What's the best Shu cleansing oil in your opinion for oily acne prone skin? I only tried 2 of them (samples) the pink and the green one, the pink one made my skin itchy and the green didn't. Anyone experienced the same problem with the pink one?

I personally recommend the Cleansing Oil A/O (Green Bottle)

I've tried the other ones... and this one I've been the happiest with. I haven't broken out... there's no drying... its quite moisturizing, but not oily.

Plus... I LOVE the preventative aging properties... its been keeping my skin very soft, supple, and firm.... HTH!

Where did you get the samples from? I'd be interested in trying some, before buying a full sized bottle.

Hi~
I love Shu Uemura's Cleansing Oils and I've tried all four (the original, the light, the pink, the green). I am normal to dry skin and I prefer to use the original (in winter) and the green (in summer). The pink makes my skin kinda itchy and tight >.<...I've talked with the ladies at Shu, and they recommend the light or the original for acne prone skin depending on the seasons and humidity.
Some people have had massive breakouts using cleansing oils so be sure you wash it off with TONS of water and to use another facial cleanser or facial soap to cleanse off the residue.

I do recommend trying them out before you buy the big bottle and last time I was at Barney's, the MUA was very generous and gave me a HUGE sample (50ml) to try. And for anyone who's interested in trying the green one and doesn't care about whether the sample is in an original Shu bottle or not, I'd be more than happy to decant some from my big bottle (I can't wear makeup right now..so have no use for the oil)...just PM me~
Hope this helped~

Shu Uemura cleansing oils are the best! I am using the yellow variant. Though I might try the green one since my friend told me it's better for acne proned skin.

I love this oil. I've been using it for years. I would highly recommend it. It removes makeup so well -- but be sure to use it without water initially, and then add water and continue.

I used the original (yellow) oil years ago and it was very good. Recently, I got samples of the pink and green ones. I love the green one, it makes my skin smooth and pores seem less visible. The pink one is just all right, strangely it is supposed to be pore clarifying but it doesn't do as good a job as the green one, so it is not my favorite. I would recommend you to try the yellow or green.

I have oily skin with acne issues and I use the High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Advanced Formula. It's one of the yellow ones so I put the whole name to know which one it is lol. I got the big bottle on sale (I think it was 30% off at the time) after using the deluxe sample I had for awhile to make sure it worked well for me. Although I still have more than half of the bottle left I think I might try the green one for the summer. I love the one that I have but I notice a difference in how it feels in the warmer months. As someone already mentioned, you HAVE to make sure you fully emulsify and rinse it from your skin. Otherwise you will have a film that can make your skin feel oily.

I can't recommend a specific website because I don't know which products you are looking for, but here are some links to online stores that carry products of the Shu U range and ship to the Netherlands:

http://web1.sasa.com/SasaWeb/eng/sasa/home.jsp
http://uk.spacenk.com
http://www.yesstyle.com

You could also try to order by phone from Shu stores in France or Belgium:
http://www.shuuemura.com/_en/_ww/store-locator/locations/belgium.aspx
http://www.shuuemura.com/_en/_ww/store-locator/locations/france.aspx

Hope that helps!

Has anyone used the porefinist gentle foaming cleansing water?
Link: http://www.shuuemura.ca/product/porefinist-gentle-foaming-cleansing-water,default,pd.html#start=7&cgid=skincare-cleanser-remover
I think it might be new and so far I've heard good things. A foaming cleanser, not an oil cleanser (which I've grown to love).

So far I've used the brown, green, pink, and purple bottles, and green is by far my favourite.
Pink was awful! Brown and purple seemed the same to me.

I think I'll try the yellow next, although there are 2 yellows and I'm not sure which one is better.
yellow 1: high performance balancing cleansing oil advanced formula
yellow 2: cleansing beauty oil premium a/i
Any suggestions??

I was going to mention the pink one until I came in and read your post
but for me, pink one worked really well.
I've tried the green and blue, but none of them cleansed and left my skin leaving refreshed like the pink one :(

The pink one is my favorite I've gone through two of the big bottles and they usually last me around a year for each

My skin is sensitive so I had used only organic products for almost 5 years.
But recently I became to want to try usual products, then I chose shu uemura's.

I got sample of pink, green, brown, and purple.
So far I love green one the most because of the scent.
It smells really good and it's refreshing!
I'm gonna buy this.

For me, pink was not bad. It didn't make my skin itchy at all.
I think it was even best for pore cleaning. It actually took whiteheads off!

Purple was also good for my dullness of skin.
After using it, my skin became brighter.

Brown (ultim8) was just usual.
