Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil — Jumbo 13.52 fl. oz. Korean Oil Cleanser, Hydrating Double-Cleanse for Dry & Sensitive Skin

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

Designed as the first step in a double-cleansing routine, this jumbo 13.52 fl. oz. bottle combines herbal oil complexes and a Hydra Capture Complex™ to remove residue without stripping the skin. It’s formulated for all skin types and aims to dissolve sebum, sunscreen and even waterproof makeup while supporting moisture retention after rinsing.

How does this oil cleanser remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen?

The oil-based formula breaks down oil-based products and pigments more effectively than water-based cleansers, dissolving long-wear makeup and SPF so they rinse away cleanly. Gentle emulsifiers allow the oil to turn milky when mixed with water, lifting impurities without leaving an oily film.

• Designed to dissolve waterproof makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.
• Emulsifies for easy rinsing to prevent residue on skin.
• Large 13.52 fl. oz. size suited for daily use and longer routines.

What herbal ingredients keep skin feeling hydrated after cleansing?

Sulwhasoo’s Hydra Capture Complex™ blends four herbal extracts chosen to support moisture balance following cleansing, while a Korean Herbal Oil Complex provides nourishing lipids. Together, they aim to help skin feel soft and comfortable rather than tight or parched after use.

• Hydra Capture Complex™: a four-herb blend that helps maintain post-cleanse hydration.
• Korean Herbal Oil Complex: plant-based oils that help soften and condition skin.
• Formulated to balance cleansing strength with skin comfort.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

The lightweight texture is designed to clear away dirt and makeup without aggressive stripping, making it suitable for dry and sensitive skin types when used as directed. The formula’s focus on gentle cleansing plus hydrating botanical complexes helps reduce the likelihood of post-wash tightness.

• Recommended as a first-step oil cleanser in double cleansing routines.
• Leaves skin feeling moisturized—93% agreement in a user trial.
• Non-irritating, designed to keep skin comfortable after cleansing.

How should I use this in my skincare routine for best results?

Apply a few pumps to dry hands and massage over dry face to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then add water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a water-based cleanser, like Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam, to complete the double cleanse and prepare skin for serums and moisturizers.

• Massage onto dry skin to break down makeup and SPF.
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse completely before foaming cleanser.
• Use daily as step one of a double-cleansing routine for clearer skin.

Who is this for: Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is aimed at anyone looking for an effective first-step cleanser that removes heavy makeup and sunscreen while supporting post-cleanse hydration. It’s especially useful for those practicing Korean-style double cleansing, people who wear long-wear or waterproof cosmetics, and anyone with dry or sensitive skin seeking a gentler, hydrating oil cleanser in a large, economical size.
