L'Occitane Almond Apple Cleansing Oil vs Dermalogica precleanse

A while ago I wrote a post comparing Chanel and YSL cleansing oils, and at the time came down firmly on the side of Chanel, claiming that this was my HG cleansing oil and I would never stray. However, we all know I'm fickle and hopelessly unfaithful when it comes to skincare, and since then I've dabbled with a couple more - L'Occitane Almond Apple Cleansing Oil and Dermalogica precleanse.

This came about because I was looking for something cheaper than the Chanel oil , and L'Occitane fit the bill. Since I've become a one-salary household, I don't have the disposable income I've thrown around in the past, so it's all about  - to borrow a favourite word of Faux Fuschia's - THRIFT - for me at the moment. The Chanel oil retails for about $55AUD on Strawberrynet; I picked up the L'Occitane for $30AUD-ish. I'd read some reviews on Makeup Alley, and some people had complained that it irritated their eyes. Others said they had no problem at all in that regard. I don't have sensitive eyes, so I figured it probably wouldn't be an issue for me.
