Debut of
cleansing oil
while working as a makeup artist in hollywood in the late 1950's, Shu Uemura discovered Unmask, an oil-based cleanser used by film stars and makeup artists on the set. Applying heavy stage makeup multiple times daily, actresses often developed sensitive skin from harsh make-up removers. Uemura saw that the cleansing oil removed make-up gently, yet effectively, while maintaining the skin’s natural level of moisture.
The joy of cleaning
the secret to Shu Uemura cleansing oil is protecting the skin's delicate moisture balance while removing makeup and impurities in a single step. Blending rich botanical oils, including avocado and jojoba, with natural phyto ingredients, cleansing oils are formulated in six varieties for perfect, gentle cleansing specific to skin's daily needs. gentle, thorough cleansing is the first step to beautiful skin.
High performance oil system
all of Shu Uemura's cleansing oils are formulated using the unique hpo (high performance oil) system, a complex combination of three moleculary distinct oils that trap the lipophilic residue of stubborn waxes and oils found in waterproof mascara, foundation and lip color. Once emulsified by water, the cleansing oil encapsulates hydrophilic residue, such as dirt and sweat, gently lifting both types of impurities from the pores simultaneously.
Cleansing oil's high affinity to skin allow for a gentle yet effective cleansing without disrupting skin's natural balance.”

My
Experience
Usage
Spread and massage the oil evenly
on the face and neck. Concentrate it on the eye and lip area, add a little bit
of water. It will turn into this milky white emulsion. Massage again then rinse
with water until clean.
Texture
Thick rich oil from the
bottle. After I add a little water, it turns into this watery milky emulsion.
Pros
- The pump dispenses a perfect amount of oil. Depends on the makeup I wear that day, I usually use 2 pumps.
- I can also twist the pump to lock it and it safe to go travel with me.
- This oil is by far the best makeup remover I have ever tried. It dissolves waterproof eye makeup, long wearing lipstick, and heavy foundation easily. I don’t need any other cleanser or makeup remover.
- It leaves my skin very clean and fresh. Even though this comes in an oil form, it doesn’t clog my pores or break me out.
- I see improvement on my skin after several times using it. It gives my skin a nice healthy glow.
- My skin also feels very soft after using it
Cons
- This product is very expensive. It cost me Rp 1.200.000,- (around USD 110) for 450 ml.
- On some days, it gives me dry tight feeling. Not really bad though, put a little moisturizer and the problems gone.
- Sometimes it stings my eyes.
Neutral
- This product has a light floral smell. I prefer my facial skincare doesn’t have any fragrance, but the smell of this product doesn’t really bothering me.
- Overall I recommend it to everyone especially a person who uses a lot of makeup. If I run out I will definitely buy again, I might try another type though, the green and pink one seems promising. I genuinely love this product.
Where
to buy
Got it for Rp 1.200.000,- at Shu Uemura counter at Glow
Living Beauty, Plaza Indonesia.
