Cleansing Oil When it comes to using oil on your skin, cleansing oils may be the most counterintuitive. "But you have to fight oil with oil," says Vargas. One of my favorites is Lierac Demaquillant Velours Cleansing Oil, $26, which launched last year. It contains macadamia and jojoba oils to dissolve makeup and cleanse the skin. You apply it to dry skin -- yes, it feels a little strange at first -- and then emulsify it with water. You'll never want to use a harsh gel cleanser again.

Tried garnier's miracle dry oil- hated it. Now I'm using coconut oil and grapeseed oil and I love it. :)

Interesting, I might try the oil for lips

I got samples of the Marula oil and the Clarins serum from Sephora and was extremely underwhelmed by both. The Marula oil smells terrible--like a cross between medicinal ointment and men's cologne--and did nothing for my combo dry/very oily skin. If high prices scare you I suggest going the sample route first so you can see if a product works for you before you commit to buy.

Coconut oil is a cheap and popular multi-purpose oil. :)

Thank you for helping me make sense of the myriad oils out there. I'm looking forward to trying some!

YES to monoi oil! I have Yves Rocher's monoi oil and love it. Bottle lasts *forever* bc you literally only need 2 drops! I use it on dry hair.

I thought Shu quit selling in the United States? Did they backtrack on that decision?

I would like to try the lip quench!
