Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil Waterproof Makeup Remover for Sensitive, Acne-Prone Facial Skin. Korean Skin Care for Men and Women, 210ml, 7.1 fl.oz

Edit: Okay, so I have decided to edit after a few days of using this cleansing oil, and give it the other ⭐, because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product! Since writing my first review, I have discovered just how beautiful this cleansing oil really is. I wipe my face with warm water on a makeup wash cloth, put a couple of pumps of the oil in my hand, and just drip a few drops of warm water onto the oil in my hand, and immediately, it starts to turn like...creamy and white - not a frothy foam, but like milk in my hands. Then, I massage the creamy oil into my skin, and it doesn't really lather, so much as it seems to just become no longer oily. When I wipe it away, it leaves my skin just so...CLEAN and soft, but not feeling like it has stripped my face of all moisture like my benzoyl peroxide face wash does. It's bouncy and dewy and smooth. The other up side is that I don't have to wash my under eye areas separately with a gentle cleanser (I was using baby shampoo before buying this cleanser, and washing it first so that I didn't get benzoyl peroxide into my delicate under eye areas, which would have dried it out and caused worse fine lines). I can use this oil to gently wash my under eye area with my finger tips and to wash off my eye makeup if I'm wearing any, because it is so gentle and it adds moisture, instead of taking it away. My skin hasn't looked this good in decades - if EVER! I'm 41, and my skin looks better than it did at 31...or 21 for that matter, because for the first time in I can't remember when, I have ZERO blemishes, and - TMI, but: I'm in that point in my cycle when I'm usually having the worst breakouts, but not a single pimple or blackhead or bump of any kind. NOTHING has done so much for my skin as this oil has. Not retinol, not salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide not an expensive cream or serum - nothing!I used to DREAD washing my face, because I had to take care not to get any under my eyes or on my neck, and had to thoroughly get all of it off when rinsing, etc, but this cleansing oil has turned my least favorite part of my skin care routine into my FAVORITE part! And I no longer dislike the smell; I now associate it with the lovely experience. I WILL be reordering! I'm even contemplating buying one to use in the shower! Seriously.If you are interested in trying an oil-based face wash, but you're an oily or combination skin type, THIS is the one to try! It's now ESSENTIAL to my skin care routine. Did I say I LOVE it?!Original review: So, first of all, I'm VERY impressed with the shipping. I ordered it after 11am, and it was on my porch by 4. Having two toddlers and no time to leave the house, that is just VERY convenient.On to its quality: it feels very light and left my skin feeling clean and soft, and did not make me greasy. I did enjoy the spa-like feeling, too. It wiped clean with just warm water and a microfiber towel that's made for makeup removal.However, my biggest issue is with the smell. It stinks. BUT, as a girl who grew up on the border of Appalachia and the Midwest, I recognize that smell: it's ginseng. While I don't usually desire scents in my skin care products, I would probably have approved of some modification of the smell of this particular product. That said, I'm going to continue using it BECAUSE of the ginseng and its antioxidant properties...but I'll probably follow it up with a toner that DOESN'T stink. lolI'm an oily skin girl, and so far I don't think it's going to make things worse - especially since I'm still in the 6-8 week retinol purge, so not much CAN make it worse...ugh! AND my skin probably needs the addition of oil to prevent any dryness retinol may cause later on down the road.I'm going to use this product up, and I'll decide when it gets close to empty whether or not I'm going to reorder. So far, so good. Excellent price for what you get too, so if you're looking for an effective oil cleanser that isn't just canola or coconut oil that will leave you greasy, this is the one.Time will tell, and I'll be back - good or bad.

Moisturizing, effective, non-eye irritatingIf you have dry sensitive skin like me you need this product. For the price its extremely worth it. I used to be worried about these oil-based cleansers because some can actually lead to pore clogging. This one actually prevents clogged pores because of its effectiveness at picking up debris and excess oils. Once in contact with water it becomes soap-like and washes away without leaving my skin feeling totally stripped of all its natural oils. Make sure you apply it with dry hands to a dry face for maximum cleansing effect.I would recommend this routine to anyone:- oil base cleanser (remove bulk oils and makeup)- water base cleanser (optional, additional deep cleans)- salicylic acid & retinol serums (for dewy skin and acne prevention)- simple moisturizer: spf vitimin c for morning and deep moisturizer for night

I use this to remove my makeup, and prior to using a regular, non-oil based cleanser. I find it removes waterproof mascara very well. Rinses clean, without leaving any residue or stripping my skin. I used to use DHC's version but after realizing they sell in China (which means animal testing!) I switched to this brand instead. I've used it for a few months now and it's a great replacement.

This oil cleanser does a magnificent job of taking off the days makeup and sunscreen. It dissolves your makeup off and moisturizes your face at the same time. I use it as my first step in washing my face. I finish with a foaming cleanser and a toner. This is a great affordable 1st step to your skin cleansing routine. I also massage my face gently with this hydrating oil. The price is right but you have to use as least three squirts of it per face wash. The bottle is going quickly. But compared to other oil cleansers the price is affordable.

Great oil cleanser! I use this in the shower to remove my face sunscreen and makeup. The key to any oil cleanser is to work it in to dry skin first and THEN add water to emulsify it. I rinse it off completely and then follow up with a salicylic face wash. I use two pumps so it lasts a long time for me--I'd estimate about 4-5 months honestly :) I have normal-oily skin and I break out pretty easily if I introduce a product to my routine that doesn't agree with my skin. This has never caused any breakouts for me. I don't notice a strong fragrance either. Great value for the price! I've repurchased three times and will continue to repurchase.

Pros & Cons:Pros: it works BUT when I say I was rubbing my face for 20 min for any sebaceous filaments to come out I’m not even joking! Also please be mindful, you do it first when your skin is dry, once finished use a bit of water to emulsify & remove the mask. Another pro, I didn’t get any bizarre film or build up. My skin felt really nice, clean & soft with this as a stand alone. Washed off really easily too!Cons: you have to work super hard for it to do anything. Like I said I was going hard for 20 mins! Not worth the price in my opinion.Overall, it did pull sebum/build up out of my skin but I would say there’s better (cheaper & pricier) out there. If you want something gentle that you can use frequently and you don’t mind putting in the extra time then go for it. Personally, I will probably not be repurchasing. I can’t justify the price for the effort. And I’m someone who has no issue spending hundreds on 1 product for my skin.

Love this only thing I'll use

Great oil cleanser! I use this as the first step in my double cleanse, and it leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and hydrated. I love the way it feels, and the scent is pleasant.
