Hada Labo SHA Moisturizing Cleansing Oil Review

WHAT IS IT: Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Oil

THE PRODUCT(S):

Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Oil: Formulated with High Purity Olive Oil to instantly remove heavy makeup and water-proof mascara, gentle to your delicate eyes & eyelashes. Deeply cleanses to gently remove dirt and excess oil while enhanced with Super Hyaluronic Acid to intensely hydrate and maintain skin's moisture balance leaving skin feeling smooth & soft. Water-soluble and does not leave unpleasant greasy feeling and yet free of fragrance, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant.

Here's how the cleansing oil looks like on my skin.

It actually "melts" off my water-proof eyeliner very easily when gently rubbed into my skin.

And not a speck of eyeliner left on my skin after gentle rubbing of the cleansing oil into my skin.

VERDICT: I personally love the scent of this Hada Labo SHA Moisturizing Cleansing Oil as it is a really gentle and nice scent that doesn't make you feel nauseous, especially since it's meant for removing traces of make-up on your face. Back during my younger school days, I was really put off with applying cosmetics on my face as I've personally tried to look for makeup removers that doesn't smell too strong, unusual or awkward to the point where I felt this slight headache-like pain as soon as I sniff the product itself. So, I am glad that Hada Labo's version actually smells really light and gentle to the nose.

Despite the product packaging claiming that it contains High Purity Olive Oil, I personally found that the texture of the product itself is just a really really light clear yellowish color. It almost looks like those beautifying or skin oil that you can apply on your skin. It felt really smooth when I applied it to my skin, making massaging it into the makeup on my skin much more easier and gentler to remove than usual, you can almost liken to using a regular facial cleanser on your face. And it doesn't even feel oily nor greasy as well, despite the presence of olive oil in the product itself.

Normally, I avoid applying sunscreen on my face for as much as possible as initial application leaves my face feeling as if I've purposely applied something onto it, before slowly fading away. And when it's time to wash my face, I found that my face feel like there's some sort of leftover residue left behind, despite cleansing my face properly at the end of the day. But when I used this Hada Labo SHA Moisturizing Cleansing Oil, it actually leaves my skin feeling cleansed, and yet not overly squeaky clean to the point where the natural moisture on my face has been stripped off too.

And even hours after using this to remove makeup and/or sunscreen, my face doesn't feel too overly oily nor greasy at all, it feels almost like I've only used my regular facial cleanser to cleanse my face. And because the consistency of this Hada Labo SHA Moisturizing Cleansing Oil is more towards watery and runny instead of oily and thick, it definitely makes facial cleansing fuss free, hassle free and pain free to the max.

VERDICT: ✓✓✓

WHAT I THINK: Soft gentle scent, texture and consistency makes using this feels like I'm actually massaging my face/skin free of makeup and sunscreen.
