Pros
I used the Shu Uemura cleansing oil, but it was expensive, so I kept searching for another cleansing oil to settle on. As a combination skin type with dehydration, I prefer cleansing oils because they not only remove my makeup, but also dissolve the sebum clogged in my pores, leaving my skin feeling clean. However, it was difficult to find a cleansing oil that suited my skin as I tend to have a lot of breakouts. When I first used the Shu Uemura cleansing oil, I noticed some grainy particles coming off as I massaged it in, which I believe were the impurities trapped in my pores. Thoroughly massaging it until the particles dissolved left my skin clean and refreshed the next morning without any blackheads. After searching for a more affordable alternative, I settled on the Skinfood Black Sugar cleansing oil. It has a similar 'pore-clearing' effect as the Shu Uemura one, but it feels a bit heavier and more oily. However, the refreshed feeling after cleansing is comparable. I've been using it for over a year now, and was surprised to learn today from Hwahae that the ingredients aren't as skin-friendly as I thought. But since it works well for my skin without causing any issues, I plan to continue using it.
Cons
While I like that the Skinfood Black Sugar cleansing oil has a similar 'pore-clearing' effect as the Shu Uemura one, it does feel a bit heavier and more oily. The Shu Uemura one feels more refreshing after rinsing it off with water. As a oily skin type, I prefer that clean, refreshed feeling after cleansing. But for dry skin types, the slightly heavier texture of the Skinfood one may be more suitable and not leave the skin feeling too dry.

Pros
The blackheads come out well. When I rub it with my bare hands, I can feel that the areas with a lot of sebum secretion and blackheads become clean. The scent is nice, with a sweet aroma.
Cons
The amount is small. I purchased it when it was released as a large-volume product. The volume was good at that time.
Tip
When the black sugar scrub feels a bit painful, I dispense some onto my palm along with cleansing oil and gently rub it in.

Pros
At first, it applies heavily. When massaged, it becomes soft and smooth. Sebum comes out. (The product is not clumped and spreading) The oil dissolves in water and washes off lightly and cleanly. Considering this performance, the price is also affordable.
Cons
Recently, the package has been renewed and the basic volume has increased by 30mm, so the price has gone up by about 6,000 won.
Tip
If your skin is very dry, you can just cleanse with water.

Pros
The areas with sebum, like the T-zone, feel cleaner and better cleansed.

After using it, my face immediately turns red and feels dry and tight.
Tip
I think people with sensitive skin should avoid using this.

Pros
It's just about the same as a regular cleansing, it removes some sebum as well..
Cons
After using this, I kept getting one or two acne spots on my sebum plugs. I tried using another cleansing water, thinking it might be a problem, but when I went back to using this one, the sebum plugs and acne came back up.

Pros
Even though I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, it feels refreshing to wash off compared to other oils. And I can feel the sebum on my nose melting away.
Cons
Wow, I've been getting a lot of whiteheads on my chin, like serious acne. And my forehead is just as bad, I don't know what's going on. The Skinfood Black Sugar Essence?? I used that too and had a similar reaction, but I'm never buying Skinfood again.

Pros
I can feel the sebum coming out! After using it, the blackheads have diminished slightly, but they have disappeared ~~
Cons
I haven't felt anything special yet, but when using the oil alone, the finish isn't clean enough, so I have to use the oil and then use the foam once more...

Pros
As it is an oil, it leaves a moisturized feeling that lasts long, and it also effectively removes stubborn sebum. I've noticed a significant reduction in my dead skin cells and whiteheads.
Cons
Those with oily skin types may be surprised by the oil content.

Pros
The blackheads and whiteheads seemed to come out easily, but other than that, it was just okay... It had a nice scent, I guess?
Cons
After using it for just a week, it gave me skin that was completely flipped upside down, like trash. Don't buy it. I won't say anything to those with skin of steel, though.
