23 Best Korean Oil Cleanser For Oily Skin (2023 Updated)

IšverstiShow in original languageThis was the best deep cleansing oil I’ve ever used! I had received a 1. 5ml sample packet from Ulta awhile back in one of those “Mystery Grab bag” promotions they gave out if you spent over a certain amount but I had never used it.

I noticed that Ulta was going to be having this oil on sale on 16Mar for 50% off so I cracked open the sample to give it a go. (That’s why I used a stock photo instead of the packet because I ripped it to shreds.

) You use it on dry skin and rub in for 35-40 seconds, then rinse. It melts off you fingertips right away with water (unlike some heavier oils that stay on forever) and falls off your face effortlessly.

I don’t pat dry with a cleansing oil, I wipe away because I want the towel to get off most of the debris on my face. Your skin feels instantaneously smoother and hydrated. You can’t stop touching your face.

I had a few scabs left over from a breakout with a charcoal mask that didn’t like me and this eradicated those things overnight! I liked this so much that I bought 2 bottles from Ulta’s 50% off sale! Seriously, try this stuff!.

IšverstiShow in original languageMy first cleansing step used to be with a cleansing balm but I was not a fan of the one I used because it felt like the balm stayed on my skin after rinsing. I decided to try this oil as it had good reviews with removing makeup and I really liked it.

If I rinse well it doesn’t feel like I still have product on me and has indeed been great at removing makeup without me having to scrub and tug at my skin. Leaves it hydrated and definitely not stripping.

It does smell like olive oil though but I don’t mind at all. I would have made this my go to forever because it lasted me such a long time even after using it everyday but after finding out about the comments the CEO of this brand has made it’s been off putting.

I have finished the bottle I though I would repurchase but now looking for something new. I love this product but never buying from this brand again until I hear of a culture change. I would take off more stars but the product is great so I just took one off for reasons mentioned above.

IšverstiShow in original languageI was recommended this by my local salon. It is quick and easy to use and rinses off leaving no residue. My skin is silky smooth afterwards and serums/moisturisers sink in better.

It is quite a strong retinal product if you’ve never used retinal before so I would advise using 2-3 times a week to begin with until your skin can tolerate it. I have tried other exfoliating washes/tonics but always go back to this one.

IšverstiShow in original languageIt’s my thirst bottle and not going to change this product for nothing different. My skin is sensitive and sometimes dehydrated prone to breakouts especially when stressed.

This cleansing lotion balances my skin very well and leaves it feeling clean but not harshly but gentle. Highly recommended 👌.

IšverstiShow in original languageEnviron pre cleansing oil is always the essential start to removing my makeup. This product dissolves away any cosmetic products easily and efficiently. I then follow with a cleansing lotion or gel to completely remove all makeup.

5 star.

IšverstiShow in original languageI really like this oil facial cleanser for normal/dry skin. It cleans my makeup off really well. I’ve found if I wet my face with a little water first, it works much better.

Not sure why, but it does! Leaves my face clean and doesn’t dry it out like many facial cleansers do. Definitely recommend this product!.

IšverstiShow in original languagePerfect cleanser for the winter. It moisturizes while erasing the days dirt and grime. It leaves your skin soft not oily. It works well for all makeup. I use this first, followed by a water based gentle cleanser.

Then the hyaluronic with C and a night moisturizer. I’m getting wonderful results.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is my second bottle and I really like the new pump and glass bottle!! At times my skin gets extremely dry. I like that this works as a face cleaner and moisturizer.

I can put it on and leave it or wash it off! I love the light scent.

IšverstiShow in original languageI am in love with this cleansing balm! First it felt fantastic as it glided over my skin and felt like it’s melting away the grunge. This is a 3 in 1 makeup remover that easily removes stubborn eye and face makeup, impurities, and other excess that has been layered throughout the day.

