Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil-230ml (japan import) [Badartikel]

This cleansing oil has become one of my favourite first cleansers. It effortlessly melts away sunscreen, long-wearing makeup, and even waterproof mascara without needing to rub my skin too much. The texture is lightweight and spreads easily over the face. Once I add water, it emulsifies quickly and rinses away cleanly without leaving an oily film behind. A couple of pumps are enough for a full face, so the bottle lasts much longer than I expected. It also doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after cleansing, which is a big plus. I've tried several cleansing oils over the years, and this is one I keep coming back to because it simply works. If you wear makeup or sunscreen every day, it makes the first step of double cleansing quick, gentle, and very effective.

First of all the packaging: comes in a nice pump bottle which is convenient and clean. Most of the oil cleansers in this price range in the drug store comes in a pour bottle which quickly becomes a slippery mess and leaves residue on surfaces. The pump puts out the perfect amount for your face and neck. So no wasted product. The scent: its subtle and pleasant, reminds me of olive oil even though that's not in the ingredients. Value for money: amazing, drug store own brands are usually twice the price per 100ml for a lower quality product in less convenient packaging. The oil cleanser itself: its ever so slightly thicker in viscosity than other oil cleansers I've tried and I find it to be quite beneficial. It spreads on the skin easier, feels less slimy when rubbing it in, and doesn't migrate into my eyes if I leave in on my skin for a few minutes to really loosen up clogged pores. As for washing it off, it turns into a milky substance when rubbed with water, much easier and with no residue compared to other affordable oil cleansers. The texture of it on my skin and residue left behind is quite important to me as I'm autistic with touch sensitivities, so something slight can put me off a product even if it does wonders for my skin. I wouldn't recommend using just this product on its own, but paired with another type of cleanser as part of a double cleansing routine to really get the full cleansing effect as is standard in Japanese/korean skincare. To note I also use this product with an electric face brush with a silicone head, as I would usually with my face wash, so that would boost its effects somewhat. I may update the review in a few weeks on how it's improved my acne and clogged pores, but in just 2 days I'm seeing improvement even though the same day I started with this I also added a heavier day and night cream to my routine, so it's very promising.

This is my favourite make-up removers. It removes foundation and lipstick easily with very gentle rub so it’s minimal stress on your skin. Only problem is the price went up to the double price over the year and it’s now out of my reach, unfortunately.

I admit i just recently got into into oil cleansers and this is only the second one I’ve tried, but I love it! The smell is ever so slightly citrusy with an oily leaning, it’s better than I make it sound but it’s subtle enough that it shouldn’t really be a deciding factor in buying it. I have combination oily and dry skin, and find that my cheeks and chin especially can easily dry out from using face washes. Even dove soap can dry me out quite a bit. It sorts itself out if I don’t moisturise after an hour or so in the worst case scenario but if you gave dry skin I’m sure you’re aware of that tightening feeling you get after using a drying product. I’ve used this product 3 times now. I massage it in for about 60 seconds on dry skin then wet my hands and massage the oil into a milky texture, also for about 60 seconds, then I simply rinse it off with water and pat dry. I have not experienced tightening of my skin once. I feel a slight sensation of dryness particularly on my chin, but it is so mild that it pretty much goes away in minutes. My skin feels soft after use but doesn’t, at least to my eyes, make me look greasy, which I admit was a slight concern. It cleanses well, has no unpleasant smells or effects on the skin and makes skin feel soft and supple. Would highly recommend.

This is fantastic substitute for DHC that I cannot buy in UK easily anymore. Great product, cleans brilliantly even waterproof mascara. Love it.

I like the small . Easy to use and apply. I bought this I think almost 2 years ago 😅 I don't do double Cleansing every night, just when I wear makeup, so for that took me so long to finish this bottle. Thanks GOD I got a refill (the pink packet) and just now (Dec 2024 ) I started using it . Good quality, soft scent, thickness it is like oil (it is oil after all), good value for money, for me was very durable. I do recommended if you use makeup, helps a lot to clean your skin an pores deeply.

Best cleansing oil I’ve used

I was looking for a cheaper alternative to DHC cleansing oil and this popped up. This does clear away makeup and isn't harsh on skin, however you do need to work a little harder to remove heavy makeup with this and perhaps use more of it. DHC is better at removing more makeup with less of the product. This also leaves an oily residue on the skin, something DHC doesn't do. I'd still recommend this product. It's not a bad product at all, it's just not like DHC and once I've finished the bottle, I'll be switching back to DHC.

Recharge pour le flacon pompe. Rien a dire parfait pour le double nettoyage le soir vraiment top. Démaquille très bien meme le waterproof sans avoir besoin d'en mettre beaucoup. Pour ma part non comedogene vraiment parfait

Le ha gustado mucho, había probado el rosa pero este no y la verdad es q limpia muy bien la cara y me deja buena sensación. Olor agradable

Cleans well (liquid foundation and waterproof mascara), and I'm happy with the product.

肌荒れが酷かったので 試しにと思って買ってみました! 夜に使って朝起きて鏡を見たら 角質も取れて 肌もしっとりもちもちして 敏感肌のワタシには合ってたみたいです。 今は、クレンジングオイルの後に化粧水→スキンローションのルーティーンでお手入れしてます。 普段のお手入れにひと工夫したい！って方には良いのではないかと思います。
