Moisturizing, effective, non-eye irritating If you have dry sensitive skin like me you need this product. For the price its extremely worth it. I used to be worried about these oil-based cleansers because some can actually lead to pore clogging. This one actually prevents clogged pores because of its effectiveness at picking up debris and excess oils. Once in contact with water it becomes soap-like and washes away without leaving my skin feeling totally stripped of all its natural oils. Make sure you apply it with dry hands to a dry face for maximum cleansing effect. I would recommend this routine to anyone: - oil base cleanser (remove bulk oils and makeup) - water base cleanser (optional, additional deep cleans) - salicylic acid & retinol serums (for dewy skin and acne prevention) - simple moisturizer: spf vitimin c for morning and deep moisturizer for night Read more

Was chuffed to see this on Amazon £10 cheaper than in Boots however, it pongs! I used my niece's and it smelled lovely so I looked for it online but it stinks, I mean like really pungent and gone off. I'll just use it as body wash now and buy full cost from Boots in future. You really get what you pay for. Read more

I’m 64 years old and have always preferred oil-based makeup cleansers. For decades, I relied on Pond’s Cold Cream, starting in my 20s. However, in recent years, it has become nearly impossible to find (I suspect it has been completely phased out), so I’ve been searching for a suitable replacement. The Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil has proven to be more than just a replacement—it’s a perfect upgrade. It effortlessly removes makeup without stinging my eyes or drying out my skin. I usually follow up with soap, but on tired nights, I simply use toner before applying moisturizer. By morning, my skin looks radiant and refreshed. Highly recommended! Read more

Beauty of Joseon is fast becoming my most favorite K-Beauty (or any other skincare) Brand! They are getting a lot of attention lately but they've been around a while. Their products are gorgeous and so reasonably priced. I have aging skin so cleansing oils work very well for me. I use them in the morning as the very first step in my skincare routine. Apply a bit to dry skin and gently work it onto your face. Then add a bit of water and gently work that in. I rinse my face with tepid water - never hot! - about 10 times, and then give my face 4 or 5 splashes of cold water. I then tone, let my skin dry, pat and press on my vitamin c, let that absorb, and then the rest of my routine. This cleanser goes on so smoothly and leaves my skin happy and non-irritated, but still clean. It does have a bit of a scent but it's not strong and it's not off-putting to me as it is to some - I rather like I t- and as well it quickly dissipates. I am excited to try their balm and their gel cleanser for evenings when I want a deeper cleansing. I've used other Beauty of Joseon products -like their ginseng essence - and love the brand. Reasonably priced too. If you have dry aging skin, give cleansing oils a try. If you've worn sunscreen and/or makeup, you would want to double cleanse and maybe use a cleansing balm instead of this oil, but this is great on its own in the morning. Read more

I normally use hada labo but wanted to try something different and a bit less costly. I really like the pump bottle it comes in. It looks and works nicer than my other. I also like that it washes off a bit easier but I don't know if that's a good or a negative. Lastly, my hada labo had no smell at all while this one has a definite scent. It's not a bad scent. It's very earthy smelling and I don't know why that is or if it's a positive or negative. It seems to do the job of cleaning my face and removing makeup. I'm too uncertain and will probably go back to my hada labo or try something else but I'm glad I tried it. Read more

I'm on a mission to seek out and try the best Korean skincare products that work for my skin, and so far this cleansing oil did wonders on my first use! I usually wait before writing reviews, so I can try out my purchases at least a few times. I felt compelled to share my experience after just one use! I never knew a cleansing oil was necessary, and always wondered why influencers used so many products. Well it is a total game changer, especially if you combine it with a foaming cleanser afterwards. The deep pore foaming cleanser I used is from Anua, and it paired very well with this cleansing oil. I believe Joseon has something similar, but in a gel form. I will try that once I run out of Anua. I first used the cleansing oil, and gently applied it to my face in circular motions. I focused on my T-zone for a few minutes to see if it made a difference in helping clear out my blackheads on my nose and forehead. I'm glad it doesn't leave an oily residue after rinsing. This cleansing oil melted off my make-up in a gentle manner and with no burning eyes. My skin didn't feel stripped either! After cleansing oil, I followed with the Anua Heartleaf deep pore foaming cleanser. I grabbed my 10x mirror to see my nose, and holy cow my blackheads were pretty much gone! My pores looked very clean and I was so happy. If this is just one use so far, I cannot wait to see my results in the long run. The smell of this product is of ginseng, and yes it may bother people, but it didn't bother me and it's a scent that doesn't last on your face. So, if your sensitive to scents, then this might not be for you. Bottom Line: This cleansing oil will be my holy grail as long is it is offered! Read more

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. lol I'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. Read more
