Cleansing Oil TOP of TOP: What Are the 2023 TOP Cleansing Oils by Category?
Hello, this is Director Pi. It’s the TOP of TOP for 2023 cleansing oils.
Cleansing oils can be categorized into three functions: makeup removal, sebum dissolution, and dead skin cell management. The ingredients responsible for these functions are oil and surfactants. Depending on the types of oils and surfactants that provide these functions, you can find the perfect product for your skin.
But doesn't using cleansing oil make your skin worse? The difference in irritation depends on whether the oil's texture is heavy or light. Also, check whether it emulsifies well or not, its performance in removing base and color products, and its cleansing power. Check these three factors. I'll be checking all three of these in today's video, so please pay close attention.
To avoid skin issues, first, it's about time and intensity. After applying the oil, avoid rubbing your skin vigorously for a long time, whether it's a cleansing balm, a cleansing water, or a cleansing foam. Because this can damage the skin barrier due to physical irritation.
The second factor is the temperature of the water. If it's too cold, the cleansing power significantly decreases. To remove everything thoroughly, you'll need to rub for a long time, causing irritation. Conversely, if it's too hot, it can damage the skin barrier. While you may think a lighter texture is better, using strong force during rubbing can increase sensitivity.
Here's the correct way to use cleansing oil. When applying it to dry skin for the first time, you should pump it two or three times. You need a sufficient amount. Then, add warm water to emulsify for 30 seconds. If you want to target blackheads and remove them effectively, you can extend the massage time on your nose by an additional 30 seconds, or you can reduce the time and use a cleansing puff. Afterward, rinse off any remaining residue for 30 seconds. 30, 30, 30, or 1 minute and 30 seconds is the most ideal time.
Cleansing oils have many steady sellers, and there are fewer new releases. After conducting a comparative review, I will select the top of the top based on user experience and device measurements. Shall we dive in? Go Go!
2023 Cleansing Oil TOP of TOP: High Concentration of Natural Oils
#Contains Antioxidant Ingredients #Prevents Skin Damage #Excellent Sebum Dissolving Power #Recommended for Dry and Aging Skin
The first high-concentration natural oil product is Jeju Sparkling Water DEEP Cleansing Oil by Shingmulnara. Surfactants, antioxidants, fragrance, AHA, BHA, PHA. Sunflower seed oil is rich in lecithin, vitamin A, vitamin E, and protein, making it an oil I really love. AHA is great for gently removing dead skin cells on the surface. PHA provides mild exfoliation while minimizing irritation. BHA helps dissolve sebum and can assist in pore tightening. The texture is somewhere between lightweight and heavy. It leaves minimal residue and can be slightly drying after cleansing. It effectively removes sunscreen and foundation, although there may be a slight tint residue. It fairly removes the products. However, it falls slightly short in blackhead removal. Due to its effectiveness in exfoliating dead skin cells, some users may experience a slight feeling of dryness. It's effective at exfoliating dead skin cells, but the blackhead removal effect could be better. It has good cleansing power, but it tends to leave the skin a bit dry after use.
Now, let's move on to No. 1 Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil by numbuz:n. High concentration of natural oils, surfactants, antioxidants, fragrance. Corn oil is a natural oil containing unsaturated fatty acids and tocopherol. To mitigate any stickiness or heaviness that can be associated with natural oils, synthetic oils were used as a second ingredient. Both high HLB Solbes-30 Tetraoleate and low HLB Sorbitan Sesquioleate were used together. By combining natural oils with synthetic oils, it achieves a medium consistency that's neither too light nor too heavy. For matte foundation, when used on its own, it might leave residue and there could be some leftover color residue. It didn't have a significant effect on blackheads, but it did dissolve sebum and remove dead skin cells to some extent. This is a high-concentration natural oil cleansing oil with a clean finish, but its blackhead removal effectiveness was slightly disappointing.
