With vegan components like fermented kombucha, panthenol, and plant-based oils, it's packed with moisturizing elements that hydrate without causing tightness. I love that the formula doesn't drip, so you can use it at your vanity instead of just in the bathroom. When pumped out, it has a moisturizer-like texture, but as you gently massage it in, it transforms into an oil-like consistency. As someone who rarely wears makeup, I'm satisfied with its cleansing effectiveness. It's great that it leaves my skin feeling hydrated without any dryness.
ConsSo far, it feels gentle, but I'll need to use it longer to see if it actually removes whiteheads and blackheads.
TipSince it doesn't run, I can apply it at my vanity, massaging it onto my face before heading to the bathroom. It's convenient that you don't have to keep it in a humid environment.

There's a slight slippery feeling after use, so I recommend a second cleanse! However, if you can tolerate that slipperiness and just rinse thoroughly with water, your skin feels incredibly soft. For those with dry skin, try skipping the second cleanse, just rinse well with water, and move on to your skincare routine. It leaves your skin super soft without any tightness, which is great! Consistency: Initially, it's a thick cream that's a bit difficult to spread. As time passes, it becomes more oily and easier to massage. I always gently massaged it until it reached an oil-like consistency before use. Scent: The fragrance seems to come from the ingredients themselves. It's not overpowering and quite neutral! It's neither unpleasant enough to be bothersome nor artificially fragranced, which is a plus.
ConsIt can cause eye discomfort. Avoid massaging around the eyes and rinse that area last. It's not particularly effective at removing whiteheads or dead skin cells, so you might need to use additional products or an exfoliating toner. On the bright side, while some cleansing oils can be too harsh for daily use, this product is gentle enough to replace your cleansing milk on days you use it.
TipSince I'm not a fan of overly thick textures and to avoid potential skin irritation, I like to work it into a slightly oily consistency in my hands before gently massaging it onto my face!

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.ProsThe packaging and design are incredibly luxurious and beautiful. It feels like a gift to yourself, making it a treat for the eyes every time you use it. The texture is, as the name suggests, jelly-like, and I experienced no eye irritation while using it. The scent is subtle, so it's likely to appeal to everyone. The application method is similar to emulsifying cleansing oils, and the instructions come with helpful photos.
ConsWhile it doesn't cause additional blemishes, it doesn't seem to significantly help in reducing them either. Unlike some other oils, such as those from Manyo Factory, you don't get that satisfying feeling of removing blackheads and whiteheads - probably because of its gel texture. Also, its cleansing power isn't extraordinary. After emulsifying, it feels a bit more slippery? That's why I followed up with foam cleanser twice when using this product. I also noticed more residue coming off when using an exfoliating toner afterward.
TipI'd recommend this more for those with dry skin rather than oily, blemish-prone skin like mine. It seems great for gently removing light makeup like sunscreen on days when you're wearing minimal products!

Initially, it applies thick (but not solid) without dripping. After a while, it becomes slippery like oil. However, out of 6 uses, this transformation only happened twice. The other 4 times, it remained thick during emulsification. It seems to become oilier over time, but this process takes quite a while. ▪ Sensitivity: I have acne-prone skin (both pustules and whiteheads), but this product didn't aggravate it. The ingredients seem very gentle (even the scent feels somewhat natural... though not strong). Unlike other reviews, I felt a slight sting when it got into my eyes. It wasn't unbearable, just noticeable. However, it didn't cloud my vision. ▪ What I liked: As mentioned, the texture is between a cleansing balm and oil, which made it very pleasant to use. I usually use both balms and oils, but found oils too runny (often getting into my eyes) and balms inconvenient (needing a spoon). This product solved both issues, making it very convenient. I'll likely repurchase when I run out.
Cons▪ Not particularly effective for blackhead removal. ▪ Would be better if it had a cap to prevent water from getting in. I had to be careful not to splash water near the opening during emulsification.
Tip▪ Rubbing it between your hands before applying to your face makes cleansing easier.

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.Pros1. Scent Nearly fragrance-free 2. Texture Somewhere between a cleansing balm and oil Convenient like a cleansing balm as it doesn't require prolonged rubbing, and doesn't drip like an oil. The texture feels similar to dispensing conditioner 3. Cleansing effectiveness Seems to have good cleansing power. I liked how well it removed eyeliner 4. Skin feels There's a slight residue It might be difficult to complete cleansing with just Kyne Oil Cleanser. After using it, my skin felt slippery, so I followed up with a cleansing foam 5. Packaging Very convenient with its pump dispenser. A major advantage in terms of ease of use 6. Suitability for sensitive skin: Good Despite my skin being extra sensitive during the seasonal change, I didn't experience any itching or tingling. Seems suitable for sensitive skin It felt incredibly gentle on my skin
Cons1. Eye irritation While it didn't irritate my skin, it really stung my eyes. Even when I kept my eyes tightly closed during cleansing, the eye area still stung. This needs improvement 2. Ineffective sebum removal It doesn't seem to have any effect on removing excess sebum

