This is my first time using a cleansing oil! 1 I was pleased that the ingredients were clean. As long as I rinsed it off well, it didn't cause any trouble. 2 The cleansing power also seemed quite good. 3 The packaging is convenient - it clicks shut and doesn't leak, which I really liked. I've dropped it multiple times, but it's surprisingly still in perfect condition.
Cons1 I wouldn't recommend it for blackhead removal. The effect was minimal. You could try using a pore brush to scrub thoroughly, but I'd suggest getting a different product instead. 2 In my subjective opinion, there was some residue left behind. If you don't do a second cleanse, it feels a bit slippery. 3 If you don't wash it off thoroughly, it can cause breakouts. You really need to be diligent about it. Using it daily might be too much.
TipI follow up by using this and then washing with a cleansing foam. That seemed to help with oil control a bit. The key is to apply a soothing gel or moisturizing cream afterwards - otherwise, the issues come back.

You know those stubborn, hard bumps that won't pop on your chin, right? So even though I knew that cleansing oils are good for managing sebum, I was hesitant to use them. In this regard, the Canna Barrier Cleansing Oil has been satisfactory! It's been just under a week since I started using it, and I haven't had any breakouts. I haven't experienced any irritation or discomfort while using it either~ The formula is similar to regular cleansing oils, but it's a bit more fluid and lightweight in texture. The cleansing power is also good. Since I only wear light base makeup and a touch of lip product, I was able to remove everything without needing a second cleanse. Plus, it thoroughly cleansed away any unnecessary sebum and impurities, leaving my skin looking even cleaner after washing! The emulsification is also satisfactory, and I'm enjoying using it.
ConsFor heavy eye makeup or highly pigmented lip products, you'll need to use a separate makeup remover. Eyeliners, for example, don't get completely removed, and some residue remains. That's why I've deducted one star!
TipI followed the emulsification cleansing method I saw on YouTube, and it was definitely effective. I'd recommend trying that out!

I really disliked oil-based cleansers because they usually feel too heavy and stuffy, but this one has a light and non-stuffy texture, so I was able to use it without any aversion!!⭐️
ConsI have dry skin with just the nose area being oily. Even famous products with good ingredients often don't suit me, and I often end up with breakouts.ㅠㅅㅠ I used this product diligently for 3 days, but then suddenly had a breakout,,, 🔥 I usually do double cleansing to really see the cleansing power and residue, but I only used this product this time. There was definitely some residue left behind.🔥 The ingredients are good, but of course cosmetics have individual differences, so I don't think this is an outright bad product! However, those with sensitive skin may want to think it over carefully before purchasing.🙂
TipSince it's an oil-based product, using slightly warm-to-warm water for cleansing results in much less residue!! ㅎㅅㅎ

Not the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, but something else. This cleansing oil has a refreshing feel to it and isn't too heavy, making it easy to use! And after the emulsification process, it rinses off easily, making it convenient to use! The price is also quite reasonable for what it is.
ConsThis is a really serious downside.. The makeup just doesn't come off easily ㅠ I remove my lips and eyes separately with a remover, and then do my whole facial cleansing with just this cleansing oil, but even after rinsing it all off, residue comes out when I wipe with a cotton pad, and I was really shocked ㅠ I always wipe with a cotton pad to make sure it's thoroughly cleaned, but when I used this oil, the residue came out ㅠㅠ I didn't even have that heavy of a makeup look on, just foundation ㅠ I didn't use a setting spray or anything. The cleansing power is really disappointing ㅠ
TipI don't recommend using it on its own!

It removes makeup so well with just a small amount. As the name 'Deep Cleansing' suggests, it cleanses gently yet effectively. I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts while using it. It's great that it removes makeup thoroughly even with minimal effort. As for improving whiteheads and blackheads, I'm not sure yet, but I'll update my review after using it more. I noticed that the blackheads were visibly reduced, though they weren't completely removed. Just seeing them diminish makes me feel good. Compared to other cleansing oils, this one seems to be more effective in rolling out blackheads.
ConsWhen I use this product, it often gets into my eyes, making them look pale and bloodshot. However, this may be due to the residual makeup being removed, not necessarily because of the product itself. I used to use cotton pads for makeup removal, but I've been trying to avoid that lately.

I didn't use cleansing oils much because they felt greasy and slippery, and even after washing, I still felt like the makeup wasn't fully removed. The cleansing tissues and cleansing waters (used with cotton pads) were really irritating to my skin - my face would sometimes sting when I rubbed it. But with this cleansing oil, since you wash it off with water, there's hardly any irritation, and the emulsification works really well, so there's this satisfying feeling when you're rinsing it off. #Effective Exfoliation - The most noticeable effect was on my lips. My skin is dry, but my lips are super dry (;;), and using this product to remove lipstick and gently exfoliate my lips left them feeling soft and moisturized even after cleansing. The lip exfoliation works really well too! Overall, my skin texture improved (probably thanks to the effective exfoliation), there's no tightness after cleansing, and the moisturized feeling lasts relatively long. I don't usually do heavy makeup, so I'm not sure about the cleansing power for that, but this cleansing oil cleanses gently and leaves a light, refreshing feel, without the heavy, sticky sensation of some oils.
Cons#Double Cleansing is Needed - There are some cleansing oils that you can just rinse off with water, but with this one, if you just use water, there's a slippery, residual feeling left on the skin. So I always end up doing a double cleanse. That's why I took off one star.^^;;
TipIf you have a lot of lip flakiness, try gently massaging this oil onto your lips during cleansing, then rinse it off thoroughly. And don't forget to apply lip balm right away before your lips get dry!