Next up is the P.Z SSG SSAC Deep Cleansing Oil by One-day's you. High concentration of natural oils, surfactants, antioxidants, fragrance. Both sunflower seed oil and soybean oil contain similar ingredients to Shingmulnara, so they have high antioxidant power. The surfactant used is an oil-in-water emulsifier. It emulsifies quickly and helps break down particles for effective cleansing. The texture is somewhat between lightweight and slightly heavy. However, for products with film formers or waterproof properties, this surfactant might not be as effective. After cleansing, the skin feels relatively moisturized, but it might feel a bit heavy for oily skin. For foundation, there was some slight residue, which can be removed by pressing toner onto the skin to dissolve any remaining product. This is a moisturizing cleansing oil with a high concentration of natural oils and good slip for massage. It's effective at removing sebum, but may be slightly less effective at removing makeup. It's recommended for dry skin.
Parsley Seed Facial Cleansing Oil by Aesop. The surfactant used here is C12-13 Pareth-3, which is commonly used in cleansing waters. It has a subtle lavender scent and a slightly heavier texture, making it suitable for massage. It effectively removes makeup, excluding strong waterproof products. This is a moisturizing cleansing oil with a high concentration of natural oils, including good oils for antioxidant benefits. It's recommended for dry and combination skin.
2023 Cleansing Oil TOP of TOP: High Concentration of Synthetic Oils
#Lightweight, Leaves Minimal Residue #Fast Emulsification #Recommended for Oily Skin That Doesn't Suit Natural Oils
This time, we have products with a high concentration of synthetic oils. They are characterized by being lightweight without leaving residue and have fast emulsification properties. These products are recommended for those with oily skin, especially if natural oils don't suit their skin or if they have acne-prone skin.
First up is the Jojoba 9000 Cleansing Oil by CHAKAN FACTORY. It contains purified water, a high concentration of synthetic oils, exfoliating and sebum-reducing ingredients, as well as antioxidants, fragrance, and 9000ppm of jojoba seed oil, which is 0.9%. 9000ppm is quite a low concentration. There's the oil layer and the water layer separated in the bottle. So, you have to shake it to mix them physically. It's a lightweight formula because the water is in one layer. Some users mentioned that even when soaked with water, it doesn't emulsify. That's because it doesn't contain an emulsifying agent. It's similar to what I used to make by mixing universal oils. Some people apply it by mixing it with toner as a multi-purpose skincare product. However, when using it with your hands, it doesn't cleanse well. You need to use a cotton pad to physically remove the makeup. After cleansing, there's still some residue left, but since it doesn't contain surfactants, you don't necessarily need to rinse it off. For those whose skin doesn't agree with oils, you can simply remove the oily feeling. It's not a moisturizing oil, not a cleansing oil. So it has a somewhat ambiguous identity, which is why it received a C rating. As it lacks surfactants, its makeup removal and sebum control properties are not very effective. It's more suitable for managing dead skin for combination to oily skin types.
The Natural Mild Cleansing Oil by ilso. It is a high-concentration synthetic oil product with surfactants and exfoliating ingredients. It contains fragrance. The main oil is ethylhexyl palmitate, which provides a smooth finish and offsets any heaviness. It has a medium consistency that is neither too light nor too heavy. After use, it has good cleansing power for sunscreen, foundation, and tint, and it's effective for removing dead skin cells. However, its blackhead removal effect is somewhat lacking. It leaves minimal dryness after cleansing.
Next is the Micro Active Cleansing Oil by COSNORI. It's a high-concentration synthetic oil product with surfactants, antioxidants, and fragrance. It contains a high amount of ethylhexyl palmitate and isohexadecane, which is very light and has a thin texture. These ingredients make the product not feel like an oil texture. It has a watery and lightweight texture with a high cleansing power and a refreshing finish. It effectively removes sunscreen, foundation, and tint. However, it doesn't leave the skin feeling noticeably smoother or with improved sebum control. When rinsing with water, there may be some slipperiness, but it's not too bothersome as long as you remove the excess water. Immediately after cleansing, the skin might feel slightly dry, especially if you skip skincare right after. It's suitable for oily skin but has a somewhat ambiguous identity due to its limited sebum control function. Overall, it's a cleansing oil with good makeup removal power, a watery and refreshing texture, and it's important to be gentle when massaging it into the skin. However, its effectiveness in removing sebum and blackheads is somewhat disappointing.
