None compare to this product!

This is by far the best makeup remover I have ever used. My rosacea skin gets very dry and irritated, especially during New York winters and drier seasons. This makeup remover not only removes all makeup, even waterproof formulas, it leaves my skin so comfortable and unirritated. Sulwhasoo is the best!!!!

Not a fan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am giving the Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover a one star because not only did it make my face break out but it did not remove my makeup very easily. I do not cake on my makeup but removing it seemed like I had layers upon layers or something. It just would not come off. It claims to be gentle but it still made my face break out, along with their gentle cleansing foam. I really wish I could find something that suited my sensitive skin. It never used to be like that. This review was done in exchange for an educational promotion.

Awesome, used to replace MAC cleanser

Was looking for something similar to the MAC oil cleanse off, this is just like it, if not better and smoother and cleaner! Got the small size to try it out and immediately ordered the bigger size.

Lovely cleanser

I've been using this cleanser for a few weeks and I'm really enjoying how it feels on my skin and how it cleans. It rinses off much easier than other oil cleansers I've used in the past. I'll be buying the bigger size soon!

Treat yourself!

The light scent is heavenly. Has a minty balsam smell that is very refreshing. Most importantly it takes off every aspect of your makeup resulting in a refreshed and moisturized clean feel. I only need one pump to do my entire face and neck. Love. I will continue to buy once this runs out.

Like it but still getting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like it but still getting used to using oil as a cleanser and not just an application to remove makeup. In combination with the water based cleanser it’s fantastic.

Gentle, perfect for combo skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This formula has been great for my combo skin, I wear makeup and spf everyday so I need something that is going to deeply cleanse my skin and pores out thoroughly and this works amazing! I haven't gotten any breakouts or clogged pores while using this daily. It can be used as a unisex product if your partner wants to try, my partner loved it and he usually sticks to drugstore products! He works as a mechanic and we noticed his pores are no longer clogged and stopped breaking out. I use one pump and two on a heavy makeup or sweaty day! *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

So soft and smoothy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sulwashoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is a great addition to any skincare routine! It helps dissolve makeup and daily impurities while leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed. I love the idea of a gentle cleansing oil that makes removing makeup feel effortless without a harsh, stripped feeling. It’s a wonderful option for anyone looking to upgrade their double-cleansing routine. Highly recommend giving it a try if you love clean, fresh, and well-cared-for skin! Its amazing make up remover.

It’s really good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I used it on my face for the first time, I understood why this brand is so famous for skincare. I was surprised by how effective and easy it is to use; it has a texture like butter—lightweight, yet it performs its job perfectly without feeling heavy at all. The day I tried it, I was very tired and wanted a quick way to wash my face, and I was extremely satisfied with the results. For context, I use long-wear makeup—including foundation and setting spray—and this product handled it all. Usually, I remove my makeup first with micellar water and then follow up with another cleanser, since my makeup is heavy-duty, but this time, this single product was all I needed.