I love that it’s just 1 step and there is no need to double cleanse. After I washed it off my face felt and looked clean. It didn’t leave my face oily or greasy. This comes with a handy mini spoon which is located in the top portion of the All Clean Balm.

I loved this because it has its own compartment away from the cleansing balm which makes it convenient to travel with. The Heimish All Clean Balm has a very mild herbal scent but it’s barely noticeable unless you smell it directly from the container and when using the cleansing balm I didn’t notice it at all.

It’s also 100% vegan and cruelty free! This is definitely a must have for me going forward! This product was gifted to me.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’ve seen this everywhere and was so excited to try it. I haven’t tried anything like this before so this was quite a fun experiment. 🧪🥼😂 “Multi-Cleansing that completely removes heavy makeup; Contains Coconut Extract and Shea Butter which melts upon contact with skin and provides deep cleansing to remove all makeup and dirt.

” As you can see in my pictures, it started a soft solid balm. When applied to the face, it melts into an oil as claimed. It then dissolved into a milky liquid when water is added. It’s quite milky 😅 so excuse my struggling face at the end there.

Such a great product to be the first step in my night routine! Not drying at all. Perfect for heavy makeup days or when you just want to get deep cleaned without stripping your natural oils. It does have a fragrance which I know can deter some users.

I still prefer my Makeup Erasers + micellar water combo to remove makeup though cause it’s a lot less messy.

IšverstiShow in original languageI am like Goldilocks but with balm/oil cleansers. I love the Tatcha oil cleanser but it’s too pricey. I’ve tried the Clean it Zero and I wanted to love it because it was so economical.

Unfortunately, I didn’t love it. I found it difficult to wash off and it left a film. I’ve tried the Elemis Pro Collagen – it was OK. I preferred it over the ones I mentioned above but I really didn’t love it either.

Then in stumbled on this product, the All Clean Balm by Heimish. Everyone was talking about it and recommended it but I thought it was just one of those products that are popular for the moment but isn’t great.

I am so glad I am wrong. This balm is PERFECT. It melts into your hands effortlessly. It glides over the face beautifully and removes all traces of makeup and sunscreen, even stubborn, waterproof makeup.

The price is also very affordable and appropriate for the product and size. I highly recommend it!.

Is Heimish a good brand? Heimish All Clean Balm is a must-try if you’re looking to start with Heimish. I’ve read so many positive reviews on this balm to oil cleanser and it just melts almost everyone who have tried it.

Including the simple and elegant packaging design of this balm, I can hardly find reasons why to not try out this balm. Keep on reading to know my thoughts on this highly popular cleansing balm. I’ve been wanting to try out Heimish’s Clean Balm for ages but I stocked up cleansing balms a lot last time since it was on sale, so I couldn’t get any new ones until I finished them up just recently.

It took me 2 years to almost finish up 2 big bottles of cleansing balms. LOL. Anyhow, I’ve been super excited to try out this balm especially when I’ve been reading good reviews about it. Texture I still can’t believe how the sherbet-like texture at first manages to melt so easily into oil just by rubbing it with the fingers.

Even without water or damp skin, Hemish All Clean balm manages to melt into oil with ease. Even scooping out the product from the packaging seems oddly satisfying to do. LOL Experience I can’t emphasize how amazed I am with this cleansing balm.

It does its job perfectly by melting away make-up so easily. Especially those hard to come of ones like mascara and lipstick, this cleansing balm manages to rinse them all away in just one wash. My skin tends to get a bit oily when I wake up from sleep, so to start my day double-cleansing is a must.

This all clean balm manages to rub away all that oil stuck on my face without even drying out my skin afterwards. I don’t know how long does this Heimish All Clean Balm will last at this rate as I’ve used almost half of the tub.

I tend to use quite a generous amount of it since I find pleasure scoping out the balm. LOL. But if you tend to use it just the right amount once a day, it could last 2-3 months since the tub is rather big as well.

