I swear my acne/redness calmed down the day after I used this oil. I was previously using Aesop foaming cleanser and my skin was so angry and horrible :(
I decided to switch back to an oil cleanser because I had previously been successful with Shu Uemura (I used to work for them, they know their stuff!). Sadly, they pretty much got rid of Shu from the States so I had to find something else.
My sister is currently using Josie Maran's oil, but I felt like it was too heavy for me and it tasted nasty (it would always get into my mouth!) So after scouring Sephora, I decided to try Amore's (plus MUA reviews, naturally, swayed my decision). What a great find!
It's light, it smells pleasant, and it doesn't aggravate my skin. Most of all, the entire line seems to be *healing* my skin, with less frequent angry cysts. The price is quite reasonable for the amount you get, and it's worth it for calm skin.

I love this cleansing oil! The smell can be offputting for some (I bought a set of Amore Pacific skincare for my mother and mother-in-law, but they quickly threw it away due to the smell) but it's fine for me! I find that the cleansing oil works best when you have a wet cloth, throw it in the microwave for a couple of seconds (I have a microwave in my master bath, used solely for this that I disinfect religiously), and wipe off the oil. All of my makeup is wiped off leaving my pores extremely clean! It's almost like a mini-facial!
Like most AP products, this cleansing oil did not break out my skin!

I had high hopes for this but simply, - Amore Pacific Treatment Cleansing Oil - $50 for 6.8 oz, was okay but my skin was not as radiant or bright or as soft compared to when I use cleansing oils from Boscia or DHC. Amore's Cleansing Oil also leaves a "slightly oily/greasy film" (which DHC and Boscia does not) that I need to wash off with my DHC soap.

Other facial oils I have tried:
- Boscia Cleansing Oil - this is the best facial cleansing oil I have tried so far ($26 for 5 oz, reasonable for the great quality). I feel very guilty as I loved DHC's Facial Cleansing Oil for years (my skin feels so soft, bright and radiant after using the DHC oil) but I feel Boscia's is a bit better as it leaves my skin even softer than DHC's. The only reason I tried Boscia's is that I can conveniently buy it from Sephora instead of ordering DHC's by mail and also for the rave reviews from MUA. I massage the dry oil onto my face for 30 seconds and when I add water, I like that the product turns milky (DHC does not turn milky) and rinses away clean. The fragrance is lovely, texture is less heavy than DHC's and DHC leaves my skin a tad bit more dry than Boscia's.
- DHC, $26 for 6.7 oz, wonderful but I just think Boscia's leaves my skin a tad more soft
- Shu Uemura's Cleansing Oil, $50 for 5 oz, only positive is the nice bottle. Horrible fact: main ingredient is mineral oil (ugh) while DHC's is olive oil. Shu's oil left a disgusting film on my face which left me feeling unclean (culprit - mineral oil).

I am Korean, 44 yrs old but most (facialists/aestheticians) think I'm 26-32. I have combination skin (very dry in winter, slightly oily in summer however prone to plugged pores and occasional breakouts). I use: Natura Bisse, Perricone, Jurlique, & MD Forte. continued >>

This was yet another cleansing oil I tried to make work for my clog prone skin and as usual broke me out and was way to overpriced. Affter bombing out with this ran across my now Holy Grail of Origins Clean Energy Cleansing Oil. Amazing price, all antural ingredients, and finally for the love of god doesn't break me out yet deep cleans and elminated my need to use scrubs anymore. Miracle status lol. If anyone has had problems finding a cleansing oil that works try it!

I think this costs about the same as Shu Uemura cleansing oil per ml.
It smells horrible(strong grandma makeup smell) but I can stand it.
I've used cleansing oils from MAC, KATE(japanese brand), Shiseido and so far this one is the best.
The texture is not as light as the ones I've used yet easy enough to massage onto my face. It removes makeup very well. The best thing about this is that I don't break out from using this. I am scared to try another and take so long to recover from possible breakouts. I will definitely repurchase AP cleansing oil.

