found it wasn't enough, I use more like 6-7 drops. Removes makeup really well. Definitely best used on dry skin(with dry hands!) otherwise it turns milky too quickly and doesn't have the same cleansing power. I find that I want to still use my normal facial cleanser afterwards though.

I have actually seen this brand in stores but have never before been drawn to purchase it until now!! I have tried other make up removers I like, but my skin tends to be a little temperamental and some irritate my eyes, so I'm always a little apprehensive to try a new one!

I've been using another brand for a while now which does the job, BUT I was pleasantly surprised by this product. And I've grown to like the simple design of the bottle, the small size received was great to take away from home in my bag The fact it's oil and purified water together is cool!! Because some liquids on their own dry my skin and then using oil such as coconut oil- all though effective can be TOO OILY!

This product is the perfect mix of both. It really did get off my waterproof mascara easily and didn't leave me with red tired looking eyes from rubbing hard as it just wasn't needed! My skin felt hydrated and refreshed and no sign or irritation. I didn't even feel the need to moisturize after

Let's just say this is on my shopping list to grab another bottle before it runs out. I think this has become my new go to make up remover!! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try something I normally look past for other brands. I'm now curious to try other products in their range.

Happy lady! Happy skin!