Overall Thoughts I can’t believe the price Hemish is selling for this product because it’s considered cheap for a cleansing balm and it works effectively. I feel like I have found my next best cleansing balm favourite and of course, I highly recommend this balm especially for acne-prone skin like myself.

But still, those with acne and sensitive skin should be careful too if you look from the INCI side.

IšverstiShow in original languageIt is counter-intuitive for an oil to be the best cleanser for oily or combination skin so I was pleasantly surprised when over about two weeks the blackheads on the side of my nose and the crease of my chin diminished and disappeared.

I have been using this product for about four years as my nightly cleansing routine. My pores are clean and much smaller. Over time my t-zone has also become less oily with fewer breakouts. It’s also a whiz at removing eye makeup.

One pump does your entire face.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have seborrheic hyperplasia where I produce enough oil to fill up a supertanker or two daily. I had tried the pore face wash, but it was getting me nowhere. I contacted DHC and talked to one of their advisors.

She recommended this because: “Like dissolves like. ” That surprised me because that is the underlying principle of homeopathic medicine, and I should have had figured that out in the first place. So I bought this and applied it to DRY skin and did a facial muscular massage to help relax my tense face.

I let that stay on for about ten minutes before rinsing. I then used my pore face wash, and I could feel that the excessive oil wasn’t remaining behind like before. I follow that up with the Platinum Silver Nanocolloid Lotion to kill the Cutibacterium (Propionibacterium) acnes bacteria living in the pores that cause white heads and cysts (which keeps my face clear despite the excessive oil).

As seborrheic hyperplasia is a chronic condition, DHC better keep this product on their shelves. It works. It really works!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI had been using Deep Cleansing Oil for years, and still continue to use it. But as I aged, I started getting these large pores that were becoming more visible, on my cheeks, nose, chin and other areas.

I had never seen this before and one day I looked in my rearview mirror and was shocked to see large pores peeking through my makeup. I was told by my dermatologist that this happens as we age. The skin starts to lose elasticity and our pores get larger and more slack as a result.

I ordered Pore Cleansing Oil and Pore Face Wash, hoping for a little change. What I got was a huge change and I’m so thankful there is a product like this from DHC. I will never be without it! Pores have shrunk and are barely visible anymore.

Leaves skin clean and soft. Does exactly what it says. Don’t ever discontinue this product line. There’s nothing else like it anywhere.

I decided to write this review in two languages to try to expand this wonderful community! this is fundamental for me!!!! cleans in a delicate way and without altering the natural balance, because the sebum that is eliminated with this technique is also replaced by the vegetable oil you have chosen: the skin will not feel “unprotected” and will not be led to produce more sebum.

How does the oil clean the skin? According to the principle “the similar dissolves the similar”, the oil massaged on the face effectively dissolves the dirt that accumulates in the pores – make-up residues, sebum naturally produced by the skin, dirt caused by exposure to the polluted air of the city – and replaces it, protecting and nourishing the skin.

If done correctly and consistently, this Oil can be a valuable aid for dry skin, oily skin and to eliminate pimples and blackheads. All this, leaving your skin healthy, balanced and well hydrated. ITA ho deciso di scrivere questa recensione in due lingue per cercare di ampliare questa meravigliosa community! questo è per me fondamentale!!! pulisce in maniera delicata e senza alterarne il naturale equilibrio, perché il sebo che viene eliminato con questa tecnica viene anche sostituito dall’olio vegetale che hai scelto: la pelle quindi non si sentirà “priva di protezione” e non sarà portata a produrre altro sebo.

Come fa l’olio a pulire la pelle? In base al principio “il simile dissolve il simile”, l’olio massaggiato sul viso riesce a sciogliere in maniera efficace lo sporco che si accumula nei pori – residui di make-up, sebo naturalmente prodotto dalla pelle, sporco causato dall’esposizione all’aria inquinata della città – e lo sostituisce, proteggendo e nutrendo la pelle.

