Ingredients:
cetyl ethylhexanoate, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, bisabolol, oenocarpus bataua fruit oil, bertholletia excelsa seed oil, plukenetia volubilis seed oil, crambe abyssinica seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, solanum lycopersicum (tomato) fruit extract, pongamia pinnata (karanja) seed oil, squalane, ethylhexyl stearate, tocopherol, phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin.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...
- Didn't like the chemical smell in the beginning, but now that bottle has been in use/open for a while can't smell it much anymore
- Also I am so used to pumps with oils that I found it very inconvenient to always pick up the bottle and squirt
- I feel like the bottle mechanism to open and close doesn't work really well and I find it leaks
+ My skin seems to like this one, next day after using my skin looks/feels somehow better (compared to The Ordinary's Squalane Cleanser for example and some others). I don't know why though!
+ Removes makeup easily, just need to use enough product
+ I was able to massage my skin and get grits, but I think some thicker oil is better for that (so that it doesn't start to absorb to skin at all).
+ No irritation, no breakouts.
+ Washes off quite clean, even though it doesn't seem to emulsify the same way (as white milk) as some other oily things - it just washes off and disappears
+ Doesn't dry my skin, doesn't leave it oily
Thoughts:
- Very thin, watery feeling dry oil type, sometimes I feel like it just absorbs into my skin! But I just had to use more product to be able to massage again.

* I have used Hylamide's High Efficiency Face Cleaner only on dry skin with sunscreen or makeup, not on wet skin like Deciem says you can also do. I have read complaints that it doesn't always work for wet skin however.
* They also say: "Unlike traditional oil cleaners, this advanced micro-emulsion does not require using a towel or mitt to clean the face as it rinses off efficiently with water in a single step." Well, I haven't used traditional oil cleaners, just emulsifying oils. I am not sure if Deciem also means that you don't have to use a second cleanser afterwards High Efficiency Face Cleaner, but I always do, as my skin doesn't feel "right" without.
Price:
18 € / 120 ml
Bought from:
Deciem website
Buy again?
Maybe.
Worth the money?
Yes, at least if you wait for the hopefully every year November sale, -23 % that would bring the price down to 14 €. There is nothing revolutionary about Hylamide's High-Efficiency Face Cleaner to me and it is not the best at removing clogs or for massaging the face and the scent is a bit chemical (so not a huge enjoyment but also not bad) and you might have to use quite a lot for dry skin to stop it from absorbing too much, also maybe you get irritated by the bottle design but... I am willing to forgive because the product itself just works so well for my skin and it is so easy to wash off without clear residue!
