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

I’ve tried so many cleansing oils, but this one from Beauty of Joseon is hands-down the best. I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin, and it removes every trace of makeup—even waterproof mascara—without clogging my pores or leaving a greasy film. The texture is silky and lightweight, and the ginseng scent feels like a mini spa treatment. After rinsing, my skin feels soft, clean, and balanced, never stripped. It’s gentle enough for daily use but powerful enough to tackle heavy makeup. My skin has actually been sooo much clearer since switching to this!

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.

The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil is everything I want in a first cleanse—lightweight, nourishing, and melts away makeup and sunscreen like a dream. I was a little nervous about oils at first (oily-skin girl problems 😅), but this one doesn’t clog pores at all and actually helps balance my skin.The ginseng extract gives it this subtle herbal scent that feels super calming, like a mini facial every night 🌿 It rinses off easily without leaving that greasy film, and my skin feels soft, clean, and just... healthy.Double cleansing has officially become my favorite part of the routine thanks to this beauty 💛

Absolutely love this stuff. This is my second bottle. It’s perfect for the first cleanse getting my sunscreen and day to day off. Will continue to buy. Definitely worth it and it lasts a long time. A little goes a long way. It’s not oily at all and feels very moisturizing when rubbing on my face.

WOW. This brand is just amazing. Leaves skin feeling soft, clean, and looking glowy. It is so effective and gentle. There is no scent and is great for my sensitive skin. It is so easy to use and great for double cleansing. It is not too thick and rather a runny consistency but not too much.

I’ve used this cleansing oil for almost a year as I bought multiple bottles initially.Pros: it works well as a gentle cleanser and does not dry out/strip your skin (as you would expect with a cleansing oil).Affordable and lasts a very long time.Cons: I mainly bought it to do the heavy lifting with removing my makeup and it did not do such a great job. I had to either cleanse with this oil twice to remove majority of the makeup followed by a different cleanser or micellar water or use more of the micellar water if using it once. Also if you use it heavily on your eyes, it would sting. For reference, I don’t use a lot of make up just tinted moisturizer, mascara and blush/bronzer.It does have an added fragrance, but it does have a scent (maybe the natural scent of the ginseng oil) that kind of reminded me of gasoline, which I really disliked.Personally for me, I won’t be purchasing it again.
