Human Heart Nature Sunflower Cleansing Oil

One commandment in proper skin care is to remove all traces of make-up before going to sleep. Sometimes, using our facial cleanser isn't enough to remove the make-up we've worn during the day (or a night out), hence the need for a make-up remover. I've been searching for effective make-up removers and cleansing oils have been receiving great reviews. I've tried the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil before and it didn't work out for me (will review it one of these days) and I've recently tried the Human Heart Nature Sunflower Cleansing Oil.

Here's my take on it!

Product Description: (from www.humanheartnature.com)
Take it all off with our premium cleansing oil. It gently erases all traces of makeup, even the most stubborn waterproof mascara! Just apply on your face and wipe off. It works double-time too – whereas most cleansing oils and make-up removers are packed with chemicals that strip your skin, ours is a naturally healthy oil which actually conditions your lashes and nourishes your skin.

How to use:
Massage 2-3 pumps of the Sunflower Cleansing Oil on your face with a gentle circular motion, paying particular attention to areas with hard-to-remove makeup, and the hairline. Use tissue or a warm facial towel to gently wipe away the oil and makeup.

Ingredients:
Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, natural fragrance

I bought my 200 ml. bottle in Rustans Fresh Market in Rockwell for Php 375.00. I thought of giving this product a try since natural products contain less irritating ingredients, and what's best about it is that it only consists of sunflower seed oil and its natural fragrance. It comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a twist, pump cap. You just twist the cap to be able to use the pump and it will pop up.

Unlike other cleansing oils, this one does not emulsify. You put it on your skin as oil, and you take it off as oil. I used it for 3 days and unfortunately, my skin didn't like it as it caused itching and redness (my sensitive skin just reacts to almost anything :( ). I used one pump for my whole face and used a facial tissue to wipe the oil off.

Looking at its ability to take off make-up, I'd give it a 3/5.

I tested it again for you to see. I used my VOV Oligo Eye Liner that I got from Korea; this is really waterproof and hard to remove with facial cleanser alone.

I put a half pump of the cleansing oil on it...

And got a tissue to swipe it off. I swiped it twice...

I finally got the liner off my hand with 5 swipes. (I don't want to wipe my eyes with a tissue so many times using a lot of pressure)

What I like:

• inexpensive, the bottle has a lot of product in it
• few ingredients

What I dislike:

• caused irritation
• doesn't remove waterproof make-up too well

Will I repurchase? No not anymore. It doesn't work for me!
