Black Oil Pore Purifying Fresh Cleansing Oil

I bought this because I was concerned about my pores. I'm the type who likes to take care of blackheads with cleansing products regularly, and after using this for a few days, I could see an effect on my blackheads. It blends into my skin well, and I especially like that it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy after rinsing. It emulsifies pretty quickly, and it was easy to use since I could rinse it off without any issues even when my hands were wet. I usually use a different cleanser and use this one when I'm concerned about my pores or blackheads.

Anua

Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil

I gave it this rating because I personally don't like taking a long time to remove my makeup, and I didn't like how it still felt greasy even after rinsing it off. My mom, who bought it with me, felt the same way, so I don't think it's suitable for anyone who wants to remove their makeup quickly. It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight or dry, so maybe it's good for people with dry skin?

Rejuran

Moisture Bubble Cleansing Water

A cleansing water developed by a cosmetics research expert to care for irritated skin!! It's a bubble cleanser, but I use it as a face wash 🫧 Since it's a foam type, it's super convenient to use in the morning 👍 Also, since it's pH 5.5, it's gentle on the skin, so people with sensitive skin can use it too! As a cleanser, it's too gentle, and if you want a face wash there are other products If you're using it as a cleanser, the reason it has to be this one is because

Perfect One

Smooth Cleansing Balm VC7

I've repurchased this so many times❣️ It removes makeup really well without leaving my skin feeling tight, and it also makes my pores less noticeable. VC7 is seriously so much better than the regular one, so I want you to try it at least once!!!!

Attenir

Skin Clear Cleanse Oil

This impressed me more than any other oil cleanser I've ever used! The texture is a thicker type of cleansing oil. It glides smoothly over my skin without tugging. It removes makeup thoroughly, but doesn't leave my skin feeling tight at all. I have dry skin, so I'm scared to use it every day and use it about twice a week. It also has a lovely citrus scent that's so soothing 🎶

Attenir

Skin Clear Cleanse Oil

I've repurchased this several times, buying refills. I often cleanse in the bath, so I like that it's easy to use even if a little water gets on it. It emulsifies at just the right speed—not too fast or too slow—and is easy to use even with slightly wet hands. It provides a decent amount of pore care and can remove even fairly heavy makeup to some extent, so I recommend it for everyday use. I also like that it doesn't feel sticky after rinsing, yet it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. It comes in different scents, so I'm happy I can choose one based on my mood or preference.

Shu Uemura

Brightoil Radiance Boost Soothing Cleansing Oil

I originally used Ultime8, and when this new product came out, I decided to give it a try. I didn't have any particular complaints about the original one, but since this one has "brightening" in the name, I bought it hoping it might improve clarity and help with dullness. To get straight to the point, I don't know if it had any effect on clarity. I've repurchased it twice and have now been using it for just under a year. However, rather than "making my skin whiter," I do think it helped make my skin "less prone to dullness." Also, Ultime8 leaves my skin feeling very moisturized after washing, and it feels really rich and nourishing, but this one feels a little more refreshing by comparison. The texture itself is also very runny. At first, you'll probably spill quite a bit between pumping it into your palm and bringing it up to your face. (lol) I have oily skin and don't like feeling moisturized after cleansing, so I preferred this one. People with dry skin or those who prefer their skin to feel moisturized after washing may prefer Ultime8. It might also be good to switch between them, like using Brightoil in the summer or morning and Ultime8 in the winter.

Attenir

Skin Clear Cleanse Oil

I'm an oil cleanser person. Even among oils, I prefer thick, rich ones over runny ones, and this is definitely an oil I'd recommend to anyone who likes a thick, syrupy texture. The thickness makes it feel like it clings to the skin and really grabs onto makeup. The thickness and scent feel so nice that I don't mind taking the time to massage it around. As for removing makeup, I can't say it effortlessly removes heavier eye and lip makeup, but I think this alone is plenty for everyday makeup. I also like how my skin feels clean yet moisturized after rinsing.

Attenir

Skin Clear Cleanse Oil

This is my third bottle, and it's a cleanser I want to keep using forever. It has a thick texture and feels really frictionless on the skin. Foundation and heavy makeup came right off just by working it in. It emulsifies quickly too, so it's easy to use. I absolutely love the citrus scent—it has an elegant, spa-like fragrance! There's no need to double cleanse, and it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after washing, just nicely moisturized, so I often use only Attenir for both makeup removal and cleansing. However, I haven't really noticed much of an effect on clogged pores.

