The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Light Facial Cleansing Oil, Daily Makeup Remover, Oil Cleanser, Vegan, Korean Skin Care with Jojoba Oil, Face Pore Cleanser, 150ml

A great face wash. Soft and gentle cleanser with a light fragrant smell, not too powerful scent but a very fresh and clean scent. Works great on my oily skin and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. Lathers well and cleans all impurities (i.e. make up) off of your face. Leaves your skin glowing.

I recently began a quest for all the beauty products needed to achieve the youthful, dewy look ever popular in Korea in anticipation of my wedding day. (Yes, I'm an American who watches a lot of Kdramas and became supremely jealous of Kon Joon-He's character in "She Was Pretty.") I've had a fantastic experience with the new skin care regimen: huge reduction in blemishes, almost completely eliminated the pimples!!!--I just get one or two during my period--evened skin tone, and overall a cleaner, softer face. Since it's been so overwhelming to research every step on my own, I'm providing a list of all the winners so far, and in what order of the skin care/makeup routine to use them in. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone who wants to venture into the world of Korean skin care but isn't sure where to start. **Indicates the product in review. 1. Cleanser - The Face Shop: Rice Water Bright** Apply this to dry, unwashed skin and gently rub in circles to fully cleanse your face. Works as a makeup remover, but I'd recommend a different product for eye makeup removal. Rinse the oil off with lukewarm water. This is the perfect, gentle cleanser for sensitive, mixed oily/dry skin, like mine. It has a very faint smell of rice water. Not surprising, considering that's what it is. A little goes a long way, so one pump is usually enough for my entire face. Be careful not to carry it sideways in a makeup kit if the pump gets loose. I made the mistake of doing that, and got all my other products coated in rice water cleanser. ;) Oh, and that little plastic thing on the pump pops right off. It took me forever to figure it out. I kept twisting and unscrewing and finally realised you just pull the little plastic piece right off and then snap it back on when you're done for the night. :P 2. Toner/Refresher - Etude House 10-in-1 House Wonder Pore Freshener Tightens pores, and purifies skin. Apply to a cotton pad or cotton balls and then to face. Let dry. 3. Moisturiser - Skin Food Peach Sake Emulsion Pretty self-explanatory. Apply right after the toner sets in to feed your face with some moisture. 4. Serum - Skin Food Peach Sake Pore Serum A slightly more concentrated moisturiser to apply after the first. Yes, Koreans have many steps (most of them moisturising ones) in their beauty routine, I've learned. But it really does amazing things to your skin. And once you get the hang of it, applying all these products every night doesn't really take a whole lot of extra time. It also cuts back on my makeup routine in the morning, because when my skin is naturally healthy, clear, and soft, I'd rather show it off than cover it up. ;) 5. Night Cream - Nature Republic Fresh Green Tea NOTE: This particular product is not sold on Amazon. I had to buy it on sale at my local Korean market because I was too scared to order anything over $10 that I wasn't sure about. But you can find any number of night creams here for the final step. I recommend something with green tea or aloe. Just apply at night onto clean, pampered skin, rub it in thoroughly, and sleep on it! Other Cosmetics/Extras I Found Useful/Worth Purchasing: Facial Scrub - Skin Food Black Sugar Mask Use twice a week for a deeper facial cleanse than you regular cleanser. Apply a little, gently exfoliate, leave on, rinse off. If it goes on too thick, use a little water or toner to make it easier to scrub in. CC Cream - Lioele Dollish CC Cera-V CC Creams are much like BB Creams, (not a cream to match your skin colour, but a transparent foundation/primer) but if my experience with the two I've tried is any indication, CC Creams give more coverage and make the skin look more bright, white, and luminescent, rather than simply evening out the skin tone and providing SPF. Apply before any colour foundations. Highlighter - Etude House Secret Beam Highlighter #1 Pink & White Mix To be brushed on over foundation in key spots to brighten the face even further. Goes on like a sheer fairy dust--just a bit of sparkle, but not like glitter. This isn't for a Labyrinth Masquerade ball, you know. ;) Face Mist - Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist Face Mist is something you apply whenever you choose, before or after makeup, to keep your face hydrated and fresh throughout the day. I carry a bottle in my purse and spritz a little on whenever I feel my face is tired. :) This particular mist I haven't tried yet, because my order hasn't arrived, but I bought a Nature Republic bamboo mist from my local Korean market, and I love it a lot. Products I Didn't Think Worth the Fuss: Face Masks- These are a huge hit in Korea, and they're fun to wear around the house to get a rise out of family members who think you look creepy. But for me they're too sticky, drippy, and overrated. I prefer the clay masks or avocado masks that you have to wash off after. Expensive Serums, Essence, Bee Toxin... anything over $20 a bottle I passed up. As I've discovered, you can get really great results with just the five things I listed above, and none of them are over $15. Most are under $10.

