I believe if you don't wear make-up you shouldn't use it. There are other cleansers out there that you could use to treat you're acne and are meant for dry skin. I recommend boscia purifying cleansing gel.

My skin isn't dry, but it is definitely acne-prone if I'm not careful, and I've had absolutely no problems with this. It rinses very clean but doesn't strip the skin.

I have acne prone skin and I don't know if this will "treat" acne but I don't find it causes breakouts. It is a deep cleanser and not over drying so I think perhaps it would help prevent acne as it will help keep your pores clean.

i wouldnt use this if you dont wear makeup. its not used for treating dry skin. if you have acne with dry skin i would try the GO CLEAR line at sephora. ive been using it for about a month and im really liking it. i dont have dry skin but this line is for all types of skin and the cleanser is gentle and hydrating and cleans very well. it doesnt have any acne active ingedients like saliycic acid. the lady at sephora said this GO CLEAR was creaated for people who have dry skin with acne. and also you could look into hyaluronic acid, it hydrates your skin day and night. its attracts moisture or something. i use the peter thomas roth one during the winter.
hope this helps! good luck!

I would find a nother product to use if you're not lokking for a make-up remover. I found it not to be a great cleanser. I would stick with a cleanser from either Murad or Philosophy.

no, this doesn't help with dry skin or acne. It is only helpful if you wear a good amount of makeup as it breaks it up whereas other cleansers can't. It wouldn't hurt dry skin but something else would be much more effective. A creamy, soap-free cleanser. Then use a treatment w/ salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide or glycolic acid for the acne.

Not at all. If u find that you do need a toner is because the cleanser is not doing it's job or you have really oily skin, and u like that matte finish.

I think it depends on your skin type and preference. I have combination skin. I use the cleansing oil as my main cleanser because I have found other foaming cleansers dry out the top layer of my skin, causing deep breakouts, where the cleansing oil leaves it clean, soft, and slightly moisturized.

I've only used this product during the winter months when it's dry. I've not felt the need to use a toner after cleansing with this product. Come the summer, I may feel as if I need to follow with a toner or switch to a completely different product.

I always use foaming cleaner as a followup.

Using a toner will definitely make your skin smoother when you apply it before makeup. It helps the makeup appear more natural.

I rarely use toner, but if you're looking for a gentle, organic product for sensitive skin, you can try Claudalie's Cleansing Water. It's described as "A soap-free, three-in-one cleanser, makeup remover, and toner for face and eyes that's perfect for all skin types - even the most sensitive."

Dissolves right on contact.

I use it to remove my eye makeup with no problems. Usually I rub it over my closed eyes when washing my face.

YES! absolutely it is good for removing eye make-up. Very gentle!

Yes

Safe yes, Effective no. Also due to peppermint may tingle if it gets into eyes

Good for removing eye makeup but can burn if you get it in your eyes or on your lashes. Rinse out immediately after use.

Yes! I use it to remove all my makeup INCLUDING waterproof eye makeup. I use Urban Decay Primer Potion, Smashbox Jet Set Eyeliner, Bad Gal Lash Waterproof Mascara, Bare Minerals Powder Eyeliner and loads of different eyeshadows. They ALL come off beautifully with Boscia. I have not had any eye irritation or clogging problems. My skin is combination/oily and prone to breakouts but this product keeps my skin feeling clean and fresh without having to use extra cleansers afterward. I just apply as directed and rinse off with lukewarm water then apply my usual moisturizers. You don't even really need to use that much product which is great because it lasts a really long time. Hope this helps!

It does a good job of taking off eye makeup and face makeup but will not take off waterproof mascara very well. I would suggest a separate waterproof eye makeup remover for that.

No, not in my experience, but if you remove most of your eye makeup with actual eye makeup remover and then use this, it does a great job of getting rid of the oily feeling of the remover. And it removes skin makeup well

yes it removes everything. I wear waterproof sunscreen, foundation, powder, blush, gel eyeliner, pencil eyeliner, mascara and it has taken off all my make up with no hassle.

I read elsewhere that it's not good for the eyes and can cause a burning sensation so I've just used it for the face and use a separate eye makeup remover.

Yes! Completely dissolves eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow.

I have roasacea on my cheeks and around my nose. It does not make it worse, but it also does not help with it. I have to use other products to treat this.