Numbuzin

No.3 Bifida Bakuchiol Zero Pore Cleansing Oil

I bought this because I was drawn to the concept of washing with a serum formulated with fermented ingredients. It's a fairly lightweight cleansing oil. Since it isn't heavy, it glides easily over the skin. It emulsifies quickly too, which is nice. But it's hard to remove eye makeup... I use mascara remover first to loosen my mascara, then cleanse over it, but the eyeliner right along my lower lash line won't come off unless I rub quite a lot 💦 If I don't use mascara remover, even after rinsing off the cleansing oil, I have black mascara smudges under my eyes. It does remove my base makeup properly, and my skin feels moisturized without feeling tight afterward, which is nice, but... I think it's better to use a separate eye makeup remover for all your eye makeup, not just mascara remover. It says it helps care for pores too! but I haven't noticed any improvement in my pore concerns.

Attenir

Skin Clear Cleanse Oil Smooth Black

This was my first time buying cosmetics from Attenir. Since I'm really self-conscious about my pores, I'm a sucker for phrases like "eliminates pores" and "removes sebum and grime"... Even at my beauty clinic, I focus on pore care. I knew that Attenir's yellow cleansing oil was the regular one, but I bought the "Smooth Black" next to it. The results exceeded my expectations. In the morning I wash my face as usual (I use Rejuran), and at night I use this cleansing oil. It's now day 12. As you can see in the photos, the gunk in my pores is gone. When using this cleanser, I applied the gel, massaged it in well, got in the bath, left it on for about 10 minutes, then rinsed it off with lukewarm water while massaging in circles. One day, while washing my face, a sebum plug just slid right out without me even applying pressure, and I was honestly so impressed... These are the results after 12 days. The gunk is gone from my biggest pore. During those 12 days, I didn't do any pore care differently from usual besides using this cleanser. As you can see in the images (I converted them to black and white so the pores would be easy to see regardless of skin tone), there's an obvious difference in how noticeable my pores are. The difference is obvious even to the naked eye. I'm seriously amazed. The cleansing gel + light massage brought the grime to the surface. There's no need to double cleanse, it's gentle on my skin, and my skin didn't feel tight after washing. I can take care of my pores without it feeling harsh on my skin, so I want to keep repurchasing it.

Anua

Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil

I've repurchased this cleansing oil about three times. When I used other oils, my eye makeup often didn't come off completely, but this cleansing oil is very gentle yet removes makeup thoroughly, so I really like it! Even if I go over my eye area multiple times with a cotton swab, there's absolutely no makeup left behind. It also smells amazing and I found it really relaxing💭 You only need a small amount to remove your makeup, so I think it's really good value for money! This is the only cleansing oil I can use anymore🤔🤍

Stress Relieving Purefull Lip And Eye Remover Pad

These cleansing pads are a total lifesaver on days when I don't even feel like cleansing... 💛 I usually use them as a point makeup remover on days when I'm wearing heavy makeup. The pads are thoroughly soaked, so you don't really end up scrubbing your skin with a dry pad, which is great. For eye makeup, I first hold one against my eyelid for a few seconds to let it soak in, then wipe, and eyeshadow, eyeliner, and so on come off pretty smoothly. Even glitter and dark eyeshadow seem to come off fairly easily if you gently wipe a few times. For mascara and other especially stubborn areas, instead of trying to remove everything in one go, it comes off more cleanly if you hold the pad against the area to let the liquid soak in before wiping. What I personally appreciate most is that I can also use them for some extra cleanup on days when my makeup doesn't come off completely. If I notice any base makeup or eyeliner color left behind after cleansing, I use a pad to wipe just those areas. And most of all, they really lower the bar on days when I'm completely exhausted and genuinely can't do anything. Even when I don't have the energy to do the whole cleansing → face wash routine, I can at least bring myself to remove just my point makeup with one of these, so they're truly a rescue item. I keep these stocked as handy pads for when I just want to remove a little more, from taking off point makeup on full-makeup days to wiping away anything I missed during cleansing 💛🌼

Matsukiyo

Ultra-High-Pressure Vitamin C Derivative Cleansing Water

This is a versatile cleansing water that removes makeup and can also be used in place of a face wash. I soaked a cotton pad with it and used it to cleanse my face in the morning. I don't like splashing my face with water, so this was really useful. It has that characteristic vitamin C scent, which I also like. It's not sticky at all and feels as light as water. I'm considering buying it again, and above all, it's great value for money. It's cheap even though you get 500 ml. You can buy it at Matsumoto Kiyoshi.

