DHC Travel Size Deep Cleansing Oil Reviews

The Best

I received a sample from DNC of the Deep Cleansing Oil and was really happy with how fast my eye make dissolved without having to rub hard under my eyes and eye lids to get rid of my mascara. I had been looking for a item that I could use and stop purchasing the make-up remover cleaning clothes, they never took all the mascara off and I would have apply eye make-up remover as well. This is it for me, I use it as soon as I come home from work to remove my face and eye make-up. My skins feels clean and fresh, I never have to rub. I usually only need 1 pump from the dispenser, smooth gently over my face, eyes and eye lids then rinse completely with cool water, followed by washing my with my face cleanser. What a amazing product. I have no irritation, have used this product for over a year now - Will never use anything else.

I have been using this for 20+ years!

I take skincare seriously. this was the first product I ever used that made me this way. I have combination skin: Dry parts, and oily parts... and sensitive skin too. This is so good at balancing my skin, the dry parts are less dry and the oily parts stop being oily. Now that I am middle-aged, it's mostly dry... and this melts away my CC cream and eye makeup every night. I always follow up with a mild soap afterwards, and then my skincare treatments. But this is my "foundation" of my entire routine. Could not be without it.

Quick One Step Cleanser

I have been using this cleanser for several years. I continue to order because it is an easy one step cleanser that removes even the most stubborn mascara. It does not leave my face feeling or looking greasy, just completely clean. I like the ease of use, the delivery of the product and the fact that the cost doesn't break the bank. It is worth what I pay and more. I will continue to order it because it is a tried and true cleanser. I would recommend it to anyone. I have combination skin---oily t-zone.

Best cleanser for all skin types

I have been using the deep cleansing oil for 2 years now and this has greatly improved my skin. Over the past several years, my skin has changed from having oily skin for most of my life, to now a more combination and sensitive type. Before I started using the oil cleanser, I was using all different brands of cleansers and these did not help my face. I would have breakouts and avoid any product with oil because my face was already oily. I read all the good reviews for the oil cleanser, so I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, my face started clearing up quickly while using the cleanser and my face was no longer oily by the end of day. Now, my face is very clear and I don't have breakouts anymore. Also, my face isn't oily like how it used to be years ago. The cleanser doesn't dry out my skin at all and after washing my face, my face feels clean. The cleanser lasts a long time also, I only use 1 or 2 small pumps each night and the larger bottle lasts me like half a year. I highly recommend!

I hope to always buy this

I was skeptical about cleansing oils in general. My skin is oily combination, and I didn't want to risk breakouts. That said, I also know that cleansing oils can remove a lot more makeup than cleansers alone, so I gave it a shot. This is probably my favorite product of everything I own right now. I use it morning and night. In the morning, it dissolves my overnight treatments before I use my cleanser. At night, it melts my makeup (including waterproof mascara) so my cleanser works better. I love that it dissolves everything on my face, but then plain water breaks it down and rinses it away.

Hydrating and easy wash off

I use 2 pumps of this cleansing oil. I warm it up in my hands before rubbing it on my (dry) face. I massage my face for a little more than a minute and wash it off with warm water and then proceed to my next cleanse. I don't wear make up but I do use products that need to be taken off. After using this product for a week and a half I've noticed a difference with my skins hydration. This isn't oil that clings to the face. It washes off nicely while still feeling hydrated. I will be purchasing a bigger bottle once this is out.

This product is INSANE!

Oh. Em. Gee. (omg)

I don't care to write reviews because I feel I usually just go with whatever minimally works but this product exceeded my expectations. I was starting to care about how I removed my eye make up so I wanted something that wouldn't require too much rubbing. Recently learned makeup wipes are bad for dry skin (I've got combination skin), so it made sense to start trying other alternatives for my whole face. Let me TELL YOU! This was the first "alternative" I used, and I'm most likely never using anything else again lol 2 pumps is enough for you whole face! I rubbed my face for LESS than 30 seconds and all the product was off! Of course, you have to wash the oil off with water and then a second face wash but that's not a problem for me. Also, doesn't break out skin because it's washed off with a second face wash, but formula also feels sensitive.

