One of the few cleansing oils that remove makeup thoroughly, they have been around for what seems like forever. I wasn’t fond of the earlier formulas because they were of a thicker consistency and took just a bit more effort to remove makeup. However, the new ones are runnier and have an emollience that I really like, plus they take product off very quickly.
Limited edition 100 ml bottles of the Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium AO Advanced Formula and Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium AO Advanced Formula (S$46) are now available.
In addition, the brand is currently offering limited edition 450 ml refills at a 10% discount. The A/O and brightening ones are S$139, while the fresh and classic ones are S$125 – I believe these are their pre-discount prices. Do note that the pumps from the 150 ml cleansing oil bottles can be used with the refills. ;)
