Am I the only person who had a not so great experience with this product?
I bought this 2 weeks back because it is winter and I need a cleanser that will not dry out my skin. Seeing all these fantastic reviews of course I went to go buy it with no doubt that I will be satisfied with it. Now it is sitting in my bathroom mirror looking pretty in all it's blue glory.
Pros:> It does not leave my skin feeling dry after use.
>works ok when not removing make up but just using it as a cleanser.
Cons: I am not happy with the smell, I can't describe it but it is not pleasant.I have to hold my breath in when massaging it on my face.
>The 3 times I have used it to remove foundation did not work out well. I massaged the oil on my face took a bit of water and massage again to get the milky texture, rinsed and I ended up having sticky foundation on my face. The 4th time I massaged it in my face, took a bit of water and then wiped it off my face.
>I find that I still had to wash my face again to make sure it is clean or I will witness some of the foundation on a cotton pad when applying toner.
I think the product works fine if you have to do double cleansing or using it as an emollient. I wish I had a better experience.

Results :It has been a week using the Lipidol cleanser and no changes to the condition of my skin.No dryness or tightness to my face after use.Removes make up well on the face but not so well for eye make up. Make up is dissolved by the oil.
Verdict:For a cleanser i do prefer a foamy lather rather than liquid because i honestly think i am clean if there is a foamy lather(please tell me i'm not alone).I thought I would have to remove my make up with a make up remover first before using the Lipidol cleanser but not at all so its great but my eye make up needs some extra tlc.

This is by far the most amazing product I've ever used for my fickle skin. You basically apply the oil sparingly onto your face and rub it it, apply a little water and it will remove your make up and any other dirt. You finally rinse your face. It feels so hydrated and moisturised. Why? Because unlike other cleansing products it doesn't strip your face of its natural oils.
