This is product #1 out of a 4-step Japanese skin beauty regime. Multiple-step skin beauty regimes are very common in Japan, but are a little less intuitive here in the States. This cleansing oil goes on very delicately, and doesn't leave any residue on my face. I don't wear makeup very often but it feels like it would clean makeup off very well, too. Overall, it's got a nice, delicate feel -- no greasy or oily feeling to it at all. I just wish there were clearer labels on the product bottle itself to remind me that it's step 1 out of 4, and a note as to why the order is important. Also, I noticed that these products expire quite quickly once you open them, presumably because they are not full of harsh chemicals (a good thing). So this product is best for people who will use it on a daily basis. Read more

Have been looking for a solid cleanser/makeup remover and so I’m very glad my friend turned me on to this Japanese brand and skincare set (this is one of four products I’m using together) I’m very sensitive to fragrance so love that it’s fragrance free, takes makeup off well and does not leave residue. Bottles look great on my shelf too! Read more

Fancl cleaning oil never fails! I’ve been using it for more than 20 years. To be honest, I’ve used a different cleaning product time to time but I’ve always came back to Fancl. Very gentle to skin but it removes and cleans all makeup perfectly! If you have sensitive skin, Fancl is especially for you! And if you wear a lot makeup, Fancl cleaning oil will be your best friend! And of course, it’s a perfect cleaning oil for every type of skin! Read more

I bought this while visiting Japan. I'm hooked! Removes waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Don't be put off by the term "cleanding oil". I am older with still oily skin. My eyes get all black when I remove makeup, but rinses clean. No need for any additional soap to cleanse. My face is soft and clean. Read more

This is the best cleansing oil I’ve ever used, although I admittedly haven’t tried that many. My skin is super sensitive, so any fragrance (even essential oils) really irritate my skin, even in a wash off product like cleansing oil. For a long time I stood by softymo speedy cleansing oil, because it is very affordable, unscented, and works well enough to remove most makeup and sunscreen. This product rinses off more cleanly than softymo, sometimes I forget to follow with another cleanser because there is absolutely no residue left behind, no oily feeling to the skin. It also removes my most tenacious, hardcore Japanese sunscreen milks that softymo couldn’t remove. I dislike the higher price of this, but I’m sold. Also I was paranoid about this product being fake, as it’s almost $10 cheaper than buying from the official Fancl US website. Not sure how they get away with that but I received a genuine product.
