Smells lovely but not particularly cleansing

Thank-you to @shuuemura and @thisisbutterly/@chickadvisor for the Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil sample. It's super tiny, but I was able to get a couple of uses out of it. Add: I wasted a lot trying to get it to emulsify on my first wash.

I love the smell. It smells like a Marc Jacobs perfume, or like something he would put out. Flirty, floral, sweet, and feminine. It didn't really emulsify when mixed with a little water, but I do appreciate how easily it washed off my face for a cleansing oil. It's light, not heavy. But it didn't reduce the appearance of my pores, just left my skin feeling clean if not looking clean. I would not purchase this outside of this promotion, but I am open to a conditioning body oil or conditioning hair oil in this scent. It smells so lovely.

Not right for me

I recently tested my free sample of shu uemura ultime8 cleansing oil and honestly it’s just not the product for me.
Having oily skin, I’m always skeptical of oil based cleansers but heard great things about this so I figured it was worth a shot.
This had a nice scent, a light lather and the sample came with enough cleanser to use multiple times.

Although my face felt very soft afterwards, it didn’t feel as clean as I had hoped. Also, within 10 minutes of use I felt a slight irritation on my face. I was worried I was going to have a reaction or break out - but it eventually subsided.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t use this again as I don’t think the ingredients are suited to my skin type.

Its not for me

I didn't like how oily this product was. I usually need more texture on my cleansing facial creams for them to take effect. This product was just too runny and light. I'm not a fan. The smell was ok but overall this product was not for me.

Would be great for more dry skin

I didn’t mind this and it was very smooth and effective at removing my makeup to be sure. However I have very oily skin and tend to shy away from using oils. So typically I wouldn’t pick up an oil based product. It was very soft feeling though and didn’t make me break out which was nice. The sample size was unexpected I figured it would be a full size or travel size and was disappointed because I feel like it wasn’t really enough to try out to give it a proper go.

Pretty Good

Was very well balanced oil made my skin nicely toned and feel hydrated and pigmentation seems better . I was gifted a small sample so I can’t really tell a difference much but it was okay for me .

Gentle oil

This Shu Uemira oil was a very gentle oil cleanser. The oil was very loose and hard to control so I lost some of it through my fingers. Once applied to my face it felt good. Adding water creates a gentle milky foam that feels soft and luxurious. I did not feel like it really cleansed my skin or even removed makeup. I felt like it was too gentle. I did like that it left my skin feeling moisturized and soft and not oily at all. I feel like this would work best as a second step after thoroughly cleaning my face first. It has a nice light floral scent and smelled very clean

Good but with caveats

I love the scent of this Shu Uemura cleansing oil. It's earthy and spicy and very relaxing. The product is also very effective at removing makeup. Even mascara took little effort to remove with this oil. The sample I received was enough for several days of uses, but even in that time, I had a couple of breakout spots. I would say that if you're not prone to breakouts, this is a great buy but otherwise stay away!

Average

I wasnt really fond of the perfume like smell. It removed my makeup and left my skin soft, but so does my face balm I use that's half the price. Its like the other oils/balms and think its way overpriced. It was nice to try out though

Shu Uemura Moisturizing Oil

Shu Uemura Beauty Cleansing Oil acts more like a rich moisturizer for dry skin to me. It has left my parched skin softer, more supple than before. It is the perfect product for seasonally dry skin or skin affected by the elements. This oil is thick and more heavyweight so it seems to keep skin moisturized longer.

Not amazing

I don't love this. It doesn't feel great on the skin and I had a reaction. I would not buy this again but glad I got to try it to make that choice. May work for some
