Claims:

My experience with the product:

Packaging: iUNIK calendula complete cleansing oil comes in a sleek plastic bottle with pump packaging. Definitely NOT travel-friendly. The packaging looks pretty but the oil leaks from the sides when pumped, that's something I don't like.  

Colour and texture: iUNIK calendula complete cleansing oil has lightweight oil texture, not very viscous (not very thick), it has diluted oil formulation. It has a light yellow color, which is from natural oils. Hence, no added color.

Fragrance: iUNIK Calendula complete cleansing oil has a very mild fragrance of natural oils. There is no added fragrance, hence suits sensitive skin types as well.

Who is this for?  If you want to remove your makeup gently and thoroughly. It is a great option for those who feel their skin gets dry after cleansing because this cleansing oil has plant oils that cleanse and nourishes the skin without drying it out. Definitely go for it if you are looking for an oil cleanser with natural ingredients. 

First impression: The cleansing oil is really lightweight and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The fragrance is mild and soothing. It was easy to massage this cleansing oil on the skin. Effectively removed the sunscreen without irritating my skin. Emulsifies well and easily, I prefer using warm water to emulsify the cleansing oil.

How long I have been using it? I have been using it for 2 weeks now, to remove makeup and sunscreen. I use it at the end of the day.

How I like to use it? I like to use the iUNIK complete cleansing oil as a first cleanser to remove my sunscreen/makeup. I take 2-3 pumps of this cleansing oil in my palm and gently massage it on my face until it melts off all the makeup/sunscreen. I like to gently massage the oil on my face for about 5-7 minutes, however, 3-4 minutes is enough. And then I take some warm water and gently massage on my face to emulsify the cleansing oil. And then I  follow it up with a foaming cleanser for the double cleanse. 

Tip: Don't be harsh while massaging the cleansing oil on the skin, it can irritate your skin. And use a gentle foaming cleanser, don't go for a cleanser that will strip off skin's natural oils. This can lead to over-cleansing and your skin can get dehydrated and irritated. 

Effects on my skin: Double cleansing has helped me a lot. I would use micellar water and follow it up with a foaming cleanser, but it takes cotton pads to use micellar water. Hence, I was looking for a cleansing oil or cleansing blam and am glad I found this one. 

It is gentle on the skin, effectively removes sunscreen without irritating and drying out the skin. Cleanses the skin deeply and makes skin softer and clear. My skin feels soft post-cleansing. And with time, I see a noticeable difference in my skin, I see fewer to no breakouts and clear pores.  That's a huge improvement. 

I don't use waterproof makeup so I don't know if it removes that or not, hopefully, it will. But it is very effective in removing light makeup and sunscreen.

What I love the most about this cleansing oil is that it is gentle yet effective. No exaggeration, it cleanses the skin really well and promotes healthy and clear skin. Never irritated my sensitive skin and works well for acne-prone skin.

Do I recommend it?  Yes, I highly recommend it for everyone looking for gentle and effective cleansing oil.
