Garnier Oil Cleanser Review

So first things first, I LOVE THIS STUFF.
Don't let the "dry skin" part persuade you against buying this product if you have combination/oily skin.
Ok, now onto all of the details:
The story begins on a normal day visiting my local Walgreens store 2 weeks ago. I had something to return that didn't work for my skin and decided to browse the other face cleansers just in case. (Prior to trying this cleanser my skin had gone out of whack and decided to burn and turn red every time I washed my face, so I was looking for something gentler). I saw a new display for Garnier and noticed an oil cleanser which excited me immensely. I've tried other oil cleansers in the past, but they're usually over $20 and I've never been able to buy one at a drugstore which I was always disappointed with. I was instantly sold at the $7.99 price tag, went to the cash register and was surprised with a dollar off coupon, meaning this stuff only cost me $6.99!
Here's my thoughts:
It works amazingly at removing my make-up and cleansing my face before bed. Before this I was using a cleanser, homemade oil make-up remover, and then a cleansing cloth to remove the oil that I used to take off my eye make-up. With the Garnier Nourishing Cleansing Oil all I have to do is apply it to my dry skin, rub it all over, then rinse, and magically all of my make-up is removed without any other steps! Also, unlike other cleansing oils I've tried in the past, it leaves a tiny bit of oil on the skin afterwards. At first I was skeptical about this since I have combination, acne prone skin to begin with but it actually worked in my benefit. Now, instead of using a night cream to keep my winter skin from feeling red, dry and sore at night I just wash my face with this, let the tiny bit of oiliness soak in and I'm done with my night time skin care! Also, I haven't had any breakouts during the 2 weeks I've been using this product.
The only downside is the scent. It's a very strong floraly scent which I'm not a huge fan of but I'll deal with it since this is the only cleanser I've been able to use this Winter that hasn't turned my face into a burning red mess.