There's no residue left after washing, and that's the most impressive part for me. Overall, I think it's a pretty clean product. The scent is like herbs, and I like it.
ConsThe cleansing power is good, but it doesn't do a great job of melting away sebum. It makes my skin feel a bit soft and supple, but the exfoliating function is a bit lacking. I used it for that purpose, and I was a bit disappointed.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin type is combination (oily T-zone and dry cheeks) and extremely sensitive, especially in the summer. I've had issues with using cleansing pads containing menthol ingredients, as they caused stubborn acne breakouts. Similarly, products with ingredients like shea butter that clog pores also tend to trigger acne for me. While I try to keep my skincare routine well-balanced, simply focusing on hydration isn't enough, as that can lead to an uneven, tight feeling. I'm always aiming to build a strong, healthy skincare foundation. Acne isn't a constant issue for me, but I do tend to experience breakouts when using incompatible products or during the week before my menstrual cycle. ✔️ What I liked: - No irritation or sensitivity! I used this product for cleansing for 5 days straight, and it felt incredibly gentle, even on days when my skin was more reactive. The cica ingredient seems to be effective, as I was able to cleanse without any stinging or discomfort. - Great fragrance~ The scent is reminiscent of milky tea, not overly sweet but with a similar aroma to tea leaves. - Lovely packaging and excellent pump control Many oil cleansers from other brands dispense too much product with a single pump, or have inconvenient structures that cause the oil to spill. But this one dispenses the perfect amount, and I can easily control the flow by pressing down on the pump. - Effective cleansing Compared to other oil cleansers I've used, this one does an excellent job of removing foundation, eyeliner, and eyeshadow without leaving any residue.
Cons✔️ Aspects that could be improved: - Doesn't remove mascara very well As a combination skin type, I alternate between oil and water-based cleansers depending on my skin's needs. Compared to other oil cleansers I've used, this one doesn't do as good of a job at removing stubborn mascara. It does remove it, but requires a lot of rubbing, and there's still some residue left behind. - Leaves a slight residual feeling after emulsifying and rinsing I generally prefer double-cleansing, but I do enjoy oil cleansers that rinse off cleanly after emulsifying, without leaving any oily or sticky residue. In this case, I found the after-feel to be a bit less than ideal. This may not be an issue for those with very dry skin or those who dislike any lingering oiliness. - Unsure about effectiveness on whiteheads One of the reasons I use oil cleansers is to help manage whiteheads and sebum around the nose area. But I'm not entirely convinced this product has a significant impact beyond the cleansing itself.
Tip✔️ Tips: - If you're looking for a gentle, non-irritating oil cleanser, I would recommend this one! - If you use heavy-duty waterproof mascara, I suggest using a separate makeup remover in addition to this cleanser. - If you don't use a separate remover, be sure to really work the oil in and check thoroughly for any leftover mascara residue around the eyes afterwards. I found there was still quite a bit left behind. Personally, I don't think I'll be repurchasing this product, but it could still be a great option for those with similar skin concerns as mine.

It doesn't prevent whiteheads from forming or anything like that, but after washing your face, there are things you want to squeeze out with your hands, right?? Anyway, the number of those whiteheads decreases. Since receiving the product about 2 weeks ago, I've been using it every day, and compared to the product I was using before, it's definitely effective for whiteheads. I'm not sure about the cleansing power for heavy makeup, as I usually just use sunscreen and a light foundation, but for my daily light makeup, it's all taken care of with just three pumps of the oil. The scent is also so light that it's practically unscented, which is nice. (Additional) I repurchased after finishing the first bottle. I used 3 pumps each time, and it lasted me about 3 months of weekday and weekend use. When massaging the oil into the skin, you can feel little granules, which are like sebum that comes out without having to manually extract it, so it's less irritating to the skin. While it hasn't definitively reduced the whiteheads, as I mentioned before, the visible whiteheads are somewhat removed when cleansing with the oil in the evening after makeup. It doesn't prevent whitehead formation, but it does remove existing whiteheads. If you have oily skin with dehydration and need daily whitehead management, I think this would be a good product to try.
ConsThe oil is quite thick. These days, lightweight oil products seem to be popular, but this one leaves a somewhat greasy feeling even after the emulsification process, to the point where a second cleansing step is necessary. (Additional) In the winter, the second cleansing step may not be necessary, as the skin gets drier. The sales channels are not very diverse - it seems to be available only on the official website or on the Hwahae platform.
TipI saw some beauty YouTubers recommend using 7-8 pumps of this oil, but for this product, using that much at once would require a ton of water. Three pumps or so is a good amount to use. The whiteheads that aren't removed by this oil are likely already swollen due to the oil, so gently removing them with a gauze or doing a second cleanse with a slightly exfoliating face wash or something like Lush's Angels on Bare Skin would be a good idea!! (9.21 update: I wasn't aware of the controversy around Lush using Japanese-sourced ingredients, so I don't actually recommend that product. I'll just use up what I have and not purchase it again.)

It emulsifies well, providing excellent cleansing results. The fragrance may be divisive, but I personally enjoy it.
ConsIf you don't double cleanse, there is a noticeable residue left behind, so double cleansing is recommended. The product is relatively gentle, but when my skin was in poor condition, I felt a stinging sensation when using it.
