This oil is lightweight with a fresh, lemon-y kind of scent. It emulsifies into a milky substance when I rinse with water. I use it as a first cleanser to remove the majority of makeup and any sunscreen. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. No irritation, and works like a typical oil cleanser. I have not seen any differences in blackhead removal yet, though it does pick up some grit like my previous oil cleanser (The Face Shop Rice Water Bright - Rich). Will update and perhaps add a star if I do see an improvement in blackheads.
