innisfree Green Tea Amino Acid Cleansing Oil — Hydrating Makeup & Sunscreen Remover, Jojoba Oil emulsion

innisfree Green Tea Amino Acid Cleansing Oil is a lightweight, hydrating oil cleanser that lifts makeup, sunscreen and impurities without leaving skin tight.

This gentle Korean cleansing oil blends beauty green tea extract, amino acids and five botanical oils — including green tea seed and jojoba — to dissolve oil-based residue while maintaining skin's moisture balance. Designed as the first step in a double-cleanse routine, it transforms from oil to milky emulsion when water is added, rinsing away cleanly to create a fresh base for serums and moisturizers. The formula is also certified vegan and formulated to feel lightweight on contact, so it works for daily removal of makeup and SPF.

How does this cleansing oil remove makeup and sunscreen?

The formula uses oil-soluble ingredients to break down long-wear makeup, waterproof sunscreen and excess sebum. Massage onto dry skin to dissolve products, then emulsify with water to lift the dissolved particles and rinse them away, leaving no waxy residue.

• Oil-first texture dissolves oil-based products and pigments quickly.
• Emulsifies into a milky texture for easy rinsing without slickness.
• Contains jojoba and green tea seed oil for gentle, effective solubilization.
• Suitable for removing sunscreen, foundation and eye makeup when used with gentle pressure.

Will it dry out or leave skin feeling stripped?

innisfree formulated this cleansing oil to be hydrating rather than stripping. Amino acids and green tea extract help preserve the skin’s moisture feel after rinsing, and an independent consumer study found most users did not experience tightness following use.

• Amino acids support a softer, less-tight finish after cleansing.
• Green tea extract soothes and helps retain moisture during the cleanse.
• Lightweight oil blend avoids heavy residue while hydrating skin surface.

How should I use it in my skincare routine?

Use this oil as the first step in a double-cleanse: apply on dry skin to dissolve oils and makeup, emulsify with water into a lotion-like milk, then rinse. Follow with a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities and prepare skin for treatment products.

• Pump 2–3 times into dry palms and massage onto dry face in circular motions.
• Add a little water to emulsify, continue massaging, then rinse with lukewarm water.
• Follow with your regular foam or gel cleanser for a thorough double cleanse.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

The gentle, non-stripping profile and plant-derived oils make it a good option for many skin types, including combination and some sensitive skin. As with any new product, patch testing is recommended if you have known sensitivities or reactive skin.

• Hydrating, lightweight oils reduce the chance of over-drying sensitive areas.
• Works well on combination skin by targeting excess sebum without overdrying cheeks.
• Patch test on the inner wrist or behind the ear before full-face use if concerned.

Who is this for: This cleansing oil is for anyone who wears makeup or daily sunscreen and wants a gentle, hydrating first cleanse that removes oil-based impurities without leaving a heavy film. It's especially useful for people who prefer a smooth, moisturizing cleanse before their water-based cleanser, and for anyone seeking a vegan, plant-infused oil to add to a Korean-style double-cleansing routine.