Se fatto in maniera corretta e costante, può essere un valido aiuto per la pelle secca, per quella grassa, per eliminare brufoli e punti neri. Il tutto, lasciandoti la pelle sana, equilibrata e ben idratata.

Sicuramente il mio struccante preferito come primo step della doppia detersione. E’ adatto a pelli sensibili in quanto non contiene profumo e ha un ottimo INCI. Io ho una pelle mista-grassa ma anche sensibile e mi trovo benissimo, scioglie tutto il trucco e non inaridisce la pelle.

Perfetto!.

IšverstiShow in original languagePlease keep in mind while reading this: I have terribly sensitive skin (allergies that make me break out in bad rashes on my skin, something I feel I’ve been fighting since I was very little with medication, skin creams, etc.

etc. ) and it’s really hard to find products that work for me. I had been wanting to try out the Korean skin care routine because really nothing else seemed to be working, but I also wanted to keep to cruelty free products.

After some research, I was able to create my own “Korean skin care routine kit for sensitive skin” and WOW, my skin feels amazing. Unfortunately, since I bought them all at the same time and started using them all right away, I can’t attribute any one thing to keeping my skin feeling so soft, my pores shrinking, my rashes GONE, and the CONSTANT peeling on my nose also no longer being a problem.

What I CAN say about this cleanser is that, when paired with the Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser, my face feels amazing. It has just right amount of moisture while still being clean. I could visibly see a difference with my normally huge pores after a few days of using this combination.

These two steps (the cleansing oil and then foaming cleanser) are my favorite parts about my skin care routine, hands down. I would definitely recommend using this brand.

Innisfree est une marque que je rêvais de tester. Ayant la peau mixte, j’ai choisi l’huile nettoyante au thé vert. Après un bref massage du visage, il suffit de rincer à l’eau claire. J’ai été étonnée d’avoir la peau très douce mais surtout pas irritée comme j’ai pu connaître avec beaucoup d’autres nettoyants.

C’est pile ce que je voulais. Juste après tout de suite suivre avec une essence ou un toner pour ne pas assécher la peau !! Bref je recommande vivement.

La première chose qui marque avec l’huile nettoyante hydratante au thé vert de Innisfree, que j’ai reçu en cadeau, est son parfum hyper frais, pas trop présent, mais très agréable. Le flacon est d’un design très neutre, sans chichis avec une applicateur qui fontionne bien.

Ca ne pique pas les yeux et ça enlève bien mon maquillage, très efficace alors. Ca laisse ma peau raffraichi et purifié, sans laisser une pellicule grasse. En plus c’est végan :).

IšverstiShow in original languageI found this product via a tiktok recommendation. I really wanted to like it. My skin is acne prone and pretty sensitive. I wanted to get something that doesn’t clog my pores, but this bottle leaks everywhere.

It’s disappointing because I like this product but the bottle feels defective and I feel like I’m wasting a good amount of the product because it keeps leaking. I’m thinking of not purchasing it again.

There are only a handful of reviews mentioning the leak. I’m not sure if it’s a select few of the bottle or what but I’d prefer for my skincare not to leak everywhere. I know I can’t travel with this product or take it for an overnight because it will get all over the place.

I’m currently debating on if I should repurchase this product, but I’m leaning to finding a different product until there is possibly a new design of the bottle that prevents leakage.

✨ SULWHASOO Gentle Cleansing Foam✨ CLAIMS What it is: A mild cleansing foam that effectively removes impurities while leaving skin moisturized. A Korean gel cleanser that gently pulls dirt, makeup, and grime from pores while softening skin with a nutrient-rich blend of botanical ingredients, including brightening citrus peel and chestnut shell extract.

What it does: The fine yet rich formula helps maintain hydrated, supple skin after cleansing. This cleansing foam gently removes dead skin cells without overstimulating the skin, leaving the skin clean, smooth and supple.

