AHA Omija Ceramic Cleansing Oil 6.76 fl oz | Pore Purifying Sebum Control Deep Cleanser | AHA LHA PHA Omija | Non-Drying Korean Skincare (200ml)

This Ceramic Cleansing Oil with Vitamin C + AHA + OMIJA by Parnell is everything I hoped it would be, and more. Finally, an oil cleanser that actually gets the skin clean, and I guess I have the vitamin C and AHA components to thank for that. Never fear though, the salicylic acid and ascorbic acid are present enough, but not so abundant in the formulation that they will cause rosacea flare-ups or dry out the skin. Anyway, I love this cleansing oil. It smells like what is in it, patchouli, tea tree and soybean. I adore the clean, medicinal smell of it, but that is subjective of course, and others may not agree. It takes just a few drops of oil to clean the face. I put some tap water on my hands and proceeded to massage it in, and after several seconds there was some minute foaming action which they refer to as "turning milky". At that point it is time to rinse, and this cleansing oil rinses beautifully. It left my skin feeling clean and soft, with no tightness afterward. The redness from my rosacea was greatly calmed down as well. Besides washing off makeup and surface dirt, the main job of this cleansing oil is to remove impurities, dead skin cells, and blackheads. Over time it may be expected to provide some anti-aging benefits by brightening up the complexion, and smoothing the skin texture. One interesting ingredient in the formulation is OMIJA, which is a berry extract. Not only does this extract have anti-aging properties it is also a great hydrator. And let us not forget our tea tree oil, always an amazing ingredient because it is anti-acne, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. This means that not only can It soothe and heal, it will also help protect the skin against environmental stressors. Another great thing about this cleansing oil is that it is a clean and green formulation. It contains no parabens, phthalates, PEGs, silicones, sulfates, harsh surfactants or preservatives, it does not even have added fragrance. This an all-around excellent cleansing oil that in my opinion does not need a second (water-based) cleanser to finish the job. Currently it is selling for $16, and for the clean formulation and how well it works, I think that price is a true bargain. Highly recommended Made in Korea

It’s only been a week so this review is based on 1 week of use. I used once a day at night to help remove the makeup and sunscreen on my face and neck. Like other reviews the scent is not great, the only way I can describe it is a cross between woodsy, herbal with a hint of lavender and mint of some sort. The woodsy scent really throws off the scent. However, once you emulsify and wash it off, the scent isn’t too strong. I feel like it does not emulsify completely, it appears to leave an oily film behind, so you’ll need to use a foaming cleanser to wash off the excess film. This product does not dry out my skin & my skin does appear to look brighter but again, it’s only been 1 week. I’ll continue using the remaining in hopes it help even out my skin tone, which is what I hope the vitamin c and AHA in this product is supposed to help achieve.

I was excited about this product but it leaves a heavy oil layer in my skin. I don’t feel it gets my skin clean. I didn’t notice a difference in exfoliation with this. I have tried many oil washes and this is not one of my favorites. I have combo skin. I did give it 3 stars because I use it as a body cleanser and did notice it keeps my skin from drying out like other body washes.

I'm not a person who uses a lot of cosmetics. I don't wear makeup and most of my skincare products come from Target or CVS. I got this to try because nothing really works for blackheads. I've tried tools, masks, those things you stick on your nose, all kinds of cleansers, and face wash that comes with little bits of apricot seeds in them. I really did NOT believe that an oil was going to work. The instructions are vague and inaccurate. I think it said to put "enough" product on your hands (how much is enough?) and to rub the product in until it turns milky. Well, I definitely used too much and I rubbed and rubbed the product and it remained completely oily. It never got milky, and I started to worry that I was never going to get this oil off my face. It washed off right away and all my pores were clean. I'm not kidding. And my skin was so soft it was unbelievable. I personally don't like the smell of the product, but don't even care. This stuff is terrific.

This exfoliator is exactly what I needed—super gentle but still gets the job done. The AHA and Omija combo lightly buffs away dullness without irritation, and the added Vitamin C is a nice touch for evening out my skin tone. I especially love that it doesn’t leave my face feeling tight or stripped. The Omija from Mungyeong gives it a subtle natural vibe and my skin feels noticeably softer and more refreshed after using. 4.5 stars – great for sensitive skin and a soft, radiant finish.

I have used this cleansing oil for a few months now and have noticed a brighter, clearer complexion. I also notice little to no blackheads on my nose. My skin is soft and refreshing as well. It took some time getting used to using oil but after I got used to it, it became a part of my skincare regimen. The only drawback I haven’t gotten used to is the scent. I’m not used to strongly scented skincare products but I deal with it because of how nice my skin is looking.

I love the way my skin feels after adding this cleansing oil to my routine! It cleaned out my pores incredibly well, including the blackheads on my nose. It applies nicely and rinses off easily. I feel so clean after using this. The product does have a scent, but I personally don't mind it. Overall, I'm very happy with this cleansing oil.
