Have you tried the Centella Madagascar Cleansing Oil yet?

I was at Costco and began looking for a replacement makeup remover to the brand Versed, which I usually get a Target (due to my not shopping at Target, it was onto a new adventure). 

Picking up the dual packaging via Costco was such a deal – I believe it was just under $25 for the two bottles. I gave one to my mom and kept one for myself.

What I really like about this product is that the packaging is simple and elevated, so every time you reach for it, you feel like you are having a calming spa experience after a long day.

What I Love About Centella Cleansing Oil

Centella Madagascar Cleansing Oil does an amazing job of loosening up a full face of makeup and is a great double cleanse partner to my Cetaphil, which I use, directly after I wash the cleansing oil off my face.

No matter what you have on your face, whether that be sunscreen, skincare from the night before, or makeup – it loosens up any lingering product so that when you do your full cleanse, nothing is left on your skin.

It also doesn’t leave a burning or stripped barrier sensation on the skin. 

As a cleanser, it genuinely feels very calming, cooling, and gentle. 

This product is also non-comedogenic and does a great job of releasing whiteheads (if you leave it on for a few minutes before washing off) and generally claims to “dissolve excess sebum.”

Who is This Product For?

Centella Madagascar Cleansing Oil covers all skin types (oily, sensitive, to normal). 

As a product, this has such a great and lightweight feel, and because it has calming, hydrating, and light exfoliating properties, you know your skin is getting a great pre-cleanse. ‘

Not only that, but this product is cruelty-free, free of artificial fragrances, and is a safe product for the environment per the EWG Grade rating. 

It’s definitely not an overly expensive product, but it also isn’t a drugstore price.

Things I Noticed When Using the Cleansing Oil

If I wanted to double cleanse with this product, I absolutely could.

As a cleanser, this reminds me of a product for the people who just slap water on their face as they start their day.

I think it offers something for everyone if I am going to be honest.

I think my skin reacted well to it, and I did not have any issues. However, this is pretty standard for me, so please test the product out on your skin before using it.

My #1 Tip

When I want to experience a deeper clean, I do let it sit on my skin until it’s dry. Afterward, I go wash it off and can usually see some grossness lifted from my pores.

I know that sounds so disgusting, but it is honestly such a gentle way to loosen up anything that needs to be let go within the pores. 

I do love that aspect of it. 

My Recap

To compare this to a cleansing balm would be a mistake.

This is 100% a cleansing oil and feels completely different.

Where a cleansing balm leaves a comforting cast of slide and thickness, this oil lays like water and allows the makeup, sunscreen, and skincare to slosh at a layer above the skin.

They say to add this cleansing oil and then mix in water — I say, yeah. Do that.

So, if you were on the fence about this cleansing oil, or were in the market for a new cleansing oil — I do highly recommend this Centella Cleansing Oil.
