This product is good, but not great.

Irritating
I don't have sensitive skin at all, but this oil irritated the skin around my eyes. It was too painful to continue so I quickly washed it off and used my HG oil, which is gentle. I can't say I recommend this because I couldn't even get past the burning to see if it removed my eye makeup.
Silky not oily
This takes off make up for nicely for me. Smells wonder too and not greasy or oily

Disappointed. loved the older version, this one is so so. Did not remove most of my make up which was just mascara and eye shadow. tried twice then used a different product.
Terrible

PLEASE bring back Origins' "Clean Energy" water soluble cleansing oil. Why would your company discontinue a product which was non-irritating, cleaned beautifully, and smelled delicious? Why??? I don't use the tube of "Checks and Balances" cleanser because it irritates my skin, and this oil version is not any better. PLEASE bring back "Clean Energy".
It's ok

It's not as good as Origin's earlier oil based cleansers.
