...Nature Republic Forest Garden Chamomile Cleansing Oil!
If you're going "Cleansing OIL?!" Read about it in my write up here.
This is a product I got suckered into buying by a sales assistant at Nature Republic when I was looking around for cleansing creams. But true to my buying style, I did not buy it on the spot, but waited a week to think about it and research online. As you can tell, I ended up buying it and am very happy indeed!
I had actually quite made up my mind on buying The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Cleansing Cream as I had read good things about the product and the goodness of rice water, and it is the cleansing cream that one of my Korean cousins uses. However, I doubted myself because the sales assistant at Nature Republic was absolutely raving about it, saying how she and all the other workers used that cleansing oil.
I told the her that I thought cleansing oil was too oily, and very messy. I said, "I don't want it. Please recommend a cleansing cream". She talked a little about the cleansing creams then went back to the cleansing oil again. I said it was expensive (13,000 KRW for the oils instead of 6000 KRW for the cleansing cream), but she said it was worth it. For all I knew, she was pushing the cleansing oil because it was more expensive, but it had a fancy sticker on it that said it won 1st place in some sort of award.
So I went home and researched it. It won the Allure Korea Best of Beauty 2012 award for cleansing oils. A quick search on it led me to only good reviews, and a search in "cleansing cream vs cleansing oil" search, said that cleansing oils are better for make up removal, which is what I needed.
A week later, I went to Nature Republic again, and I was SO thankful that I had waited a week because there was a sale. I got to buy it for 9,100 KRW instead of 13,000! =)
It works wonderfully in removing my BB cream and it even works on my Missha eyeshadow that doesn't budge with anything but eye-make up remover.
Below is a description on the product, how to use it and its ingredients:
May I stress that it is important to put it on a DRY face. Make sure that your hands, face, and hair is dry so that it doesn't mix with the oil when you first put it on. It works best at dissolving your make up when it is just oil. Later, you can add water to emulsify it.
As for the amount you should use, I'm a little alarmed that the descriptions says that an appropriate amount is 2-3 pumps! That is a LOT of oil. Initially, I only used half a pump, and it was quite adequate. I've gotten a little bolder now, and especially when I have more make up on, I use 1 pump.
Don't worry about it being messy. I just pump it into my palm, rub it between my hands then massage my face with it. Very mess free =)
Definitely massage your face with the oil. My absolute favourite thing about this cleansing oil that makes me so in love with it is how it leaves my face feeling like a baby's butt after I wash it off with a foam cleanser. It's AMAZING! It feels like I've just used an absolutely awesome face mask.
Nature Republic has a whole line of cleansing oils that attends to different needs: Chamomile (soothing), Tea Tree (trouble-relief), Olive (moisturizing), Argan (nourishing), and Green Tea (purifying).
I didn't really know which would be best for me. They all don't seem all that different. I picked chamomile since it's the one that won the award, and it's the only one that has a 500ml version. If it's got a supersize version while all the others don't, you know it's got to be the best.
Is Nature Republic's Forest Garden Chamomile Cleansing Oil a holy grail product?
Well, I can't really say because this is the first cleansing oil I've ever used. But I'm totally in love with it because it makes my face feel like a baby's butt! Baby's butt, I say!