When you use it, be very gentle. As you should be with any product when you have rosacea. I'm also a licensed esthetician and if you think this product or any other is making you redder, discontinue immediately. But, based on this product it just might calm your skin. Try it and see.

This should help with your flareups. It has helped my dry confused skin. I use glycol gel and retinols.

I have sensitive skin that is red with a few marks (not Rosacea though where your nose grows, etc). I have been using an oil based cleanser 4Ever and also gave one to my mom who had Rosacea. I gave her the Cleansing Milk Seacrets from the Dead Sea which is a thicker form of this and told her never to use water on her face. Her face cleared right up. She still had a bit of redness and a few break outs, but WHAT a difference. If you have Rosacea, you may be irritating your skin with your cleansers and if you let water on your face, you may be causing more skin irritation than if you go with a really good oil cleanser (just don't get it in your eyes)

I suffer from mild to moderate rosacea, and would highly recommend that you try a sample of this first. I use the basic Boscia skin care line (purifying cleansing gel, am and pm moisturizers and toner), but have had bad reactions to their products with witch hazel, alcohol, menthol, or eucalyptus oil. These are all common rosacea triggers (see the National Rosacea Society website FAQs for common triggers). This product has both eucalyotus oil and menthol (check out the Boscia website for the ingredient listing for this product). I think that Boscia is a great brand for sensitive skin, but not all of their products are good for people with rosacea. Just in case you are interested in their other products, I would also recommend trying samples first of their masks, especially the black mask (alcohol and witch hazel in top three ingredients, and also contains eucalyptus oil). I had an especially bad reaction to the black mask.

I don't have rosacea but I do have skin that gets red and inflamed very easily. This product has a definite calming effect for me. Might be worth a try for you - Sephora will always let you return it if it doesn't work out. Another great option to try for rosacea is the cleanser from First Aid Beauty.

I have super sensitive skin and cystic acne prone skin and it is gentle but super effective

I have very sensitive acne prone skin as well and this stuff works great! Super gentle, washes off clean with water and is by far the best makeup remover I've tried for my skin type.

I had great luck with this product in eliminating an episode of acne. I use it as a makeup remover and cleanser all in one. I had read about how stripping your natural oils away could irritate sensitive skin, so that was my reason to give this a try and I'm so glad I did. I think it's a great product.

yes, yes, yes! It sounds like you have skin similar to mine. I have been using this product for about 2 weeks and my skin is almost completely clear! I love it! It will not take off eye makeup well, but it takes off my makeup & cleans & moisturizes my skin in one step!

I have sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin and was using a different "all-in-one" cleanser from another brand. My skin was totally broken out and I was advised by a Sephora rep that the oil-based makeup removers break down makeup better than the others. I tried this one because I have always loved Boscia's cleansers and within a few days my skin cleared up and is looking really good. I use it at night as a makeup remover/cleanser (add water to wash off) and I use the purifying cleansing gel in the a.m..

In my opinion it adds to the benefit of cleanser by unclogging my pores

it replaces it. or you can still use the other cleanser in the AM.

I have both products and have found that i don't really need the gel cleanser. This is effective enough to use day & night on my combination skin. But if you have oily skin, maybe the gel will help along with this.

definitely compliments it. maybe you could get away with it if you just have clear, dry skin type. I have combo with mild acne and I need the cleanser for sure. I feel like I need a deeper clean and this just removes the surface oil and make up.

Cool Cleansing Oil

No it doesn't! I actually think that you should follow with your regular cleanser, because this is oil based so for some skins it can feel weird because of the added oil to the skin.

This is not drying at all. In fact, after washing it off, your skin feels like you've just applied a light coat of oil-free moisturizer on it. No tight feeling at all.

No it didn't dry out at all for me. I use cleansing wipes to wipe away the oil then follow with a gentle cleanser and it hasn't dried out my skin. In fact, my skin felt a lot more hydrated than just using wipes and a cleanser.

This product definitely did not leave my skin dry.

I have combination skin and have not noticed any sort of drying effect while using it even after following it with the cleaner. It actually enhances the cleaner. If I use the make up break up first I can use just a dab of cleanser and get a really good lather going.

just a tiny bit, I think its more the smell than anything truthfully

it's not minty/cool. It is more like a cool cucumber feel.

Only a mild minty/cool feeling when applied. Not as much as other products i've used in the past

Yes, it does. But more of a hint of mint rather than overpowering minty scent.

I don't find that it does but that doesn't make it any less effective.
