Epicutis Oil Cleanser

I purchased this in the set but I had to also leave a review here because this cleansing oil is my favorite thing ever. I typically don't like oil cleansers bc they don't cleanse well and don't rinse off well. This one does!! Really helps with blackheads and oily skin too. I noticed another reviewer found this irritated her eyes but I have never experienced that and I have very sensitive eyes. It removes mascara and makeup easily too. I have been using it daily for over 3 months and am barely half way through the bottle!

I'm torn on how to rate this product. On the positive side, I really, really like it (and wish that I could use it). It feels wonderful on my skin, and I absolutely love how effective it is a removing makeup (especially eye makeup) as a first cleanse.

That being said, it irritates my eyes to such a degree that, for me, it is unusable. It doesn't cause me instant irritation, but every single time I've tried using it, my eyes tear excessively for ~24 hours. We're talking 24 hours of tears running down my face that no allergy pills can subside. I tested all my other products and replaced old makeup just to be sure, and my eyes only behave this way the days after I include this cleanser in my routine. (In hindsight, it sort of tracks. I was using Michelle Corley's pore cleansing oil as a first wash for a stretch. My eyes watered so much while using that product that I had to see my optometrist (who had to prescribe a steroid eye drop to calm the inflammation on my eyeballs. My eyes got better and unrelatedly, shortly thereafter, I switched up my routine and stopped using an oil cleanser. It's been over a year, and my eyes have been fine...until I tried this product. Given that it has happened with both oil cleansers, I have to imagine it's not a coincidence. ) I wish it weren't the case: I really wish I could use this beautiful product.