Non-ionic cleansing components allow for a rich lather and thorough cleanse. Made with botanical ingredients including duckweed and chestnut shell extracts, this foam cleanses the skin while leaving a supple moisture layer and a long-lasting relaxed, smooth feeling.

My EXPERIENCE ⭐️ My HG facial cleanser! I ❤️ Sulwhasoo products. It feels all gentle yet effective. ⭐️ Lathers and foams up nicely. No offensive scent. ⭐️ I have very dry skin and this doesn’t leave my skin feeling like all the moisture has been stripped off ⭐️ I use this with my #foreo luna and its like a pampering massage step for my skin and face.

⭐️ My choice of cleanser especially when my skin is irritated or raw from overexfoliating (guilty at times🤷‍♀️) ⭐️ Bigger bottle available for purchase but I got this small bottle from a set with the first care serum and cleansing oil.

#kbeauty #sulwhasoo #facecleanser #holygrail #cleanskin #skincare #clearskin #nourishedskin #gentle #foamy #dryskin #sensitiveskin #skinat40 200ml/6. 8fl. oz.

This oil cleanser from Sulwhasoo has been a super gentle product to my skin. I use it to remove my sunscreen and make-up mostly. I did say “most make-up” in my headline because it removes all hints of foundation, blush, brow pencil, eyeshadow, bronzer/any contouring I have on but only manages to partially remove my Fenty Beauty’s Flyliner for example, & mostly remove my Rare Beauty’s Perfect Strokes Mascara.

Aside, my skin has no complaints and it’s a fairly reactive, acne prone type. It’s best applied directly to the face to break down the crap on it and then wet your fingertips, massage the product all over till you get this milky lather and then rinse off.

Being lightweight liquid oil based it can be a bit messy when pumping the product out and into your hands etc. The bottle is simple in design and I think it’s cute this way. I also liked the box it came in, the brand design is tastefully simple.

4 out of 5 because it doesn’t remove make-up but not all make-up and at $53. 00 it should remove all make-up. BUT, you do get quite a bit of product in this bottle and mine has lasted what feels like an eternity, it is gently formulated and has been non-irritable to my skin and safe to use around the eyes.

Has a delicate scent and overall feels nice when first put on in its oil form and also after it’s been lathered up and doesn’t excessively dry my skin out once rinsed off.

This is worth the $$$ it takes off all my makeup up, sunscreen, waterproof mascara. I use this first and then rinse my face with water and it just melts everything away so smoothly. After I use a face cleanser to wash off the extra residue and my skin has no makeup left.

It is pricey but worth the money I have used other oil cleansers but they didn’t work as well after double cleansing I would always have to go back with a cotton pad and makeup remover to take off anything that wasn’t removed.

BUT with this product you do not need to do that. It does have a slight scent so if you’re not into scented skincare it may bug you. I usually don’t care to have fragrance in my skincare however this scent is aromatic.

What I recommend is when you pump the oil in your hands rub it in and then take your hands and just inhale the scent for a few seconds and breathe in deeply. It sounds weird but it honestly just relaxes you.

Perfect for the end of the day after all the stress you may have it just sets the mood for your skin care routine and grounds you. I’m telling you it’s a game changer! Inhale it for a few seconds and then go in and rub it on your face and let it do it’s magic.

IšverstiShow in original languageLove this natural, organic oil cleanser for my face. I can actually feel dirt being removed with the Seabuckthorn oil. Easy to warm a washcloth and wipe off. My face feels smooth,soft and extra clean.

I use 4 pumps on my face. I also enjoy the packaging with the Badger mascot. he’s so cute !! I will continue to use Badger products on my 60 year (old) “young” face. Also like the fact Badger cares about the environment in the production of all the products they create and sell.

100% satisfied !!!!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI like the ingredients of this product and appreciate the fact that it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals. However, performance is important to me too and this product does not meet my expectation.