SO!

Looking for something to quickly and safely take off your make up then this is PERFECT.

Looking for a product that gives you less of a step to use, I'd say skip it.

Magic!

After having my first child 2 years ago, and nursing for 18 months, my skin became SUPER SENSITIVE even to "the best" expensive cleanser/oil/moisturizer/serum. I've tried them all! My MIL has been using DHC for years, her skin looks great, and encouraged me to use some of her product during a visit. Y'all, GAME CHANGER! My skin has never felt or looked better. I've been able to give up makeup completley, my skin is hydrated, and I will only ever use DHC Products on my face ever again. If you're feeling hopeless about skin texture, dryness, or sensitivity after baby, I urge you to give this brand a try. A little goes a long way and your skin will thank you for it!

Love It!

I have been using DHC's DeepCleansing Oil for over 13 years; ever since I first tried it. It is wonderful. Make-up, including all eye makeup, easily dissolves and wipes away, leaving your skin soft and not dry at all. I squirt some in my hands, rub it all over my face, then wet my hands and "wash" my face bit more. Then a wet washcloth and your make-up is gone!

I had normal skin when I first started using it and now my skin (and the climate I live in) is dry. I don't know how it would work on oily skin.

Money well spent

I go on long walks every day and I wear mineral sunscreen, which is a headache to remove from my face. I got this oil because I'd read that an oil based product would remove the mineral sunscreen. I am very happy with the results. I've not attempted to use the oil to remove make up. I do immediately wash my face with a foaming cleanser after using the oil. I've had issues with acne in the past so I always make sure to use a second cleanser after using the DHC, just in case. So far, no problems. It does have a bit of an olive oil scent when you apply it but that's pretty much gone after you rinse off the oil.

People are using this wrong!

I've been using this product for months! It works well to take off makeup. You are supposed to use it on dry skin with dry hands. Take off makeup with warm water and THEN follow up with another cleanser!! Japanese culture uses double cleanser techniques to penetrate the skin. I use the face wash powder by same company right after oil cleansing. My skin feels nice , not oily and doesn't leave any weird smells I've seen people comment on. My skin breaks out quickly, but if you use this correctly you won't have breakouts. I will always recommend this brand. Their eye cream is amazing too.

First Wash

Okay, I just bought this during the big sale. I received it a couple days ago and was not impressed. I thought it would be a bit of a thicker substance but this has the consistency of like cooking oil. It's two or three pumps and boom all done. I literally used this once in my shower and have always struggled with blackheads on my nose, when I say I came out of the shower and more than half were gone, I'm saying I'm literally so IMPRESSED! I have tried everything, Cliniques wash and blackhead exfoliator, Estée Lauder, cerave, I have tried almost everything and I have found my holy grail. Where my struggle area is, my pores are small and almost nothing gets it clean. This did it on the first day and I'm shocked. I will pay full price if this completely cleans my nose! I highly recommend this product!

A solid like!

This takes makeup off FAST. I was in a hurry the other day and needed to remove makeup without water, and this did the trick! My face felt soft and non-irritated, which is wonderful since I'm dealing with an eczema flare-up. Yes you can use coconut oil for the same thing but this product doesn't leave me feeling greasy like straight coconut oil does, nor does it have a lingering scent. It'll take off waterproof mascara as well. I bought the travel size just for a trial and I think I might be sold on the bigger size once this bottle runs out!

The best.

