Natural Instinct Skin Refining Cleansing Oil Reviews

This one wasn't a winner for me unfortunately. At first glance it appeared to have done a good job of removing makeup thoroughly. I'm quite new to the cleansing oil game so when I try each new brand, I follow it up with a makeup wipe to see if any traces of makeup can be detected - unfortunately there was still some bb cream residue left over. I don't have time to muck around with multiple products to get the job done so I wouldn't buy again. Maybe it would be ok as a pre cleanse or for those who don't wear makeup.

Great product removed makeup with ease. Soothing to my skin , basic but natural ingredients. Sensitive skin safe. A real bargain with maximum effort from this oil. I will buy again for sure.

I love this cleanser. I have been using it for 3 years now and cant use anything else. It leaves my skin feeling so clean and soft but not oily. Great for taking makeup off too, I highly recommend this product.

I am a big fan of using an oil cleanser and used this bottle up in record time after getting it in the beauty vault.

I found while I was using it that impurities and blocked pores were at a minimum and that it was an excellent make up remover.

Since I finished it, I haven't had an oil on hand and I've noticed my skin has had more pore blockages than usual, which could be a coincidence, but is interesting to observe nonetheless.

I also used the cleansing oil just like any other oil on any irritated skin and that worked fine as well.

I was lucky enough to get this from the beauty vault and I must say I love it . On arrival the bottle was oily on the outside which idk if there was much that could’ve prevented that or if it was like a packaging fault ? But I don’t really care . My first impression was that the smell was Devine! I used the oil to remove my makeup and it was very easy and done a great job , to check I wiped my face with a cotton pad and toner and no makeup showed up on the cotton pad like it usually does . It felt amazing to massage into my face. I’m unsure if it emulsified the way it should , this is my first time using an oil cleanser . I always wipe my face with a face cloth so I continued to do that when using this oil.

I received this In the last vault - I’m always keen to try a new oil cleanser. I use a generous amount of this - it says two pumps but I use three or four, for added slip. This easily removes all my makeup. It says it is emulsifying but I don’t really find that it is so is still remove it with a warm flannel. Be careful not to get it on your clothes like I did the first time I enthusiastically pumped it - I haven’t been able to get the oil stain out! It does have quite a strong citrus smell which is pleasant and so far hasn’t upset my stupidly sensitive eyes. This bottle looks like it will last me awhile. I would buy it again as it is easily available in the supermarket, a great price and I love that it comes in a glass bottle.

I am a massive fan of cleansing oils to remove makeup. This product contains numerous oils and is very natural, especially for a supermarket brand. It feels thicker than other cleansing oils I've used, so it definitely leaves behind a slight residue. It easily breaks down and melts of all makeup - foundation, powder, mascara and brow pencil. It has a zesty earthy scent, I assume from the lemon oil, orange oil, and rosemary - which is a great ingredient for brightening the skin. The packaging feels expensive and the pump is nice, distributing the perfect amount of product. All oils it contains have low comedogenic rating and contain individual benefits to the skin.

I got this for a massive bargain so i thought why not. I dont normaly use a oil cleanser this was the first time and i really liked it.

I pumped 2 pumps in my hand and massaged it into my skin. It feld very oily at first but when i rinsed it of everything washed of and there was no need for double cleanse my skin was clean my make up was off and my skin feld very moist.

I have very dry skin and it felt very good after using this it looked and felt healthy and moist.

A full sized 100ml tinted glass bottle of Natural Instinct Skin Refining Cleansing Oil was in a BBBE Box that I bought. Made with six nourishing oils for oil, dry and combination skin, this anti-oxidant natural facial cleansing oil promises to gently cleanse and remove excess sebum and make-up without stripping the skin of all its natural oils.

Natural Instinct Skin Refining Cleansing Oil contains Sweet Almond Oil, Argan Oil, Watermelon Seed Oil, Lemon Peel Oil, Bitter Orange Flower Extract, and Rosemary Leaf Extract. Directions on the bottle say to apply at least two pumps of oil onto dry skin, warming it in your hands before applying. Massage it into the skin to loosen make-up and impurities, before adding a little warm water and turning the oil into a light milky texture, then rinse.

Now, the bottle says that this emulsifies with water, but it does not emulsify completely and leaves the shower floor feeling very slippery when it is used in the shower. I prefer my cleansing oils to emulsify properly and rinse away cleanly, as I don't always have time to pre-cleanse before stepping into the shower.

Yes, it worked well to remove make-up. Yes, it left my skin feeling soft and not stripped, but I did feel I had to use a foaming cleanser after using this otherwise my natural oily skin just felt too greasy. Would I buy more? No, purely because it didn't emulsify enough for my liking (I've used other brands that emulsify more). Would I recommend it? Yes, its a lovely product, it's just not right for me.
