ANUA korean skin care Control Cleansing Oil Facial Oil Cleanser Makeup Remover Blackhead Remover Korean Skincare 200ml Original

Your new go-to double-cleanse essential for radiant, pore-refined skin

Whether you're removing a full-face of makeup or battling daily buildup, this lightweight oil cleanser does it all gently, effectively, and with soothing care.

 What Makes It Stand Out

  • Heartleaf Extract (10,000 ppm): A powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial botanical classic in K‑beauty. It calms redness, soothes irritation, and helps regulate oil production, making it especially beneficial for acne‑prone or sensitive skin 

  • Natural oils: Olive oil, grape seed oil, jojoba oil, and turmeric extract cleanse and hydrate without stripping essential moisture or compromising the skin barrier 

  • Formulated to emulsify easily when added to water, washing clean with no residue an essential step in double cleansing routines 

 Who It’s For

  • Ideal for dry, sensitive, or combination skin types looking for a gentle yet effective first cleanse 

  • Those seeking pore‑refining action, makeup removal, and smoother complexion. It’s been featured as a top pore-cleansing oil in beauty editorials 

  • Great for post‑sun, pollution, or SPF wearers, offering a soft and balanced finish.

 Important Considerations

Some users especially those with extremely acne-prone or sensitive skin—have reported breakouts or clogged pores after prolonged use:

“The oil cleanser broke me out… even if I double cleanse.”
“Major breakouts… closed comedones… deep inflamed cystic acne…”
“Eventually my skin got so bad it only cleared after I stopped using it.” 

While others find it gently effective, this feedback underscores how variably skin can react. Some say the product doesn’t cause purging—it may be a reaction to fragrance or certain esters like ethylhexyl palmitate that can clog pores for some people 

Tip: Patch-testing on the jawline before full-face use, and avoiding daily use at first, may help determine compatibility.

 How to Use It

  1. Apply a few drops to dry skin—massage in circular motions over makeup, sunscreen, and grime.

  2. Add water to emulsify—watch it turn milky—then rinse thoroughly.

  3. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser for a proper double cleanse.

  4. Proceed with toner → serum → moisturizer as your routine dictates.
