cleansing oil

Oily makeup remover

Cleansing oil is a skincare product used to remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities from the face.

The oil binds to oil-based substances on the skin, then emulsifies with water to rinse clean without stripping natural moisture: I use a cleansing oil as the first step in my routine.

Often part of double-cleansing methods popular in Korean skincare.