Banila Co

Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original

I got a sample at a pop-up, liked it, and bought it. It's a balm-type cleanser that transforms from a firm texture into an oil. It blends well into the skin, removes everything properly even on days when I'm wearing full makeup, and is easy to use. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized after washing, with no tightness or residue, so it's one of my favorite cleansers!

Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil n

This cleansing oil is a cult favorite for a reason. I had it on subscription and used it for the longest time, and I think the rich texture and the way it removes everything thoroughly without leaving my skin feeling tight make it truly one of a kind. It not only removes makeup, but also leaves rough skin and clogged pores feeling refreshed. I'm currently using a different cleanser because I wanted to try others, but the blackheads on my nose, which I had barely noticed before, have become more visible, making me realize all over again how important cleansing care is. It is a little pricey, but I can't find anything else that works as a substitute. It's a cleansing oil I absolutely love and always end up coming back to.

Biore

The Cleanse Oil Makeup Remover Moist Pump Bottle

The cleansing oil I use a lot I often use it to remove my makeup. It's not hard to use, just put it on your skin and rub it around in circles, and the makeup comes off easily. I don't use much foundation and usually just wear sunscreen and primer, so I think this is easy to use and a good option!!!!

Azulene Hyaluronic 2X Serum Oil Cleanser

I initially received this as a sponsored product, but I also bought it with my own money🩵 Since azulene has a soothing effect, this is a cleanser I can use without worry even when my skin is sensitive!! My skin hasn't been very sensitive lately, but it removes makeup well, and I like it so much that I use it all the time🎶 When you dispense it into your hand, it's a cleanser with a light, runny texture, but the gel can sometimes clump up inside, so it's good to shake it as you use it◎

W/M AAA

Precious Solution Clear Serum Cleansing Oil

I saw someone with oily skin recommend this on YouTube, which made me curious, so I bought it. I've only used it for two days so far, but it's been really good up to this point. I have combination skin that leans oily, and in the summer it's basically oily skin. I'm prone to concerns about my pores, clogged pores, and rough skin texture, but after using this, my skin was so smooth I couldn't believe it. The oil has a very runny texture, and about three pumps is just the right amount. It glides easily over my skin without any friction, and it removes makeup with no issues. The scent is somewhere between floral and woody, and personally, I found it easy to use. My favorite part is when it emulsifies. As I added a little water and worked it in with circular motions, I could feel tiny grains that seemed like plugs coming off onto my fingertips. After rinsing, the roughness around my pores was noticeably reduced, and maybe because it also removed excess dead skin, the surface of my skin felt sleek and smooth. Even when I look in the mirror, my pores seem smaller than usual. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed without any tightness, which I really like for my oily skin. I've only just started using it, so I'd like to keep using it for a while and see how it affects my pores too.

Nurturing Cleansing Serum

This is a cleansing oil that removes makeup just by pressing it into your skin with your hands🫧 The liquid itself is an oil, but unlike typical cleansers, you don't need to massage it in with circular motions; basically, you just press it against your skin with your hands. It's easy to use when I want to minimize friction as much as possible, and I like that it feels less irritating on my skin◎ I use 2–3 pumps and try to keep the hand pressing under a minute Just pressing it in with my hands removes my base makeup really well. I'm only a little concerned about some eye makeup being left behind, so I lightly massage just around my eyes in circular motions, but even then, I'm able to remove it without a separate eye makeup remover👏 However, the formula itself has pretty strong cleansing power since it's designed to work with hand pressing, so I try not to massage it in too much. Another thing I love is how moisturized my skin feels after rinsing it off. My skin doesn't tend to feel tight after cleansing, and it stays feeling soft and moisturized. I've been using it for about a month, and lately I feel like my pores may also be looking a little less noticeable, so I want to keep using it a bit longer and see how it goes🤍
