DHC Travel Size Deep Cleansing Oil 3-stars Reviews
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.
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.
Usually great but not my last order
I have been using the deep cleansing oil for literally 10+ years but the last bottle I ordered I didn't need to open right away as I had another bottle left over. As the review below, I am experiencing a rancid "bad" olive oil smell with this bottle. I guess in the past I always opened and used the bottle right away. I did store it closed in the box in my bathroom medicine cabinet, maybe that is too warm an area to store it? Just an FYI to DHC. I am using the bottle with no ill effects. Just makes me hesitant to order any more that I will not open right away. Thank you.
