Amazing with some tweaks

While LVCE dissolves makeup better than any oil cleanser I've ever used, I had two issues with it. 1) The packaging is messy. Putting it in a pump bottle fixed that. 2) I couldn't actually get the product off my face! I'd have black eyeliner dissolved and streaked across my cheeks; the only way of removing it was to scrape it off with a rough towel or double-cleanse, which I didn't want to do around my eyes. Using it alone, my skin got clogged up and broke out with 3 weeks because it left too much film. I nearly gave up on it but then thought that, if I could add an emulsifier, it might wash clean (like how Kiehl's oil cleanser works). I researched emulsifiers and found cosmetic-grade Polysorbate-80 for a few dollars on eBay. Approx. 85% LVCE to15% Polysorbate-80 does the trick. Now I have the best of both worlds - an awesome cleanser that also washes clean. If you're having similar issues, it's the perfect fix!
