When we talk about the best Korean cleansing oils, we\u2019re talking about the products that basically redefined what a good first cleanse should feel like. These formulas are lightweight, silky, and ridiculously good at melting off makeup, sunscreen, and grime\u2014without leaving skin tight or greasy.<\/p>\n

What makes these cleansing oils distinctly Korean? K-beauty cleansing oils usually rely on plant-derived oils and streamlined ingredient lists, so they feel gentle even if you\u2019re wearing waterproof mascara or have sensitive or acne-prone skin. \u201cThey tend to have a lighter consistency and fewer ingredients,\u201d which makes them easier on the skin than some heavier Western formulas, says Justine H. Park, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Westlake Village, CA. And when you follow them with a water-based cleanser (the classic double-cleanse), your pores get a deeper, more satisfying clean.<\/p>\n

      Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> In Korean culture, rice is deeply tied to comfort, health, prosperity, and home, so when a brand puts it front and center in your skin care, you know it\u2019s intentional. The fermented black rice in Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil delivers a surge of antioxidants, minerals, and proteins that help keep skin elastic and resilient from step one. Alongside rice bran extract, the formula blends olive oil (to whisk away makeup and excess sebum), sunflower seed oil (to soothe and moisturize), macadamia seed oil (to strengthen your barrier), jojoba seed oil (to balance and refine), and tocopherol for an extra antioxidant boost. There\u2019s not much else in the formula, and that\u2019s exactly why TikTok is obsessed with its short, sweet, no-fluff ingredient list.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThe key characteristic of a good cleansing oil? A super silky formula that breaks down your toughest makeup with tugging\u2014especially around the eyes\u2014and washes away without an ounce of residue. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt when they’re fragrance-free for my sensitive girlies. The Haruharu Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil is one of my top recs for cleansing oils for these reasons, and because it just… delivers. There’s nothing complicated about it, which is exactly what I need as I’m beginning my loaded nighttime skin-care routine. It melts away shimmer eye shadow, long-lasting gel liners, and every type of mascara in 10 seconds. It’s a must even on my no-makeup, sunscreen-only days, too. A mainstay, as they say.\u201d \u2014Sarah Han, commerce writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The entire brand centers its formulas around Centella asiatica<\/em> (a.k.a. cica) sourced specifically from Madagascar, where the plant grows with exceptional purity and potency thanks to the island\u2019s untouched environment. This cleansing oil\u2019s featherlight texture works beautifully for all skin types, including our tester with oily, acne-prone skin and Joyce Park, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Washington, who calls it \u201ca new favorite for my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. The cica is extremely soothing, and the formula has a super-lightweight texture.\u201d Staying true to Skin1004\u2019s pared-back formulas, it keeps things streamlined with just four key oils: bergamot, sunflower seed, olive fruit, and jojoba seed.<\/p>\n

        “I don’t want to be dramatic, but this has capital-T transformed by cleansing routine. I got it in a set paired with the brand’s Cleansing Ampoule Foam, but this is a non-negotiable first step for melting all of my makeup off before I go in with the lather. It has a generous slip, little to no scent, and a lightweight texture that’s easy to emulsify and rinse. My only complaint is that I will need a jumbo size made.” \u2014Deanna Pai, Allure<\/em> contributing commerce editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> You may know Sulwhasoo for its 500-hour ginseng creams and tech-packed serums, but don\u2019t sleep on this quieter overachiever. The Gentle Cleansing Oil, a 2024 Best of Beauty winner, happens to be waterproof makeup\u2019s worst enemy, melting through long-wear formulas without drying out skin. Its secret isn\u2019t ginseng this time, but a cushiony blend powered by the brand\u2019s Hydra Capture Complex, which uses four proprietary herbal extracts to help skin stay hydrated as you cleanse. Mulberry leaf and mountain yam extracts soften and nourish, while the silky oil-to-milk texture leaves skin feeling clean but not tight. While it\u2019s on the pricier side for a cleanser, one pump does more heavy lifting than most double-cleanse duos combined.<\/p>\n

          \u201cI\u2019m pretty heavy-handed with waterproof eye products (my go-to liner is basically budgeproof), so finding a makeup remover that melts down every last bit of mascara and liquid liner in seconds is wildly satisfying. Even better, it rinses off feeling completely hydrating\u2014and while it doesn\u2019t claim any brightening benefits, my skin somehow always looks a little glowier afterward.\u201d \u2014Christa Joanna Lee, Allure<\/em> contributing commerce writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Their Dokdo Cleansing Oil pairs that soothing water with plant-derived oils like meadowfoam, grape seed, avocado, evening primrose, and macadamia to melt makeup without leaving skin tight or greasy. It\u2019s especially great for sensitive or dry skin thanks to barrier-loving ingredients like allantoin, and panthenol. \u201cThe addition of hyaluronic acid and ceramides helps soothe dry, sensitive skin while adding hydration as it cleanses,\u201d says Dr. Justine Park.<\/p>\n

                Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> Beauty of Joseon\u2019s Ginseng Cleansing Oil takes the brand\u2019s hanbang<\/em> roots (traditional Korean herbal medicine) and turns them into a cleansing step that feels practically therapeutic for mature skin. The stars are \u201cglycine soja (soybean) oil, which melts makeup while giving mature skin nourishing omegas, as well as ginseng seed oil for natural antioxidant power,\u201d says Dr. Justine Park. With olive, camellia, coconut, and black cumin oils in the blend, this silky formula transforms from an oil into a soft foam cleanser, keeping skin supple and hydrated rather than tight. It\u2019s the kind of gentle face wash that leaves mature, often-dry skin feeling soft, calm, and cared for.<\/p>\n

                  Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n
                  \n

                  How do I use cleansing oils?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                  First, skip the water. \u201cApply cleansing oil to dry skin and massage into the skin to dissolve dirt, grime, oil, sunscreen, makeup, etc.,\u201d says Dr. Justine Park. Working it in dry allows the oils to properly break everything down. Once it\u2019s had a moment to do its job, \u201crinse with warm water or use a warm wet washcloth to wipe away and then rinse with warm water,\u201d she says. Only after that step should your skin be wet.<\/p>\n

                  \n

                  What makes Korean cleansing oils different?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                  What makes these cleansing oils distinctly Korean comes down to texture, simplicity, and the types of oils used. In general, Korean beauty products, especially cleansing products, skew lighter and more streamlined, favoring plant-based oils over the denser, synthetic formulas to nourish your skin barrier.<\/p>\n

                  \n

                  Why is double cleansing important in Korean skincare?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                  \u201cDouble cleansing ensures thorough and effective cleansing as a two-step process to allow the removal of impurities followed by the actual cleansing of the skin,\u201d says Dr. Justine Park. The first step\u2014an oil-based cleanser or cleansing balm\u2014breaks down sunscreen, makeup, and excess sebum, while the second step\u2014a water-based cleanser\u2014removes leftover residue, sweat, and impurities. Together, these K-beauty skin-care products leave your complexion clearer, smoother, and better prepped for the rest of your routine.<\/p>\n

                    How we test and review products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                    When Allure<\/em> tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that’s included in every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.<\/p>\n

                    For our list of the best Korean cleansing oils, we considered each product’s performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear. Every product was determined to have excelled in each category by our editorial team, which is composed of in-house writers and editors as well as contributors\u2014along with special consideration from dermatologists. To learn more information on our reporting and testing processes, read our complete reviews process and methodology page.<\/p>\n

                    Our staff and testers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                    A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors\u2014in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon\u2014is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n

                    After all, can we really<\/em> say a skin care product is the “best” for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it’s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n