Judging from the price, I thought it would be a high-quality, lightweight, pure oil but it turns out quite heavy and very greasy. Don’t get me wrong, I know it is 100% oil so I didn’t expect it to wash off easily like those quasi-oils mixed with chemicals that turn cloudy when they touch water.

However, this cleansing oil is just too hard to wash off. As a morning cleanser, it’s tolerable since you can soak up the oil with tissues before washing it off and it does leave your skin conditioned and moisturized.

But, as a make-up remover, it just isn’t ideal. Yes, it will remove your makeup and mineral sunscreen BUT it is EXTREMELY hard to wash off. When you try to wash everything (oil and makeup/mineral sunscreen) with warm water, your skin becomes so tacky and leaves a heavy film behind.

Even after I follow with a good foaming cleanser, my skin remains tacky and I can see a film on top of my skin that just repels water. I also got more acne after using this cleanser for less than 5 times! I think it could be because it fails to cleanse my skin so my pores are getting clogged.

This product gives me an unpleasant experience. I have used a high-quality cleansing oil before so I can tell the difference. I have never returned a product by mail before but I just don’t want to use it anymore.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have transitioned completely away from skincare that contains eleventy billion ingredients I can barely pronounce. I appreciate the short ingredient list (only 5!) and that Badger Co.

omitted scented essential oils, as my mild rosacea occasionally reacts to fragrance. My night-time cleansing routine is 2 pumps in the palm of my hand that I gently massage into face, neck, décolleté, backs of my hands, and up my forearms (not wasting any oil).

Then I apply a very warm and barely-damp unbleached muslin cloth to my face and hold for a count of 5. Then I gently wipe away the oil, and repeat the steam/hold/wipe step 2-3 more times. This method removes *all* traces of sunscreen (Badger, of course) and any mineral makeup I might be wearing.

Mornings I use only a warm muslin cloth to disperse facial oils that appeared overnight. I prefer using muslin because it is gentler and makes better contact with my skin than a nubby washcloth, which leaves behind more oil than I am comfortable with.

This cleanser is pure oil, so it does not emulsify and turn milky with water. For now (typical hot-and-humid New England July) the oil cleanser is all the moisture my face requires. I also purchased the Unscented Face Oil, which I look forward to using when the temperature and dew point drops.

IšverstiShow in original languageVery impressed with this cleanser. It is the gentlest and the most lightweight cleansing oil I have ever used. With its slippery and thin texture, it applies quite comfortably and the oil emulsifies with water and washes off completely leaving no residues.

I thought it is little too runny, but that was not a problem. Smell was not also my concern because I actually did not notice any bad fragrance and only thought it provides a luxurious ginger like smell and feeling.

I needed only one pump which was enough to thoroughly clean my makeup, including brow gel paint and waterproof mascara, and did not strip my skin dry. I felt my skin softer and more smooth after use followed by another step of water based cleanser.

Just this small deluxe size bottle lasted around two months. However, I could repurchase only it was cheaper.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis!!!! This BY FAR the most amazing oil cleanser I have EVER used!!! Idk what it is about this one but it literally deep cleaned all of my pores every time. I could feel the small grits that it would dislodge from my pores each use.

And I double cleanse every day, have used many oil cleanser and non of them truly like this one. It washed off super easy and clean, no oily film left behind, it made my skin feel hydrated as well. I can’t stress enough how deeply this cleanser for my pores.

I love it! Only downside is the price tag. $40 is a little higher than I like to spend on an oil cleanser but the amount of difference this one gives me over all others definitely justifies the cost for me.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe oil is very cool – it is comfortable to use, it does not flow. But at the same time, it is moderately liquid, it is convenient to massage the face, while the skin does not stretch, you do not need to put a lot of effort into the massage.

Dissolves cosmetics well. The application is simple – apply the oil to dry skin, massage a little over the face and then rinse with warm water. On contact with water, the oil turns into milk. A huge plus for this oil because it does not dry out the skin.

