The Face Shop Rice Cleansing Oil 150 ml Review


Ingredients:


Isopropyl Myristate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Polyglyceryl-10, Diisostearate, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Water/Eau, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract, Parfum/Fragrance, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool

I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...



Thoughts:

Stings and irritates my eyes so badly

Highly fragranced, not pleasant

Difficult to wash off, takes a lot of time: when water is applied, no matter the amount, it sticks to the skin

- It is a must to use another cleanser after this oil, because it just won't budge and leaves residue!

- Doesn't emulsify beautifully or fast

I'm not sure if this cleansing oil is breaking me out a little too, but if it is it's very minor

- The bottle design is bad, it squirts the product everywhere, you have to be careful with it

- I didn't get any grits while massaging



Nice liquidy consistency straight out from the bottle, the slip on the face while massaging is great, no need to tug your skin or use a huge amount of oil

Price point is good

Oil lasts long because you don't need very much of it (1-2 pumps)

Well, the pink bottle and liquid look very attractive



* I think if  The Face Shop's Rice Cleansing Oil would've been my first cleansing oil experiment it also would've been the last and only one

I just can't wrap my head around the hype about this product, why is it so popular everywhere? There's nothing good about it except the slip?

Tosowoong's Apricot Cleansing Oil is superior compared to Rice Cleansing Oil: it smells nice, doesn't irritate eyes, emulsifies fast and easy, doesn't leave residue, is just as affordable

But for actually cleansing the skin in the end, The Face Shop and Tosowoong are similar and okay, not that good for eye make-up I would say

I suppose rice water/extract has some brightening results for some people but I don't think I'm one of them

I have used maybe 1/5 of the bottle and still just dislike it everyday

I made everything sound like it's a terrible product and doesn't work for anyone but you know, it's not unusable and doesn't wreak a havoc on my skin so that's quite well already (for someone with problem skin)



Price: 

USD 10.18

Bought from: 

Jolse

Buy again? 

Absolutely not. I'm trying to figure out if I suffer through the whole bottle or if I can give it to someone!

Worth the money? 

Sadly, even with the low price, I don't think so as it's so unpleasant to use. It does last a long time and is maybe worth a try if you're just interested in trying different things. I would not recommend it for a sensitive skin though.
