Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil 6.76 fl oz — Lightweight herbal oil cleanser, dissolves makeup and hydrates

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is a lightweight herbal cleansing oil that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and impurities while leaving skin feeling balanced and hydrated.

Inspired by traditional Korean botanicals and modern formulation, this cleansing oil blends Coix Lacryma-Jobi (Job's Tears) seed extract and tangerine peel with apricot kernel oil to lift away makeup, daily grime and excess sebum without stripping the skin. It is designed to be massaged onto dry skin then rinsed with lukewarm water, supporting a clear, refreshed complexion and preparing skin for the rest of your routine.

How does this cleansing oil remove even waterproof makeup?

The oil-based formula dissolves oil-soluble substances like long-wear foundations, mascara and sunscreen by breaking their bond with the skin. When you massage the oil into dry skin it emulsifies on contact with water, allowing residues to rinse away cleanly rather than smearing or tugging.

• Oil-based solvent action lifts oil-soluble makeup
• Massage application loosens dirt without rubbing or pulling
• Emulsifies with water for easy rinsing and no greasy finish

What botanicals are included and what do they contribute?

Sulwhasoo combines traditional Korean botanicals with nourishing carrier oil for gentle cleansing. Coix Lacryma-Jobi (Job's Tears) seed extract and tangerine peel extract are included for their historical use in Korean skincare, while apricot kernel oil provides mild exfoliating fatty acids and emollience to soften skin.

• Coix seed extract — traditional botanical used in Korean skincare
• Tangerine peel extract — aromatic botanical with cleansing traditions
• Apricot kernel oil — lightweight emollient that helps smooth and soften

How should I use Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil in my routine?

Use morning and night as the first step in a double-cleanse or as your main cleanser depending on your needs. Dispense into dry hands, massage in circular motions across dry face to dissolve makeup and impurities, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water; follow with your usual water-based cleanser or treatment products.

• Apply to dry hands and dry face for best dissolving action
• Massage starting at the forehead, then nose and cheeks to lift impurities
• Rinse with lukewarm water and continue with your skincare regimen

Will this product work for my skin type and will it leave skin dehydrated?

This cleansing oil is formulated to be lightweight and hydrating rather than stripping, so it suits a wide range of skin types including normal, dry, and combination. Because it relies on gentle botanical extracts and apricot kernel oil, it helps remove impurities while preserving skin moisture; follow with a water-based cleanser if you prefer a deeper cleanse.

• Lightweight texture appropriate for many skin types
• Designed to remove impurities without over-drying
• Can be paired with a second cleanser for extra clarity

Who is this for: Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is suited for anyone seeking a plant-infused, oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen and daily impurities without harsh rubbing or dryness. It fits people who prefer gentle, traditional botanicals combined with modern formulation—especially those who wear long-wear or waterproof cosmetics and want a cleansing step that leaves skin feeling refreshed and ready for subsequent skincare products.
