I've been using the cleansing oils when it was the only product in the market (20+ years ago). Copy cats haven't been able to replicate its effectiveness and quality. It cleans all types of make-up effectively and gently, leaving to our skin soft and supple. No harshness, dryness or residues. It is pricey but the bottle lasts a long time (a year), so on a per wash basis, it is totally worth it!