I’ve been loving The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil (150 mL / 5.04 oz)! 💖 Packaging & Design The bottle is sleek and pink 💕 — so pretty on my vanity. I love the safety cap because it prevents accidental pumping. To use, just slide off the cap and pump with your finger — simple and hygienic ✨ ✨ Texture & Scent The oil has the perfect texture — not too thick, not too runny. It feels very gentle on the skin and works great for sensitive skin like mine 🥰 It does have a light fragrance; I usually avoid fragrance, but this one is mild and not irritating. 🧴 Performance This cleansing oil removes full-face makeup effortlessly. I tested it with mascara, tinted sunscreen, and a full skincare routine, and it completely dissolved everything 💖 My skin feels incredibly clean afterward without feeling stripped. 💡 Tips for Blackhead-Prone Areas If you’re focusing on blackheads (especially on the nose): ✔️ Use a generous amount and massage in circular motions ✔️ For stubborn areas, gently work the oil in with your fingers or a silicone cleansing brush ✔️ Follow with a second rinse or gentle foam cleanser to remove any residue 🌸 Final Thoughts I bought this after seeing videos of people using it for blackhead removal. While results aren’t instant, consistent use leaves my skin feeling very clean and bright ✨ Gentle, effective, and beautifully packaged — definitely recommend! 💕

Long story short: Check the bottle and make sure you've received one from Korea that has jojoba oil, not one from China that has canola oil in it! I'm in my 40's and have extremely sensitive, combination skin that breaks out or has an allergic reaction to nearly every little thing, and have been through more oil cleansers than I can count. When I get the right version of this, it's the best one for my skin, no competition, and when used right I don't even need to use a second cleanser, especially during colder, drier months. If you work it into your skin long enough, both before and after you've added water, it's an amazing and gentle exfoliater that'll leave you glowing. Though, if I have any heavy makeup on or multiple layers of sunscreen I usually still use a second cleanser, so I'd say just your judgement! Foaming cleansers are honestly doing more harm than good for most us so I try and use them as little as possible. There is a scent, but with the right bottle it's very mild and non-irritating and I've managed to get used to it. (I'm also very sensitive to scent, and nearly everything I use in my home and skin care is unscented so it doesn't trigger a skin reaction or give me headaches. This also means I'm now even MORE sensitive to scents since I've created a scent free environment for myself. So I feel like if I've grown accustomed to it most people won't be bothered by it at all.) The scent of the fake product is much stronger and gives me headaches almost right away. It's also a thicker oil that's a lot harder to break down, since it's canola oil and not jojoba, so I wouldn't be surprised if those who have mentioned a strong smell and slimier oil have also received the wrong bottle. I can't say much about how it breaks down makeup because I usually don't wear any, but it cuts through a few layers of sunscreen just fine. It also lasts a decent amount of time, even when I sometimes use it up to 3 times a day, since you don't need to use a whole lot for it to do its job. I think the amount of time you work it into your skin matters more than using a whole lot of it. Added bonus? Rice oil/water is very nourishing for hair and can encourage growth. My eyebrows that never recovered from the 90's over-plucking fad have finally started coming back in a bit, and even my eyelashes are looking darker and thicker. Anytime I've tried to switch to another cleansing oil (back before I realized I was sometimes receiving a dupe) both my eyebrows and eyelashes started thinning out again. So while I can't say everyone will experience this, it's a definite possibility. Edited to add: I just wanted to clarify that using this amazon listing I have received both the right product, and the wrong one. I don't know if the supplier just sometimes changes, or what. I've also had this happen purchasing somewhere else entirely. So regardless of which listing, or site, you use to purchase this oil you should double check the bottle before you open it to make sure that it's the right one, and make sure you can return it in case it's not!

I have tried so many products but this one is the best product I have ever used. It leaves my skin fresh and so smooth. I have been using it for less than 2 weeks and already I have seen a very clear and positive result. All the black heads are gone. My skin looks alot better than before. I will definitely recommend this product. ❤️ Shipping was very fast too.

Es económico, me volví fan de la doble limpieza, note cambios a los días de uso. Probé la famosa técnica de masajear el rostro por 5 min y realmente retiró muchas impurezas. Tiene aroma pero para mi gusto no es desagradable. El único contra es que note un poco de irritación en los ojos.

I like it so much. It’s lightweight, does the job, and cleans makeup without making my skin dry.

This is my first time to use an oil cleanser. I'm skeptical at first because I'm very acne prone and I'm worried this will break me out. On first use, I can immediately feel the difference in the texture of my skin. It's way smoother compared to using a micellar water. I've been using it for a week now and so far not a single pimple appeared.

I use this as part of my double cleanse routine in the evening. I’m in my 40’s and have normal to oily skin. This cleanser is gentle enough for me to use on my sensitive skin and eyes. I like that the oil is very lightweight, key if you’re more oily/acne prone. Oil cleansing dissolves oil! Oil cleansing can help balance out sebum production and remove sunscreen/oil based makeup easily! A bottle typically lasts me 3 months of use. I start by pumping about 2/3 squirts into my hand and then gently lathering on my face. I like to message it into my face which also helps remove impurities. As mentioned I also use it on my eyes to remove liner and mascara with no irritation. With any oil cleanser it needs to be emulsified with water. This turns the oil into a creamy consistency before you rinse it off. I follow up with La Roche Posay gel cleanser as my second cleanse. Lastly I use Bioderma on a cotton round to remove any residue. This has made such a difference in my skin!