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.ProsSkin type: Combination dehydrated skin Scent: Almost fragrance-free, but if you really pay attention, it has a subtle ointment-like scent. I personally don't mind the fragrance either way, but those who prefer a pleasant scent or a noticeable fragrance should take note. Texture: It has a rich, slightly thick emulsion-like consistency. It really reminds me of a rich-flavored jelly! For the best results, I found it's better not to rush the cleansing process. Take your time massaging it in until it reaches peak thickness, then gradually add small amounts of water to emulsify it before rinsing it off completely. I actually enjoyed this routine in the evenings when I had more time. Even on makeup-free days, I loved using this product for a relaxing facial massage. The texture is soft and comfortable. User experience: After use, it removed makeup really well, but I noticed a slightly oily feeling afterwards. To combat this, I followed up with a foam cleanser to finish my routine. Eye irritation: No eye irritation at all. On days when I wore glittery eye makeup, I pumped 2-3 times onto a cotton pad and gently removed the makeup - this method worked great. Pros: Unlike cleansing oils that tend to drip, or cleansing creams that require wiping off with tissues before washing, this product doesn't run and doesn't need to be wiped off. You can just rinse it off, which is super convenient. Overall: This is definitely one of the products I've used with great satisfaction.
ConsThe product focuses solely on cleansing, so it doesn't seem particularly effective at removing blackheads or whiteheads.

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.ProsI usually only apply sunscreen, so I use a light cleansing water. I prefer water because when I use cleansing oil, blemishes can appear if I don't wash thoroughly. The emulsification process is such a hassle! Oh! But this jelly oil is light and refreshing! It doesn't have the runny drawback of oils, and it emulsifies quite quickly! With regular cleansing oils, no matter how well I emulsify and wipe with a sponge, I always feel like there's something heavy left on my skin, so I end up using foam cleanser twice. With this product, I felt clean after just one use. That doesn't mean its cleansing effectiveness is poor, though. I'm not sure about color cosmetics, but it removed sunscreen and lip products well. I'm very satisfied with this product as I didn't get any blemishes the next day.
ConsThe reason I occasionally use cleansing oil is for those days when I want to massage it onto my skin before washing to tackle blackheads or whiteheads... But this had no effect at all! It's not so much a downside as a heads up to save you some time!

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.ProsTexture Unlike typical cleansing oils, this one doesn't run. My previous cleansing oil would drip a lot during use, but the Kombu Jelly Oil Cleanser, being a jelly type, stays put. There's also less residue after rinsing! My usual cleansing oil left a strong sensation in my eyes, but I barely noticed any with this one. Cleansing Effectiveness It removes makeup incredibly well! As shown in the photo, it effectively cleanses not just base and color makeup, but even mascara. My go-to mascaras are waterproof and usually don't smudge or come off easily, but this removed them well! Still, since it's an oil cleanser meant for the first cleanse, I recommend following up with a second cleanse! After Use While I don't have particularly sensitive skin, I could tell this product is truly gentle! Being vegan, it's suitable for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. The ingredients are mild, so I felt safe using it! There was minimal tightness after use, leaving a nice finish! Pros 📌 1. Great cleansing effectiveness (If used thoroughly, you might be able to finish with just the first cleanse.) 2. No residue 3. Minimal skin tightness after use 4. Doesn't drip (I really love the texture of this product)
ConsSebum Removal It wasn't very effective for blackheads and sebum removal. While it seemed to remove some smaller ones, it didn't work well on most blackheads and sebum. I wouldn't recommend this product if your main goal is improving blackheads and sebum. For Very Dry Skin I have oily skin, but those with very dry skin might feel some dryness when using this. Cons 📌 Didn't see much improvement in blackheads and sebum removal. Not recommended for: Very dry skin Those aiming to improve sebum
TipFor hard-to-remove products like mascara, using it twice resulted in perfect removal! For smaller blackheads, using a bit more oil and emulsifying for about 30 seconds made removal possible!

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.ProsFirst off, although it's labeled as an oil, I loved its thicker consistency. Most oils I've used before would just run off, ending up half on my fingers and half on my face, feeling wasteful. But this one feels like you can spread it evenly all over! To be honest, I never expect oil cleansers to reach tricky areas like the eyelids well, so I didn't have high hopes. However, for the rest of the face, it seems to cleanse better than my previous cleansing oil. Assuming we all do double cleansing anyway, any slippery residue seems to wash off well. Plus, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated afterwards!
ConsNo matter what cleansing oil I use, my blackheads and whiteheads just won't budge. That's the hard truth. And then there's the price point! With so many affordable and decent products flooding the market these days, unless this shows dramatically better results compared to others, I might have made a poor choice with this price...

I didn't experience any blemishes, redness, or other issues. ▪️Unlike water-like formulas, this cleanser has a jelly-like texture true to its name. It doesn't run down your arms during the first cleanse, making it convenient to use.
Cons▪️Compared to my previous cleansing oil, I had to be more thorough with the second cleanse. It feels like it doesn't remove makeup as well and leaves an oily residue. ▪️It doesn't remove blackheads or whiteheads at all. ▪️Although it says not to use around the eyes, I tested its cleansing effectiveness on the back of my hand with powder-set concealer, mascara, and eyeliner for comparison. In the second photo, the top is my previous cleansing oil, and the bottom is this vegan jelly cleansing oil. While it removes concealer well, it barely touches mascara and eyeliner. These were actually removed better during the foam cleansing step. The third photo shows the results after using a cleansing foam. Though it's not clear in the photo, there are still traces of eyeliner left. This product is suitable for removing skin makeup but not effective for other types of makeup.
TipThis is a gentle product best suited for those who wear light makeup such as base makeup and eyebrow products.
