Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil - Korean Oil Cleanser, Jumbo 13.52 fl oz | Hydrating, Emulsifying Makeup Remover

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is a lightweight Korean oil cleanser that dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while keeping skin hydrated and balanced after rinsing.

This oil-based cleanser uses botanical blends developed by Sulwhasoo to remove stubborn makeup—including waterproof formulas—and everyday grime without stripping the skin. Designed to be the first step in a double-cleansing routine, it emulsifies on contact with water so residues lift cleanly, leaving skin feeling soft rather than tight. The formula is suitable for all skin types, and its larger 13.52 fl. oz. size is ideal if you prefer a longer-lasting supply.

How does this oil cleanser remove waterproof makeup and SPF?

The cleansing oil works by breaking down oil-based products and sunscreen molecules, allowing them to be rinsed away without harsh rubbing. When massaged into dry skin, it gathers pigments and sunscreen; adding water turns the oil into a milky emulsion that lifts residue into the rinse.

• Effectively dissolves waterproof mascara, longwear foundations, and mineral sunscreens
• Emulsifies with water for easy, non-greasy removal
• Minimizes rubbing, reducing irritation for sensitive skin

What herbal ingredients are included and why do they matter?

Sulwhasoo combines a Hydra Capture Complex and a Korean Herbal Oil Complex to support hydration and comfort during cleansing. These botanical extracts help the skin retain moisture after the oil is rinsed, so the complexion feels nourished rather than dehydrated.

• Hydra Capture Complex: blend of four herbs to help maintain post-cleanse hydration
• Korean Herbal Oil Complex: nourishing plant-based oils for softness and suppleness
• Gentle formulation suitable for repeated daily use without over-drying

Can I use this if I have dry or sensitive skin?

Yes — the formula is crafted to remove impurities while preserving the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it gentle enough for dry and sensitive skin types. Many users report comfortable post-wash skin and reduced tightness compared with harsher cleansers.

• Lightweight texture that won’t leave heavy residue
• Designed to soothe and soften rather than strip
• Ideal as the first step before a gentle foaming cleaner in double-cleansing

How should I include this in my skincare routine?

Use Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil as the first cleansing step on dry skin to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then add a splash of water to emulsify and rinse. Follow with a gentle foaming cleanser to remove any remaining water-soluble impurities for a fully clean, balanced base.

• Apply 1–2 pumps to dry face; massage to dissolve makeup and oils
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water
• Proceed with a second cleanse (Gentle Cleansing Foam recommended) for best results

Who this product is for: Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil is suited to anyone who wears makeup or sunscreen daily and wants an effective but non-drying first cleanse. It’s especially helpful for people with dry, combination, or sensitive skin who need a dependable makeup remover that preserves moisture, as well as anyone following the Korean double-cleansing ritual and looking for a larger, long-lasting bottle.