Hmmm...I expected this one to work out, but it's probably the dreaded olive oil that's making my skin unhappy. Compared to my Shu Uemura A/O cleansing oil, this one has a thinner consistency and my skin doesn't feel as refreshed afterwards, even if I use a toner. I also develop spots of itching/tingling on my face...most notably around the mouth, cheeks, and hairline. I find it strange that this product is free of dyes, yet has a very strong fragrance...a bit on the floral side. That could also be contributing to the irritation I'm experiencing. Bottle looks the same as VOS water...I'm bothered there's no locking mechanism for the pump - makes it less secure for traveling. Up for swap this goes! ~~~INGREDIENTS: hydrogenated polydecene * C12-15 alkyl benzoate * PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate * PEG-8 isostearate * isopropyl palmitate * polysorbate 80 * hydrogenated isocetyl olivate * hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiables * meadowfoam seed oil * safflower seed oil * jojoba seed oil * macadamia ternifolia seed oil * bamboo sap * grapeseed oil * tocopherol * glyceryl linoleate * glyceryl linolenate * glyceryl arachidonate * fragrance

I have been on an AmorePacific kick lately ever since I tried the Enzyme Treatment Peel (I've written a review on that as well). This cleansing oil is one of the best I've tried (Fancl, Shu, Shiseido, DHC, MAC, Kose, Boscia, many more). In fact, I'd rank it right up there with Fancl which has been my favorite for years. To me it is most similar to Fancl in texture and performance. This takes every bit of makeup and dirt off and leaves my combo/oily skin feeling perfect. Not too greasy nor dry or tight feeling. This also does not sting the eyes and doesn't leave that weird film over your lashes that makes everything look blurry for a while. The differences between this and Fancl (if you're familiar with Fancl and would like to know) is the fragrance - which I happen to love. And, the texture is just a tad heavier than Fancl's. Yes, I will repurchase. EDIT 9/13/09 - I've decided that I don't like this anymore. I've moved on to Boscia's and that one is true HG. It has the texture of Fancl's with the cool minty tingle and scent. continued >>

This is one of the best cleansing oil I have tried (I used Shu, Shiseido, Fancl, DHC, Nude, MAC, La Mer..). It's light weight and non-greasy. I especially love that fact that it's NOT mineral oil based like Shu Uemura. The scent, which does not bother me, is similar to all other Amore Pacific products. It removes makeup very well and skin feels quite refreshed afterwards. I found 1 to 2 pumps are plenty enough for one wash.
The only thing I dislike about this product is the packaging. The pump design is somewhat strange. It is hard to push down sometimes. But other than that, this is a great cleansing oil. The price is quite resonable to me and a bottle last me about 9 months (USD50 for 6.8 oz).
I have switched to Eve Lom cleanser. But if one day I am switching back to use cleansing oil, Amore Pacific will be my #1 choice.

I have never used or even heard of cleansing oils until I went to Japan 5 years ago. My friend who is also a makeup junkie like myself introduced me to DHC cleansing oil which was very popular at the time. I was iffy about putting oil to remove my make up but after a couple use I discovered that it removes my makeup (including eye makeup) very well without over drying my skin. After that I've used cleansing oils from fancle, shu uemura, etude, etc. I was particularly happy with fancle but unfortunately I can't get it where I live (vancouver). I've been using other cleansing products from Amore Pacific so I gave this one a try and boy it was the right decision. It is light weight (altho it is an oil cleanser it is lighter than shu uemura cleansers), removes makeup and other impurities but leaves your skin moisturized. I do alternate between dior cleansing milk and this and do another wash with a foaming cleanser and sometimes use the cleansing water from avene. So far I haven't had any breakouts which is a miracle for me. I would repurchase and highly recommend this product (actually most of amore pacific products)

This stuff is great. I am a guy and it cleans my skin and doesn't dry it out. I was a bit skeptical at first about slathering oil all over my face as I am prone to breakouts and didnt want to clog my pores. This oil however turns into a very fine cleansing liquid when you put water on it. The trick is to put the oil on your face and rub in circular motions to let the oil loosen up any gunk in your pores. After that get your hands wet and rub your face, emulsifies the oil and sucks it out of your face leaving you super clean but not dry

I love this cleanser, it was my first oil-based cleanser and the only one i want to use! it i was very skeptical about all the frangrence in this bc my skin is hupersensitive, but it did not irritation. I also used the powder exfoliater stuff with it and loved that too. Amore pacific is so expensive though, i mean 50$ for a cleanser is seriously crazy if you really think about it. so i have to be extra frugle while using it..but ya very good stuff!

simply the best oil cleanser!

i have never used a cleaning oil before, but i heard that hilary duff used this line, so i looked at it, and this stuff seems so goo,d and i was so exited to try it out, but it is highly highly perfumed and made my very sensitive skin super red on my cheeks and forhead.. so it is good if you are not sensitive, but if you are i would stay away. all of amore pacifics products are very perfumed so i guess i will have to stay away sadly.

I've been getting into this line piece by piece. And, this cleansing oil is a great addition to my regimen! I am a long time Shu Uemura oil user. So, I had high expectations. It is a wonderful cleanser, gets all of the dirt and grime yet leaves your skin so soft. My dry skin loves it! And a great smell. My only gripe would be the price, but it lasts so long I can live with it.