The Apple Cider Deep Cleansing Oil by AriuL. It is a product with a high concentration of synthetic oils and includes natural oils, surfactants, antioxidants, and fragrances. It contains isopropyl myristate and isopropyl palmitate, which provide a lightweight and non-oily texture with good solubility and oxidation stability. It has a very light and watery texture with minimal tightness. The level of moisture it provides is moderate. It has a decent effect in removing sebum and is praised for not causing the typical stuffy feeling associated with oils during massaging. It effectively removes sunscreen and foundation, but may leave a slight residue of tint. Overall, it offers strong cleansing power, a watery and refreshing texture, and is suitable for oily skin. It provides good makeup removal capabilities and has a decent performance in sebum and blackhead removal.
The Pore Cleansing Oil Heartleaf Oil-wash by Abib. It is a product with a high concentration of synthetic oils, surfactants, antioxidants, and exfoliating ingredients like PHA. It uses cetyl ethylhexanoate as its main oil, which is lightweight and has good spreadability. Caprylic/capric triglyceride is also included in the formulation, which is a synthetic oil known for its compatibility with the skin. It has a very lightweight texture that doesn't leave a greasy residue and provides a fresh sensation when used. It effectively removes sunscreen, but may have some difficulty with removing foundation and tint. Its cleansing power is not exceptionally strong, and it's suitable for sensitive and oily skin types. It leaves minimal residue, but the skin might feel slightly dry after use. It's more effective at removing whiteheads than blackheads.
Next up is the Bamboo Charcoal Pore & Blackhead Cleansing Oil by BRING GREE. It is a product that contains a high concentration of synthetic oils, surfactants, and uses charcoal powder for exfoliation. It features ethylhexyl palmitate, a lightweight and smooth oil, and triethylhexanoin, an oil that doesn't feel sticky and spreads smoothly during massaging. It employs two types of surfactants, one with a high HLB and one with a low HLB, for effective cleansing (O/W and W). This cleansing oil has a lightweight texture that flows like water. It efficiently removes sunscreen and foundation, leaving the skin feeling clean and exfoliated, similar to using a cleansing foam. It doesn't leave any noticeable residue and is particularly effective at removing sebum and whiteheads. This cleansing oil is suitable for oily and sebum-prone skin types.
The Hi Amino All Cleansing Oil by DEWYTREE. It is a product with a high concentration of synthetic oils, surfactants, and fragrance. It includes very lightweight oils for effective cleansing.

It offers decent performance in removing sebum and blackheads. When using it, it's important to be gentle during the massaging process due to its thin texture. This product is recommended for individuals with combination skin.

It uses a polyglyceryl-based surfactant to provide a relatively moisturizing cleansing experience. It promotes quick emulsification while maintaining moisture on the skin. This cleansing oil has a very lightweight and watery texture. It helps to emulsify quickly while maintaining moisture on the skin. Right after using the cleanser, it can even help soften the appearance of sebum and dead skin cells. If you prefer a squeaky-clean feeling, you may want to follow up with a second cleanser. The product effectively removes sunscreen, and it performs moderately well in removing foundation and tinted products. It also has a decent exfoliating effect. To get the best results, ensure that you emulsify it thoroughly. This cleansing oil is suitable for dry, combination, and even sensitive skin types.
The ROUND A ROUND Greentea Moisture Cleansing Oil. It is a lightweight cleansing oil containing synthetic oils, surfactants, natural oils, and fragrance. It has a light texture and performs well in removing base makeup. However, it may struggle a bit with removing colored makeup products. It offers moderate cleansing power and is suitable for daily use without causing excessive blackheads or increased sebum production. It is a lightweight cleansing oil primarily composed of synthetic oils; its blackhead removal efficacy is somewhat lacking. It is suitable for those with oily or combination skin who may not prefer natural oils.
Let's delve into the TOP of TOP cleansing oils for 2023.
2023 Moisturizing Pick: Recommended for Dry Skin Types. A product that protects the skin barrier while providing a moisturizing finish. It's the Camellia Natural Mild Cleansing Oil by Sandawha. This used to be ma:nyo's cleansing oil, but it has been renewed with added ingredients like glycerin, butylene glycol, and purified water for additional moisturization.

Europe nut oil is highly flexible and suitable for massages. It contains various oils with good oxidation resistance in the formula. The texture is neither too light nor too heavy.
