ROHTO Hadalabo Gokujun Cleansing Oil 200ml

Update: I've been using for almost 2 years. Still the best gentle cleanser I've used. Many nights I don't need a second cleanse. 2 pumps even gets off sunscreen, makeup and waterproof mascara. I take my time and massage into my dry face. Then I add water and rinse clean. Pat dry. I recommend to all my friends. This is a good cleansing oil at a good price. I don't notice any scent. But it's not just that 1 pump removes ALL my make-up... Including mascara. It's the emulsifiers they added that makes this rinse off cleanly. No greasiness at all. I use this every night as my first cleanse. My face feels good after. Not dry and not greasy. I then use CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser as my second Cleanse. I'm 71-y/o and I have tired, dry skin, but not sensitive skin. My nightly skin routine goal is to cleanse and moisturize. Best skin possible. I've tried other oil cleansers. I've used CeraVe cleansing balm. I liked that a lot. It was simply too expensive and the balm didn't apply as silky smooth as this. My morning and night skin routines are a deliberate time to be in the moment. I don't hurry thru them. Sounds crazy. This is one of my anchor products.

I bought this along with the Hada Labo foaming cleanser. Wow, I am impressed. I have used many makeup wipes which didn’t remove my makeup very well and all the scrubbing irritated my skin. I tried the micellar waters, which to me are the same thing as makeup wipes, and don’t work very well. I’ve also used my grandma’s go-to (she had lovely skin), cold cream. The cold cream does moisturize my skin, but it is too heavy to use everyday, and messy to wash off. This cleansing oil is just what I was looking for. On a daily basis, I only wear waterproof mascara and a few layers of sunscreen throughout the day. I only need a few drops of oil, rub it into the mascara, then add warm water and rub it all over my face to dissolve the sunscreen. After rinsing again then washing my face with the face wash, there is not a speck of mascara left behind. If i’m wearing full makeup, my routine is the same, but I need about a half a pump instead to dissolve all of my makeup. No more waking up with eyeliner bits in the corner of my eyes! I have oily skin, but oils cleansers like this one don’t make my skin oilier if I wash them off afterwards as the second step. It actually cleans better, so I breakout less and have smaller clogged pores. This one emulsifies once water is added, and rinses off very cleanly. I also use tretinoin a few times a week, which makes my skin peel and more sensitive, but this product does not irritate my skin or burn at all. My skin would get so irritated trying to scrub layers of makeup off, then there would be makeup smudges on my towel after washing, and I’d always wake up with makeup bits in my eyes. A little bit of this product goes a long way, so I’m sure this bottle will last a long time. Also, I don’t have to spend so much time washing my face until my cheeks are red, only to have makeup left behind. This is a great product that I’d recommend to anyone.

I’m on tretinoin and found this through a random Reddit thread (as one does), and so far I’m actually really liking it. It’s super gentle and not drying at all, which is huge when your skin is already mad from tret. It doesn’t foam, which I don’t love because it’s not as satisfying to use, and I also don’t feel like it really removes makeup. For me this is more of a soft first step on a clean face, like to wake my skin up in the morning rather than a full cleanse. That said, it feels like it helps keep my skin barrier calm, and I don’t get that tight stripped feeling after. I always follow it with a barrier serum because on its own it’s not quite enough, but together they work really well. So far, so good. It fits into my tret routine perfectly and I’m happy to keep using it alongside my other products.

Very effective in removing makeup, does not cause eye sting and has a wonderful slippy but still non-oily feel. One of the best!

Hadalabo Gokujun Cleansing Oil Is literally the best cleansing oil I’ve ever used. I’m super picky when it comes to my skincare products and skin. I used Dermalogica Cleansing Oil for years, it’s amazing but it’s also absurdly expensive. So, I decided to look for another brand that wouldn’t cause breakouts or skin irritation and remove all of my makeup and save some money. I have everything I was looking for in this cleansing oil! I have been using it for about a year now and I will never use anything else! It easily removes waterproof mascara without having to scrub, every bit of sweat resistant foundation and I found it will even remove waterproof/sweat proof Dermablend body makeup. When using this product, remember this is a cleanser to break down and remove makeup, dirt, pollution and exposure to things like hair products or whatever May land on your face during the day. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED AS YOUR ONLY CLEANSING PRODUCT! You need to use a gentle facial cleanser after you use the oil. If you use this as your only cleanser, yes, your face will break out. However, as long as you use it as intended, as one of your cleansing steps and not the only step you take, you will have clean, hydrated skin and a flawless complexion! Happy shopping!
