Question 1

What are the ingredients?

Accepted Answer

The poster that linked to another ingredient list MAY have linked to a page with a bad ingredient list.   Why?  At least 2 reasons:  (1) This product is known to have olive oil among its ingredients, yet while the non-amazon link given by Daniel shows a photo of this product, but the ingredient list there has NO olive oil AND seems to be for a totally different product because the ingredients there just don't jive with Amazons list at all.  So which page is correct?  Well, (2) This product emulsifies with water (e.g. gets liquidy/milky), and yet the non-amazon page says water is the first ingredient--if that were true, it would not change nature when you rinse with water (e.g. adding more water would not change the nature of the product so).   
Of course, unless someone reads Japanese, we can't be 100% sure, but the lack of olive oil AND the presence of water in the non-amazon link would seem to say that non-amazon ingredient page is a mistake. 
Peace Everyone!

Question 2

Do you cleanse with wet or dry skin?

Accepted Answer

Apply the oil onto dry hands, massage it onto dry skin until all the makeup is off, then rinse with water. You should see the oil emulsify into a white-ish color.

Question 3

Is this better than using plain old coconut oil?

Accepted Answer

Yes!! 100% better than plain old coconut oil. This is a cleansing oil, which means that it has an emulsifier in it which enables it to wash off cleanly. Coconut oil, on the other hand, will not wash off cleanly and (contrary to popular belief) it's not a great oil to use on your skin because in the long run it will end up clogging your pores. This cleansing oil, on the other hand, will deep clean your pores and soften your skin.You can, of course, make your own cleansing oil if you want to, but maybe don't use coconut oil. Plant oils like olive, grapeseed, sunflower, jojoba etc are better. I'm sure that you can find emulsifying agents (I think there's one made out of olive oil available?). But if you don't want to go through all that trouble, this cleansing oil is a great one! :)

Question 4

Is this good for oily skin?

Accepted Answer

I have pretty oily skin, though dry in some spots, and it works very well for me. Far better than DHC and other cleansing oils have. I follow with cetaphil, foaming cleansers are too harsh on my sensitive skin.
