Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil — 6.76 fl oz Hydrating, Makeup-Removing Cleanser

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is a lightweight Korean cleansing oil that dissolves waterproof makeup, SPF and daily impurities while leaving skin hydrated and balanced.

This silky cleansing oil blends traditional Korean botanicals with modern emollients to lift away makeup and residue without stripping the skin. Formulated with Coix Lacryma-Jobi (Job's Tears) seed extract and tangerine peel extract, plus apricot kernel oil, it supports a clean, refreshed complexion and smooth skin texture. The 6.76 fl. oz. bottle delivers a plant-forward first-step cleanse suitable for daily use as part of your AM and PM routine.

How does this cleansing oil remove waterproof makeup and SPF?

The formula uses oil-soluble ingredients to break down water-resistant cosmetics and sunscreen molecules, allowing them to be rinsed clean without aggressive rubbing. It emulsifies on contact with water, turning milky for easy removal and minimal residue.

• Apricot kernel oil helps dissolve stubborn makeup and dead skin buildup.
• Oil-based solubilizers let the product emulsify and rinse fully with lukewarm water.
• Gentle massage action lifts impurities without tugging sensitive skin.

Will it leave my skin dry or greasy after use?

Designed to balance cleansing and hydration, this oil cleans without stripping natural lipids. After rinsing, skin should feel clean, smooth and lightly moisturized rather than tight or oily.

• Lightweight emollients absorb quickly to avoid a heavy film.
• Botanical extracts soothe and help maintain a comfortable skin feel.
• Works well as step one of a double-cleanse for deeper renewal.

Which skin types is Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil best suited for?

Although especially welcome for dry complexions thanks to its hydrating properties, the formula is gentle enough for most skin types when used as instructed. It supports normal and combination skin by removing impurities while preserving moisture.

• Dry skin: replenishing emollients help prevent post-cleanse tightness.
• Combination/normal: removes oil and makeup without overdrying.
• Sensitive: fragrance-minimal approach reduces irritation risk (patch test recommended).

How do I use the cleansing oil for best results?

Apply to dry hands and dry face for the most effective makeup breakdown, then emulsify with water and rinse. Regular use as part of morning and evening routines helps maintain a clear, even-looking complexion.

• Dispense a generous pump onto dry palms and massage onto dry skin in circular motions.
• Focus on areas with waterproof makeup or sunscreen, then add lukewarm water to emulsify and continue massaging.
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with your usual water-based cleanser or skincare steps.

Who this is for: This cleansing oil is aimed at people who wear makeup or sunscreen regularly and want a gentle yet effective first cleanse that preserves skin hydration. It's particularly useful for those with dry or combination skin seeking a nourishing, botanical-infused remover, and for anyone who prefers oil-based makeup dissolvers that rinse clean without excessive residue. Ideal for daily morning and evening use as part of a balanced skincare regimen.
