Hanskin PHA Pore Cleansing Oil — Lightweight Double-Cleansing Oil 10.14oz, Plant-Based for Sensitive Skin

Hanskin PHA Pore Cleansing Oil is a lightweight, plant-based cleansing oil formulated to remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum while supporting sensitive skin's moisture balance.

This Korean cleansing oil comes in an XL 10.14oz bottle made for daily use as the first step in a double-cleansing routine. It uses PHA (polyhydroxy acid) to gently exfoliate and help clear pore-clogging debris without stripping skin, and blends plant-derived oils like jojoba, olive, and grape seed with soothing aloe vera to leave skin feeling clean, comfortable, and hydrated.

How does this oil remove long-wear makeup and sunscreen?

The formula is oil-compatible, so it dissolves oil-based products such as waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, and chemical sunscreens. It spreads easily over dry skin, breaks down stubborn products, and then emulsifies into a milky texture when water is added for easy rinsing.

• Apply 1–2 pumps to dry skin to dissolve makeup and sebum.
• Massage gently to lift pigments and residues from pores.
• Add water to emulsify, turning the oil into a rinseable milky cleanser.

Is Hanskin PHA Pore Cleansing Oil suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

Yes — the inclusion of PHA offers mild exfoliation with low irritation risk compared to stronger acids, and the blend of plant oils and aloe helps preserve hydration. The lightweight texture cleans without leaving a greasy film, making it comfortable for sensitive, dry, and combination skin types when used as directed.

• PHA provides gentle exfoliation and supports skin comfort.
• Jojoba, olive, and grape seed oils help maintain natural moisture.
• Aloe vera adds calming hydration after cleansing.

How do I use it in a double-cleansing routine?

This oil is intended as step one of a double cleanse to remove surface impurities; follow with a water-based cleanser to finish. The method is simple and quick: massage on dry skin, emulsify with water, rinse, then continue with your normal second cleanse and skincare steps.

• Step 1: Dispense 1–2 pumps onto dry hands and massage over dry face.
• Step 2: Add lukewarm water to emulsify into a milky texture, then rinse thoroughly.
• Step 3: Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser to complete the double cleanse.

What ingredients should I expect and how do they help?

The formula emphasizes plant-derived oils and hydrating actives to cleanse effectively while preserving skin’s barrier. Ingredients like jojoba and grape seed oil dissolve impurities, olive oil supports lipid balance, aloe vera soothes, and PHA gently exfoliates for clearer pores without harsh irritation.

• Jojoba oil: mimics skin lipids to remove sebum gently.
• Grape seed & olive oils: lightweight cleansing and conditioning.
• PHA: mild chemical exfoliation for pore clarity and comfort.
• Aloe vera: calming hydration post-cleanse.

Who is this for: Hanskin PHA Pore Cleansing Oil is aimed at shoppers who want a gentle yet effective first-cleanse product — especially those wearing long-wear makeup or sunscreen and people with sensitive, dry, or combination skin seeking a hydrating, plant-forward option. The XL 10.14oz size suits daily use or shared household bathrooms, and it works best when paired with a mild water-based cleanser as part of a regular double-cleansing routine.
