Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil - 1.69 fl oz Lightweight Korean double-cleanse oil, silky texture, removes waterproof makeup

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is a lightweight Korean oil cleanser that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while leaving skin feeling hydrated and balanced.

Designed as the first step in the traditional Korean double-cleansing routine, this silky cleansing oil uses plant-powered complexes to dissolve stubborn, waterproof makeup and excess sebum without stripping moisture. The formula combines a Hydra Capture Complex™ of four herbal extracts with a Korean Herbal Oil Complex to nourish and support skin comfort after rinsing. It’s presented in a travel-friendly 1.69 fl. oz. size that suits daily use and trial tryouts.

How quickly does it remove waterproof makeup?

The oil is engineered to break down long-wearing cosmetics and sunscreen on contact: massage a few drops over dry skin and watch makeup dissolve without aggressive rubbing. Rinse or follow with a water-based cleanser for a complete double-cleanse.

• Silky oil texture that emulsifies on contact with water
• Effective on waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, and sunscreen
• Works with minimal friction—gentle on delicate eye and lip areas

Will this leave my skin dry or greasy?

This formula aims to cleanse deeply while maintaining skin comfort by delivering botanical hydration during rinse-off. The Hydra Capture Complex™ helps skin retain moisture after cleansing, and most testers reported feeling moisturized rather than tight.

• Hydra Capture Complex™ supports hydration post-cleanse
• Korean Herbal Oil Complex nourishes and softens skin
• Lightweight finish—removes oil without a heavy residue

How should I use it in my skincare routine?

Use the cleansing oil as the first step of a double-cleanse: apply to dry skin, gently massage to dissolve makeup and impurities, emulsify with water, then rinse. Follow with Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam or another water-based cleanser for a thorough final cleanse.

• Apply 2–3 pumps to dry face and massage for 30–60 seconds
• Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse completely
• Finish with your preferred foam or gel cleanser

Is it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

The product is formulated for all skin types and focuses on gentle, non-irritating removal of makeup and impurities. In a small home usage survey, the majority of participants agreed the oil felt comfortable and left skin moisturized after daily use.

• Gentle formulation designed to minimize irritation
• Light texture suitable for normal, dry, combination, and oily skin
• Recommended as the first step for thorough but gentle cleansing
