ADDICTION Gentle Cleansing Oil was launched in September 2016 and was ranked among the top makeup remover products in many well-known fashion magazines such as VoCE, Midea, and MAQUIA that year. The Gentle Cleansing Oil and The Ginza Cleansing Oil have a similar ingredient structure, have similar cleansing power, and are available as a flat version of The Ginza Cleansing Oil at a lower price.
ADDICTION Gentle Cleansing Oil is based on mineral oil, assisted by synthetic esters, and the addition of vegetable oil ingredients is small, and the makeup removal power is moderate, so there is basically no problem for removing daily light makeup. Compared to The Ginza Cleansing Oil, the ADDICTION Gentle Cleansing Oil is slightly inferior to use, it does not have high fluidity like The Ginza Cleansing Oil, it is slightly thicker in terms of texture, and there is a certain pull on the skin when the upper face is pushed away. Fortunately, the emulsification is fast and complete, and the face is still relatively fresh after washing with water, and there is no need to use facial cleanser to cleanse it a second time.
The gentle cleansing oil contains a small amount of alcohol and is able to smell a faint alcoholic smell. In recent years, alcohol has been quite frowned upon by the skincare industry, but alcohol is a safe solvent and it is not useless. In skin care varieties, alcohol can cool the skin and help penetration, and in makeup removers, alcohol not only improves the feeling of refreshing the skin, but also plays a role in assisting in makeup removal. ADDICTION cleansing oil does not contain much alcohol, so users don't need to talk about alcohol discoloration, and sensitive skin can do a sensitivity test before use. In addition, the preservative of ADDICTION Gentle Cleansing Oil uses BHT, which is a permeable preservative that is controversial for its safety in makeup products, but the cleansing oil is a non-lingering product and has a short stay time on the face, so users do not need to worry about it.
ADDICTION Gentle Cleansing Oil 150ml costs about 250 yuan, and there is also a 250ml version with a price of about 340 yuan. The Gentle Cleansing Oil is packaged in a black and white color scheme with a Nars-inspired design, thanks to the fact that ADDICTION's Creative Director was the former Chief Makeup Artist at NARS.