After application, the skin is clean, not taut, velvety to the touch 😊 and also smells good as a product (this is a plus for me). I highly recommend this oil. 👍.

IšverstiShow in original languageI love a good hybrid oil cleanser. The milky oil combo usually works well for my skin and doesn’t make me feel dried out. I’m lazy so I’m always looking for a good all-in-one cleanser that will remove my makeup.

I don’t wear a lot but its way easier than multiple steps with eye make up remover, cleanser etc. When I’m not wearing any makeup, I really like this cleanser. It makes my skin feel clean yet hydrated.

I love that it’s fragrance free, paraben free and SLS free. To really test out the SPF/makeup removal I did a full face. I did non-waterproof mascara, eyeliner and cream eye shadow on the eyes. While it did remove my SPF, concealer and light foundation, it made a total mess of my eye makeup.

It smeared it around and didn’t remove it at all. I had to go in afterwards with regular eye makeup remover to actually take it off. It also made my eyesight blurry and a bit irritated. My tried and true all in one is still La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser.

I rarely repurchase beauty products but I’ve gotten it multiple times. It does a killer job at eye makeup removal and cleansing (and 1/2 the cost of this). Get this Laneige cleanser for the cleansing aspect but don’t bank on it for makeup removal.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have been using this as a first cleanse to remove SPF and everyday makeup (although I do not wear makeup every day). I bought this to try instead of my usual cleansing balm; although I love cleansing balms, I found that using it on the daily was making my hairline greasy.

I wanted something lighter that would still be effective as a first cleanse. This works well at breaking down SPF, tinted moisturizer, and light eye makeup. On the one occasion I used it to remove a full face of makeup, I did admittedly use eye makeup remover, so can’t attest to its efficacy at removing a more glam eye, but it did remove my full coverage foundation, concealer, bronzer, etc.

I have sensitive, normal/dry skin with Rosacea and have not experienced any adverse side effects. The texture is light and milky, but once rubbed into the skin, seems to thicken. It also emulsifies well once water is added.

IšverstiShow in original languagethis cleanser isn’t oily, it’s milky. because of that, it’s poor at removing makeup, sunscreen, and whatnot. i don’t think this leaves a film so for a gentle cleansing step it could be good for that.

i have noticed a difference in my overall skin hydration after using this product for a bit over two months (i believe), but i could’ve achieved that with a different product. sometimes it stings my eyes too.

wont buy again. if you want to try the cream skin line do the toner. i only say i’d recommend this because it has its usage, it’s just not the one it’s intended and marketed for.

IšverstiShow in original languageLove love LOVE this cleansing oil! I’ve tried many, MANY cleansing oils and while there are plenty of good ones and it’s therefore relatively easy to find one that is gentle or easily removes ALL makeup or smells good or doesn’t clog your pores/irritate your skin or leaves you feeling clean rather than oily etc.

it’s not so easy to find one that does all of the above. This one is it. It removes even stubborn, long wear makeup like it’s nothing, without leaving a residue and without having to apply any pressure and yet is still baby gentle on the skin; and the eyes, for that matter.

I’ve seen a lot of people claim you can’t use it on the eyes and I’m not sure from whence this claim is coming, since it doesn’t say or even imply this anywhere on the bottle or box. I can only imagine it’s coming from the “suggested use” section, but the fact that it’s not explicitly mentioned there that it’s recommended for the eyes specifically isn’t the same as it being verboten.

Moreover, I’ve used it on my eyes daily for years and not only has it had no adverse effects, it’s actually been one of the MOST gentle on the eyes. (And while I obviously wouldn’t recommend putting it IN your eyes lol, it does happen to me occasionally, and it doesn’t make them sting or water or temporarily impair my vision etc.

when it does) It also doesn’t clog my pores like some cleansing oils, nor does it leave my skin feeling slimy or greasy, but smooth, soft and clean. The scent is subtle and pleasant, at least to me, and the oil is mild, easy and enjoyable to use.

