I’ve done the oil cleansing method before with just hot water and it cleaned off just fine, leaving my skin moisturized and plump and nice. I feel like Ultrabland should work the same way, given that it’s essentially the same thing. Toners usually dry me out! :(
I’m gonna give it another shot, but with a full OCM-style steaming (washcloth soaked in hot water, pressed to face until it cools down) and see if that improves things.
