SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil has a watery texture that removes makeup, including waterproof mascara, without leaving a greasy residue. Professional makeup artist CYoung calls it a great beginner oil cleanser, while board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jenny Liu confirms it's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, and non-irritating around the eyes. Several creators note it's gentle, effective, and doesn't break them out, though the thin formula means you may use more product than expected.