I have been using DHC for 20 years and my skin continues to benefit from the products. It initially helped me get oil under control and shrink the huge pores I had, but ongoing, the products have helped keep wrinkles at bay, skin clean and soft, and can't remember the last time I broke out. But these products are 'a little goes a long way' kind of products. I use it as part of the set, and the Japanese have believed in double cleaning for a while. I follow up the deep cleaning oil with their face soap, toner, and tea, even the olive oil moisturizer that YOU LEAVE ON. A couple pumps is all you need of any DHC oil product, but the deep cleansing oil is meant to be washed off with their soap. It all works together and it's AMAZING.the products do seem quite pricey, but they last months when used properly. I will never NOT have DHC.

great product!

this is a great product if you use it correctly. theres so many negative comments about this cleanser "breaking them out" or "being too oily." this is an oil cleanser, it's going to be oily. this I'd meant as step one in a 2 step cleansing routine. you use this first to break down the makeup and sunscreen on your face, then use a normal cleanser (one with active ingredients or a hydrating one) to wash your face. this should not be used as the only cleanser in your routine or you will break out! and oil cleaner is oil and meant to be oily. oil cleansers dont have active ingredients like aha/bha to combat acne. this product is so smooth and makes my skin feel so soft before I go in with my 2nd cleanser. you will love this if you use it properly and go in with normal expectations!

Average Product; Overpriced

I bought this product to get me through a short patch where I didn't have my normal cleansers. Upon using this ingredient the first time my first impression was that I was slathering olive oil all over my face. This was indicated by everything from the texture, color and especially the scent. I checked the ingredients (which I should have done before purchasing) and sure enough it's basically just olive oil. It has binders, preservatives and an ingredient that helps it bind to other oils and remove them to make it a suitable cleanser. If you're just looking for a gentle first-step cleanser to remove makeup and sebum this would be a great product for you! If you, like me, struggle with acne and need ingredients like AHA/BHAs to help you fight it this is not an ideal product. All-in-all the product is fine but I used 1/2 the bottle in the span of a week and for how simple the product is and how little you get I can't justify the price point.

Incredible

I was hesitant to make the switch from wipes to cleansing oil as nearly every cleansing balm/ oil type product has made me break out. I don't know why I hadn't heard of this one yet but I'm so glad I found it. It makes cleansing my skin such a breeze. I genuinely look forward to my night routine after a long day. On top of using this as a makeup remover, I also use it on no makeup days to help break down my moisturizer before cleansing. It's important to note that this isn't a one step cleanse and go. You need to follow up with your regular cleanser to get maximum results. I can't recommend this enough. I'm so happy I can finally stop using wasteful wipes!!!

Dupe or Fake

DHC is a Japanese company and as for someone who discovered this product originally in Japan and purchased first time in Japan, this is not a genuine product at all.

First, the consistency is so watery that you will require 3 pumps just to remove the make-up on your skin while the original will require only one and has thicker formula.

Second, after 3 pumps it will remove the foundation on your face but not your mascara and eye liner which is not true for a genuine DHC product. I finished 2 big bottles before and did not encounter problems like this one.

Made me Breakout

At first I heard that this product was amazing and that I should 100% use it. I don't normally use much makeup, but it thought that I might as well try it since people said it helps clear your skin and all that. At first I definitely felt all the plugs in my pores coming out. I got really excited! Was this the product that would finally clear up my skin? I tried it for a month, but for some reason I started to break out on my cheeks for the first time ever! My forehead and nose are the only places that have ever had acne before.. So why was there something on my cheeks!? I tried to ignore it and continued using it, but it kept getting worse on my cheeks. I thought about all the reasons that this could've happened. Maybe it was my diet? I'm a pescatarian and I've been like that for many years. I made no changes in the way I ate. So I knew it had to be this oil cleanser.

As of now, I still have cheek acne all thanks to this product. Sure it does its job with the removing makeup, but it most definitely didn't help with my skin condition.

If you have oily skin, then don't try this product. It's not worth it especially if you already have acne.

I might be spoiled

The first cleansing oil I ever used was Tatcha's Cleansing Oil. It's amazing. I've often searched for a cheaper alternative, but rarely have found an oil that will clean every ounce of makeup off of your face while leaving feeling absolutely even after the 2nd cleanse. This one was okay, but it didn't do all I know a cleansing can do. It's not as bad as Dermalogica's Cleansing oil which leaves your skin oily and not even close to clean, but if I'm reaching for this price point, I'd rather use Clinique's Take The Day off, because it actually does remove all makeup, including mascara and eyeliner.