My only word of caution would be that it does contain isopropyl palminate, which can cause clogged pores and acne in SOME people. Therefore, if you’ve had a reaction to it in the past, I’d definitely steer clear of this cleansing oil.

Likewise, if you find any scent at all distasteful, you may want to skip it. That said, I would absolutely recommend this product to everyone else.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’m so glad I found this! I was going through some serious depression and a hole in my skincare when my HG cleansing oil was discontinued (l’occitane immortalle cleansing oil).

I tried a lot of balms/ makeup removers/ oils but this one fit the bill by taking off my makeup (even my beat face), without stinging/ hurting my eyeballs, or excessive rubbing my lashes. Has not broken me out! I wear pretty heavy eye makeup-layered mascara, liner, shadow.

This takes all the mascara off (Note: I do not use waterproof mascara so I can’t attest to it’s performance to remove waterproof formulas. For reference My go to mascara’s that I have tried and tested this product with are Lancôme Mr.

Big, Dior, Marc Jacobs, Buxom and/ or benefit roller girl). The product- silky light weight oil that smells lightly herbal (I don’t mind it). It transforms into a milky textures when introduced to water.

Rinses off clean with no residue. Best way to use- dispense into hands and gently put on skin and eyes. Gently Massage in for a like a minute or 2 to ‘marinate’ and breakdown the makeups (really depends on how much cake I slapped on that day).

I massage another minute on eyes and get in to lashes. wet my hands and massage that bit of water in and let it transform (SLOWLY) into the milky texture. When I know all the mascara and liner of off, I rinse off.

Follow up with gel/ foam cleanser (favorite is: tarte deep dive) and then toner. Toner pad tells me if the makeup and gunk is all off. Happy to report- no makeup residue. On days when I don’t wear makeup but have sunscreen on (Hi ‘rona), I use this as my my only wash.

It’s super gentle, does not strip my skin. I also use this if my skin has become sensitized (over doing the exfoliation/ winter) bc it’s calming. One star off because I still have to let it ‘marinate’ on my skin/ lashes a wee bit to take off all makeup.

My skin type- 30’s, normal to combo (oily tzone), scare easy, The occasional Hormonal zit near ‘shark week’.

As a person with combination skin and problems with acne and large pores, the last thing I thought I would need is an oil cleanser; however, this one is amazing. This is easily one of my absolute favourite products, ever! – the scent is lovely, noticeable, but not strong – my skin feels super soft and clean after using it – my pores look clear and smaller – it washes off easily, as long as you follow the instructions, it doesn’t leave an oily feel – if wearing a lot of makeup, I would recommend a second cleanse – one small bottle lasts forever! I have been using the same one for a year.

One pump is all you need.

I always heard great things about Shu Uemura cleansing oils but never thought of trying them due to the high price tag. When I came across a Shu Uemura counter at a Duty Free shop in Korea, I jumped at the chance to take advantage of the exchange rate and the tax free benefits and bought two huge bottles.

I would have bought more if I knew how amazing this is! Usually after cleansing with a regular cleanser, I can rub my skin and debris (for lack of a better term) would rub off. I would wash my face multiple times to feel satisfied that my face is truly clean.

Not with this cleanser! When I initially apply the oil with dry hands onto my dry face, I can feel the oil melting away makeup. It’s extra pleasing when I get to my nose and can actually feel what was clogging my pores roll out.

I add a little water and cleanse everything away. I’m left with super soft skin that I know is clean. Also, there is no aggravation of my ultra sensitive skin. It’s perfect, besides the fact that my t-zone is still pretty oily.

I’ll still definitely keep using this as my go to.

This is my second favorite oil from Shu Uemura. The first one is Utime8. I love this for the amazing sakura smell. And of course it does a great job and melt away the makeup leaving my face extra clean, but not tight.

This oil is a bit thinner than famous Ultime8 and because of this more runny. I still may repurchase it because of amazing smell.
