Cleansing oil pioneer
"beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin."

In 1967, Mr. Uemura made history by introducing the first oil-based cleanser to japan. the cleansing oil's exceptional reputation and gentle effectiveness quickly convinced the public of its skincare benefits and is now an emblematic product of the shu uemura brand.

Debut of cleansing oil
while working as a makeup artist in hollywood in the late 1950's, shu uemura discovered Unmask, an oil-based cleanser used by film stars and makeup artists on the set. applying heavy stage makeup multiple times daily, actresses often often developed sensitive skin from harsh make-up removers. uemura saw that the cleansing oil removed make-up gently, yet effectively, while maintaining the skin’s natural level of moisture.

The joy of cleaning
the secret to shu uemura cleansing oil is protecting the skin's delicate moisture balance while removing makeup and impurities in a single step. blending rich botanical oils, including avocado and jojoba, with natural phyto ingredients, cleansing oils are formulated in six varieties for perfect, gentle cleansing specific to skin's daily needs. gentle, thorough cleansing is the first step to beautiful skin.

High performance oil system
all of shu uemura's cleansing oils are formulated using the unique hpo (high performance oil) system, a complex combination of three moleculary distinct oils that trap the lipophilic residue of stubborn waxes and oils found in waterproof mascara, foundation and lip color. once emulsified by water, the cleansing oil encapsulates hydrophilic residue, such as dirt and sweat, gently lifting both types of impurities from the pores simultaneously.

I agree that this product makes cleansing a joy!

I have dry and somewhat sensitive skin. I have been very particular about taking off my makeup before bedtime. Any face wash (including Cetaphil) dries it out.

I had started believing that the dry, stretched feeling after washing was a part of life, until I tried the Shu Uemura HPCO. This product takes off all my mascara and makeup and does not leave my skin feeling dry or parched. In fact, it leaves it a bit glowing. It looks as though I have applied a very light coat of moisturizer!

I love the fact that it foams up slightly and can be washed off with water. Thanks, Shu Uemura!

Cleansing my face to me has always been nothing but a chore.

Remover of mascara, eyeshadow and the likes further add on to my misery especially when you come back from a day of work or even a fun night out - cleansing your face becomes a "NO" fun issue.

Thus, i have always been an ardent fan of make up wipes although i am well-aware that it wouldn't clean as well as cleansing oil would. My friend finally convinced me one christmas to try the Shu Uemura cleansing for all skin condition.

Wala! It was a dream come true for me because it has really made cleansing so much easier. It is difficult to express how i feel in words because it has truly been a pleasant experience. Eye shadow, mascara has come off with just gentle rubbing- it's an all- in - one cleanser for the whole face.

After using the product, i have always continued supporting it. Now, i can proudly declare myself as an ardent fan of make- up wipes no more!

Shu Uemura is truly nothing but a wonder. It should be included in the wonders of the world!

I am incredibly picky about cleansing oils; some break me out, some leave a film, some dry my skin out, and some lay dormant for months until they decide to rebel and launch an attack on my skin (Ettusais, that's you).

But Shu Uemura's HPCO is in a class of its own. It isn't drying, nor does it clog my pores or leave a film. The ingredients are botanical and refreshing, fantastic for acne-prone skin, which may be part of the reason I haven't seen too many pesky blemishes since starting it.

A dream come true, I'm sticking to this cleansing oil for always!

I love High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh. I have combination to oily skin and it is important to me that I don't get too oily and my skin needs to be really clean of make-up and dirt as it will definitely cause breakouts. High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh is really great in removing waterproof make-up and my skin doesn't feel oily at all, just really clean and nice

[DeLicaTe]

High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh and Brightening Cleansing Oil remove any heavy makeup with ease and when emulsified with water, turns into a facial cleanser like texture that is neither too soapy nor harsh for sensitive skin (combination to oily) like mine.

After cleansing, skin feels fresh and soft, and you don't have to double cleanse with your normal cleanser anymore because it is very effective. Try swiping your face after that with facial cotton and toner, and you'll find that your skin is already perfectly clean, like after a facial! Definitely no breakouts as compared to some other brands of cleansing oils that leave a film of oily feel.

