Trust me to slip into my wallet and spill my pennies for ANOTHER cleansing oil! The breaking point in my decision to get this was all down to 2 things:
One
No sign of my stubborn old enemy; mineral oil.
Two

The DHC website proclaims that this oil is “shower friendly”.
If only you could have seen the glee stretch across my face upon reading this.
What the website actually says:
What the website actually says:
Cleanse and hydrate your complexion with our shower-friendly makeup remover that utilizes moisturizing amino-acid based emollients to gently wash away cosmetics, dirt and environmental pollutants. Contains beneficial antioxidants to help purify skin and encourage softness.
First impressions:
Have a butchers at the pretty pump bottle! I love it! Now about this OIL business. Is this really an oil? This stuff has a very interesting consistency and texture. In my “humble yet I have tried A LOT of cleansing oils” opinion it is somewhere between a thick oil and a gel serum type thing with minimal grease. It is a challenge to describe in fact.
Why I like it:
It does good job (not perfect, but good) at taking off a full face of make up when used in the usual cleansing oil mode.
No greasiness at all after rinsing, I still had a little mascara smudge but nothing to scream “BIN IT” over.
It works even better in the shower! It really does. Nil mascara leftovers here.I have to say, I am truly impressed by the DHC Mild Touch Oil and I would certainly repurchase if it were readily available. I think it is well worth its tinier than most price tag.
The Bad Bits:
The only negative I have is that I cannot get it in a UK shop, I have to order online.A slight iffy thing about this is the scent. I cant place it! It smells strange. Before I put you off trying it for yourself, it is not a major issue. It is a very slight whiff but strange none the less. Either way it would certainly NOT put me off buying this again.
The Ingredients List:
cetyl ethylhexanoate, ethylhexyl palmitate, polyglyceryl-10 dioleate, water/aqua/eau, isononyl isononanoate, polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate, glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate, dextrin palmitate/ethylhexanoate, phytosteryl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate, phenoxyethanol, sodium dilauramidoglutamide lysine, moringa pterygosperma seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, tocopherol, dequalinium chloride, epigallocatechin gallate, linalool

Imomoko, Ebay and Bobodave for UK buyers. I think you can grab this at the DHC online shop in USA and I believe it is widely available in Asia.
