Review: MAC Cleanse Off Oil



This is a review for the MAC Cleanse Off Oil 


MAC Cleanse Off Oil



MAC Cleanse Off Oil instructions


There is something that I really like about this product, but also something I really do not like 

I bought this as an alternative to baby oil, which is what I usually use to remove my eye makeup

This is how I use the MAC Cleanse Off Oil: I dispense 2-3 pumps of product into my hand, massage the oil onto my dry face and eye lid area, then I rinse the product off with water


What I like about the MAC Cleanse Off Oil is that 
  1. It removes all traces of heavy makeup - just like baby oil does
  2. Even though this is an oil based remover, I do not need a cleanser at all to wash the oil off my face. Water alone completely gets the oil off my face. This is what really surprised me since with baby oil, I always need to wash my face with cleanser to get rid of the oil slick. And this is the one thing I really like and find unique to this product

However, what I don't like about the MAC Cleanse Off Oil is that no matter how tightly I close my eyes while removing eye makeup with this, the product gets into my eyes and it creates a kind of hazy effect even after I wash my face with water. I'll open my eyes after rinsing well with water and everything I see is very hazy. It doesn't sting my eyes at all, but I don't like how the product seeps into my eyes and causes that effect. The haziness goes away after a few minutes....but I have not had this problem even with baby oil. It's really strange and for that reason, I will not be repurchasing this makeup remover again

That being said, I can see this product working well for someone that does not wear eye makeup and/or only uses this product to remove face/lip makeup. But it's too tedious for me to use more than one makeup remover as I always wear eye makeup if I have makeup on.



Have you tried any MAC skincare products before? 

What makeup remover do you use?