The best plus point to boot is the scent of the products that lingers lightly on your skin. Love them so much that I look forward to makeup removal more than putting on makeup daily! :D

I have never tried any Shu Uemura products and i would love to try this package out!

[veraclari]

To date, Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh for combination to oily skin conditions and Advanced Formula for all skin type, they are still my favourite cleansing oil! After finishing the 2 BIG bottles i had, i've frankly tried switching to other brands but Have yet to find any one that's better than Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil!

I'm really hoping to get my hands on the Brightening one for dull and Uneven skin or the Premium A/O for people with aging concerns ( I am concern at my early 30s!) (perhaps once after i've found a job...)

No matter what, Shu Uemura is my favourite! And no other cleansing oil does what Shu Uemura cleansing oil does - removing all dirt and makeup with additional skin enhancing properties WITHOUT having the need to double cleanse! Now beat that!

I've tried some samples of Shu Uemura's cleansing oil in the past, and despite my initial misgivings about the fact that it's an oil, I found it more effective than many other counter brands for removing waterproof makeup.

Last weekend I bought a small bottle of High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh especially for dealing with my wedding makeup because I needed something that would take off a lot of heavy makeup very quickly in between makeup sessions and at the end of the day. It was so effective and time-saving that I managed to fit a nap into my schedule after my morning's photoshoot And at night, after my wedding dinner and after-party, I was so glad to remove my makeup quickly and cleanly before falling into bed.

I didn't entirely believe in the moisturising properties of this product at first, but that night, I fell asleep without moisturiser in an air-conditioned hotel room... and the next day, my skin still felt remarkably supple! Most nights, if I go to bed without moisturising, I'll wake up with dry flaky skin around my nose and lips. I wouldn't rely on this cleansing oil as a substitute for an actual moisturiser, of course, but I am very happy that it moisturises instead of drying, the way many cleansers do.

It should come as no surprise that such an excellent product is available at a rather hefty premium I would love to receive a bottle of High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh from this giveaway, so I can continue to enjoy it without breaking my piggy bank!

I have tried many brands of cleasning oil - Kose, The Face Shop, Biore, Neutrogena
But the cleansing oils from Shu Uemura is really the holy grail

It cleanses without drying, and most importantly, does not cause breakouts even if I do not double cleanse.

It is pricey but I guess you get what you pay for and its worth every penny.

[momoko222]

I am new in make-up. But heard so much about shu uemura. I will love to try the cleansing oil.

But it is a little pricey. I hope that I can be the loyal fan of shu uemura once I try the lovely well-known cleansing oil.

I have combination skin and have switched my cleansing oil already but so far all those I have used before are too oily. They leave a layer of oil on my face even after cleansing. It is already a tiring task to do after I reached home but can you imagine I have to double or triple cleanse my face to make sure my face does not have any trace of oil which sometimes cause my face feels dry. I have spent so much unnecessary money on products which does not suit me so I hope I am given the chance to dry the High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh for combination to oily skin conditions. At least I know if it works on skin I know which cleansing product to go for in future so please let me try it. Thanks alot!!!

[ladytricia]

i have never got a chance to try shu uemura's cleansing oil.
i have heard much about the excellent cleansing quality of this product, but its price puts me off.
i'm not gonna exclaim that i love shu uemura so much that you have to pick me, but i do enjoy using its products, like the blusher, liquid eyeliner and liquid concealer.
now that there is this opportunity to win the cleansing oil, i'm just gonna try my luck!
besides, the designs on the bottles are beautiful

I love all the Shu Uemura oils. I came across Shu by accident @ DFS in the airport as it have a traveling set-it's 4 little tubes of their 4 cleansing oils. I think this is a great way to test all their cleansing oils to find out which one works better. I thought the cherry blossom one (Pink) or the green tea extract one (Green Tea) would work for me but surprisingly the enriched version (Orange)is the best for my skin. The regular one (Pale Orange) was so so only. Although it's expensive but I think it's worth for the price as it can last me for a long time. I highly recommend this product!
