I’ve tried so many cleansing oils, but I always come back to Sulwhasoo’s Gentle Cleansing Oil. Its biggest strength is how effortlessly it melts makeup while being incredibly gentle on the skin. After rinsing, my face feels comfortably hydrated with zero tightness or irritation.

It’s definitely on the pricier side, but I haven’t found anything better than this cleansing oil, so I keep repurchasing it.

As someone with extremely dry skin, my face usually feels horribly tight right after washing. But this Gentle Cleansing Oil leaves my skin feeling as baby soft and hydrated as if I’ve already applied skincare! It dissolves sunscreen and foundation in one go, leaving a fresh finish with zero greasy film—no need for a second step with a foaming cleanser.

Bad cleansing oils leave a gross greasy film behind, but this one has incredible cleansing power and rinses off completely clean without any slick residue.

This deep cleansing oil cleanses all the way down to the pores, washing away pollution buildup and waterproof makeup residue completely. When mixed with water, the oil emulsifies into a fine, silky lather that rinses clean, leaving only soft, hydrated skin behind.

There’s definitely a reason why this is so famous! As someone with sensitive, dehydrated oily skin, other oil cleansers immediately cause breakouts, but this oil hasn’t triggered a single blemish! A small pump melts makeup completely. The price tag is slightly high, but it’s worth it.

Incredible cleansing power! Best of all, after using this for a month, I can visibly see that the blackheads on my nose have dissolved away. Love that my face doesn’t feel tight after washing.

Mild, gentle, and non-irritating, which is why I keep repurchasing it. It doesn’t feel sticky and emulsifies and rinses off easily with water.
