Revolution Skincare’s Mood Calming Cleansing Oil

There is nothing nicer than having clean skin. Fresh, dirt, grime free, perfect blank canvas to add anything on top of it e.g skincare products or/and make-up. There are so many different textures of cleansers on the market, we are all spoilt for choice. I love textures such as balms and oils. So I’m not surprised I bought Revolution Skincare’s Mood Calming Cleansing Oil. At the time of purchase this was on sale on their website for £5.60, usual price £8.00 for 140ml.

Why did I buy this?

I tend to find that if I want to get to the base of a skincare problem my best starting point is looking at what I’m washing my face with. I felt my previous cleanser could have been more hard working when it came to cleaning my skin, and I knew I was suffering from stress. Stress can manifest itself in many ways on the face, in the form of spots, lines and overall tiredness. This cleansing oil is something I’ve had my eye on for awhile. I felt my skin could benefit in using this, so when it was on for a sale price it seemed the perfect opportunity to buy and try.

What is this supposed to do?

This is a cleansing oil that’s designed to soothe stressed skin without stripping it of moisture, by being gentle and effective in its cleansing action.

Packaging

140ml of cleaning oil in a pump dispenser glass bottle. It looks very smart, simple in style but very appealing with a basic looking label.

Fragrance

Its not fragrance free as it has a scent to it. The fragrance though isn’t obvious or strong but very light. It doesn’t belong to a particular fragrance family, but it’s a scent that isn’t offensive. There’s a hint of a sweet floral base to it but it’s exceptionally delicate.

Consistency

As the name suggests this is an oil. Typical oil texture but not thick as its easy to pump out and is very fluid. Pretty much the same thickness as most facial oils on the market.

In use

I used two pumps of this on dry skin. The oil itself was so satisfying to rub over my face as it glided over it effortlessly. It didn’t sink in and stayed on the surface, which meant I could either spend 5 seconds cleansing or even 5 minutes. This made mince meat out of my eyebrow pencil, which previous cleansers had struggled to remove despite the product not being special e.g being waterproof or semi permanent. Once finished, I rinsed it off with warm water, which was very easy to do. Purely out of habit I wiped my face with a damp muslin cloth to make sure my face was oil free. How effective this is on heavy make-up I can’t comment as I don’t wear make-up, except as mentioned my trusty eyebrow pencil which I would die without!

Skin afterwards

In look and feel my skin was clean, fresh, felt hydrated and not stripped of any natural oils but very importantly didn’t look or feel oily. Lots of people are scared of using oily products on their skin thinking it could prove to be problematic and actually create greasy skin, but not the case with this product.

One week later

I’ve noticed that my skin does appear to be behaving itself and looks as if its in a better condition, smoother in fact, compared to how it was before. My facial routine hadn’t changed except for using this as a cleanser so I’m confident that this product has been helping regulate my skin.

Recommended?

As a general cleanser definitely! If you love your oils and balms to cleanse with or slip into your daily routine as a treatment then this is a must! It cleans the skins, it doesn’t dry it out and its really easy and quick to use and quite enjoyable to apply. My only wish is I would really love this to be available in not only a bigger size ( at least double for home use ), and a smaller size ( 50/60ml ) for travel. Definitely an affordable everyday skincare product that won’t break the bank. What also makes this a great product to own is there is a matching face cream and mask so you can have a complete routine at your fingertips.
