Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil
This is one of Amazons best selling oil cleansers, and I was drawn in because of its $9 price tag. This is rated one of the best and affordable drugstore cleansers in Japan. After reading raving reviews on the website, I was ultimately let down with this cleansers performance.
On a positive note, this oil cleanser is on the thicker side of the oils I’ve used, which makes it feel nourishing to the skin. It’s quite a luxurious experience taking the time to rub this into the skin, most likely as a result of the Rice bran oil and Jojoba seed oil in here.
This emulsifies beautifully, because there’s nothing worse than feeling leftover residue on your skin. I use this before I hop in the shower and as I rinse it off I can see the water turning white as it removes the oil along with all the gunk that has been sitting in my pores all day.
1. This stuff will not remove my waterproof mascara. I can feel myself tugging really hard around my eye area to the point where I feel like it’s giving me premature wrinkles 😅 I don’t know how well this works in a full face on makeup, but it does do a good job of taking off tinted moisturizers and tinted SPF’s with the double cleanse method.
2. When the oil accidentally gets in my eye, I go completely blind. There are a few oils that do this, but there are also some that don’t. Unfortunately, this is one of those oils I have to work with really quickly otherwise it starts to irritate and burn my eyes.
3. This is fragranced with orange oil, but the scent isn’t heavy. Because it isn’t heavy, it doesn’t really smell like orange to me and it’s kind of bothersome. The formula doesn’t really need the “benefit” of this nonsense smell.
4. The second ingredient in here is mineral oil. This is quite a cheap ingredient and is meant to provide emollient benefits to the skin so it feels smoother and softer. I would rather have literally any other oil in replacement of mineral oil, such as argon oil, grape seed oil, or rose hip oil, which are said to provide actual benefits to the skin.
