Would repurchase
9/10: Very runny and emulsifies quickly, removes makeup efficiently; repurchased 3 times. Downside: fragranced with a herbal scent and tends to leak during travel even with the pump lock.
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
100/10: this is my favourite right now: has the right runny consistency, no fragrance. Downside: does not come with a pump lock (I took the one from my SKIN1004 oil as it has the same packaging)
haruharu wonder - Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil
10/10: fragrance-free, doesn’t irritate eyes even when I used to wear waterproof mascara everyday. long-time favourite, repurchased ~10 times and I have used it for years since I was in high school. slightly thicker texture.
Fancl - Mild Cleansing Oil
Wouldn't repurchase
2/10: it irritates my eyes as it has a strong fragrance, and leaves a slightly stripped, filmy feeling. Not repurchasing
Shu Uemura - Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil
4/10: feels thick and heavy, harder to spread so it takes more effort to remove makeup. But I just prefer cleansing oils
BANILA CO - Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm Jumbo
7/10: basic and does the job but thicker in consistency, makes vision cloudy for a bit after use. I prefer others, so wouldn't repurchase myself
DHC - Deep Cleansing Oil
7/10: decent cleansing oil that is runny and emulsifies quickly, but it has a strong floral fragrance which makes my eyes sensitive when removing eye makeup.
ANUA - Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil - 200ml
8/10: a good cleansing oil with runny consistency; travel-friendly pump. Downside: it has a lemony fragrance that I do not like.
ROUND LAB - 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Oil
6/10: mild fragrance, but I prefer cleansing oils as they are easier to use and have pumps; balms feel thicker, messier to use, and less hygienic in the jar
