I received a free sample of Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil from Butterly to review. While I only received a sample packet, I was able to notice a difference in my skin after just a few days of use.

I have combination skin, which tends to be a bit more on the oily side, so I have always been a bit hesitant to try a cleansing oil. However, this product didn't leave my skin feeling the least bit greasy. It's a clear, silky oil with moderate scent. When I applied it as instructed (using water to emulsify it), it rinsed if clean. I didn't feel any need to follow up with an additional cleanser. I was also very impressed with the way it removed my makeup, especially my waterproof mascara and eye liner. When compared to my regular makeup remover, I noticed my skin looked and felt was much cleaner, without excessive rubbing. And, this product left my skin feeling much softer and better hydrated.

The one limitation of this product for me, was the high price point. To purchase this product on Sephora.com you are looking at $54.00-$106.00 per bottle.
This is far outside my budget for any beauty products or cleansers. However, if you can afford it, I think this product is worth the investment.    -
