Heartleaf 77% Clear Cleansing Oil — Reddit Reviews
by Anua
Updated September 23, 2026
Makeup-removing oil cleanser that’s weirdly polarizing; can clog some faces.
What the community says
An oil cleanser for the first cleanse: it breaks down sunscreen, mascara, and general gunk, then gets rinsed before your second cleanser. People with rosacea or drier skin sometimes love it; acne-prone users report clogs, cystic breakouts, burning, and eye sting.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Breakout reports are everywhere — cystic acne, clogged pores, and random bumps
- Fragrance means sensitive skin gets burned or irritated
- Can sting eyes and leave the mouth area patchy
