Oil Cleansers

Healthy, glowing skin begins with proper cleansing. In Korean skincare, the first step of your routine starts with an oil cleanser. This essential product deeply cleanses the skin, removing impurities like excess sebum for a fresh, balanced complexion.

What is an oil cleanser?

A cleansing oil is an oil-based cleanser specifically designed to effectively remove dirt, makeup, excess oil, and impurities. This product works on the principle of “oil dissolves oil.” This means that the natural oils in the cleanser attract dirt and impurities, such as blackheads, without drying out your skin.

Why oil cleansers are a must in K-Beauty

Double cleansing is central to the Korean skincare routine, and a cleansing oil is the first step. Using an oil cleanser has many benefits. It effectively removes makeup, including waterproof products, and leaves the skin feeling soft. Thanks to nourishing natural oils, the skin stays hydrated while excess oil and dirt are removed.

How to use an oil cleanser

Using a light cleansing oil is simple and effective. You start with dry hands and a dry face. Apply a small amount of the oil to your skin and gently massage it in with circular motions. This helps to loosen makeup dirt and excess oil. Next, add a little lukewarm water, which turns the oil into a gentle cleanser. Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water and follow with a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. This double cleanse ensures that your skin is deeply and thoroughly cleansed.

How to find the right oil cleanser for you?

There are numerous oil cleansers on the market, each with unique properties to suit different skin types and needs. For dry skin, mild cleansing oils with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or sunflower oil are ideal.

Do you have oily or acne-prone skin? Then, choose light cleansing oils with ingredients such as tea tree oil or centella to balance sebum. For sensitive skin, formulas with aloe vera and glycerin are recommended, while products with green tea extract are perfect for normal or combination skin. Avoid formulas with mineral oils if you have sensitive skin.
