This will help remove the sebum particles. Most importantly, your skin will feel so much smoother after using it. If you've been stressed about uneven skin texture, I'd recommend this. If you don't have a gel cleanser, you can also wash off the oil with regular soap, but I'd suggest using the same line's barley gel cleanser. The two work well together. It has great cleansing power and there's no specific skin type it's recommended for.
ConsThe downside is not that it is, but that the oil is quite thin, so it's better not to apply too much, as it will just run down.
TipApply one pump to each cheek, and once on the forehead (which will cause it to drip down to the nose), then gently massage a small amount onto the chin. It works best on whiteheads or areas with visible sebum on the chin.

It is the best oil I've used so far in terms of cleansing ability - I didn't even need to use an eye or lip makeup remover, as it removed even stubborn mascara and eye makeup. And since it's fragrance-free, I, who don't really like scented oils, was very satisfied with it. The texture is like flowing water, and while there is a slight tightening sensation after using the oil, I would cautiously advise against it for those with dry skin. (Ah! And also for those with sensitive skin.) And since the quantity is quite generous, I was able to use it for a long time.
ConsThe product's fluid-like texture made my hands and arms feel a bit slippery, which was a little inconvenient. I also wasn't aware that my skin used to feel tightened, but after using this oil, I think I can now feel it a bit. When I didn't properly cleanse my face with a foam cleanser after using the oil, I did experience some skin issues. Other than that, I think everything else was fine!
TipWith dry hands, pump the dispenser two to three times, then use your right hand to lightly coat your cheeks and forehead with a small amount of oil. Gently roll the oil into the skin using your fingers to conserve the product.

I had a hard time with acne before when I used the wrong cleansing oil, so I stopped using cleansing oils for about 5 years. But this time, I tried it again as a first cleansing step to remove blackheads. I gently rolled it on my face and it came off in a soft, white, fluffy manner - it felt like it was effectively removing sebum. And when I added water and rolled it more, it lathered up nicely. The makeup came off very well with just this first cleansing, and it didn't have that heavy, oily feel. It was light and gentle, so my skin felt comfortable.
ConsSince it's so gentle, the formula seems quite thin and runny. It comes out almost like a toner, so you have to apply it directly to your face right after pumping it out, or else it will just run down your wrists and drip onto the floor.

While waterproof mascara may take a bit more time to remove completely, other high-coverage concealers also wipe off well.
ConsThe oil is a bit thin, so it tends to drip down before I can spread it all over my face. It's a shame.
TipI recommend pumping a small amount at a time instead of a large amount at once to prevent the oil from dripping down.

But this product has an extremely thin and lightweight texture, which I really liked. ●Fragrance, Finish: The fragrance is not too strong, and the finish after cleansing is not slippery or oily, but just the right amount of dryness. ●Whiteheads, Exfoliation: I'll have to use it for a while longer to see the effects on blackheads, but I could immediately feel the improvement in removing whiteheads and exfoliating. I often had a lot of buildup on my nose that would peel off, but after using this product, the buildup has significantly reduced. ☆Highly Effective for Underarm Cleansing: I strongly recommend this product for those who are concerned about underarm odor. I've been hesitant to use toners or alcohol swabs because they are too harsh, and using just soap would leave my skin overly dry and the effect would be temporary. But using the Glow Cheonbo Rice Cleansing Oil for underarm cleansing during showers has kept my underarms fresh without drying them out. ㅡㅡㅡ With its great cleansing power and refreshing finish, I've been using this as a replacement for cleansing foam. During the fall and winter when my skin gets very dry, I follow up with an ampoule or moisturizer after cleansing.
ConsThe extremely thin and runny texture may be a point of contention, as it can easily drip down to your wrists while rolling it on your face. It would be great if this product came in a larger size as well.
Tip[My Usual Routine] Before cleansing - Lightly massage with a cleansing oil and rinse Skincare (with centella) - For any cystic acne on my nose, I dab on a small amount of acnocon cream ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ In my shower routine, before using body wash, I apply the cleansing oil to my underarms, roll it around, and then rinse it off during the shower. This helps control body odor. 👍

The formula was not too watery or too sticky, just a typical oil-based formula. I used it for 3 consecutive nights as an evening skincare step after just applying sunscreen, and it removed well without any issues. Even though I was worried about it being oily for my acne-prone skin, I didn't experience any new breakouts. I definitely feel that my nose blackheads have become less noticeable compared to before.
ConsI haven't noticed any major issues so far. However, it does feel a bit too watery and runny. If it had a bit more viscosity, it would be easier to contain in the palm of my hand. Also, the pump feels a bit stiff. Maybe it's because the pump is a flat square shape rather than a round straw-like shape that other products have, which tend to pump more smoothly.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsPersonally, the most important aspect I consider in a cleansing oil is how well it dissolves dead skin cells and whether it is non-irritating to the eyes. As I have sensitive skin, I cannot use peeling products and instead gently dissolve blackheads and dead skin with a cleansing oil. In the past, I used a product that was very satisfactory for dealing with dead skin and blackheads, but it seems to have had an irritating ingredient that even caused conjunctivitis. So, whether a product is non-irritating to the eyes is also a very important consideration for me. This is the first time I'm trying this product, so I used it cautiously, and after cleansing, my eyes were not significantly reddened or irritated, so it passed the eye irritation test! However, in terms of dealing with dead skin... While the product claims to be very effective even for whiteheads, I'm not sure if it actually dissolves them well. After using this product, my nose and chin area didn't feel as smooth as when I used my previous product. As for other features, the scent is a bit unique, so there may be some differences in preferences.
ConsThe way people use a product on their skin can vary, and the user experience may also differ. I mentioned a few downsides above. An objective downside I can point out is that the product is too runny. When I pump it out to apply on my face, about half of it ends up on my wrists and forearms before I can spread it on my face. Even when I try to pump and apply it to my face little by little, it still ends up flowing down to my wrists and elbows as I massage it in.

However, this product's formula is not as oily, so it feels good to use often! It doesn't irritate much, but the cleansing performance is solid. It also seems to work well for removing excess sebum!
ConsThe formula may be a bit too thin, so it could be inconvenient if it tends to drip.
TipWith cleansing oils, the emulsification process is really important, so be sure to rinse it off with warm water and gently roll it between your fingers.

I have oily, acne-prone skin with large pores and uneven texture, but after using this cleansing oil, I've replaced the product I've been using for 10 years. Firstly, compared to other cleansing oils, this one has a thinner consistency, so it rolls on the skin very well and effectively dissolves blackheads and sebum in a short time. It also has excellent makeup and sunscreen removal power. Particularly, it has great water-solubility, so the emulsification works very well. When rinsing with water, there's no sticky or greasy feeling left on the skin, and my skin feels refreshed even after the second cleansing. Using this product consistently has helped resolve my sebum and dead skin issues, and my skin texture has improved. I hope this product doesn't get discontinued - it's a true holy grail item for me!! I strongly recommend this to those with a similar skin type as mine, as it's excellent for sebum removal.
ConsThe thin consistency that allows for easy rolling has the downside of making it easy to use too much. Since it flows down like water, you need to keep pumping more to massage it gently, which leads to faster consumption. It's difficult to use a small amount, and you need to use a generous amount to effectively remove sebum, so the product may feel like it runs out quickly compared to the price. I wish a larger size was available at a good price point.
TipIt's a bit of a waste, but you need to use a generous amount and massage it well to remove sebum and uneven texture without irritation. Since the cleansing oil tends to flow down, it's good to pump and roll it on intermittently. Be sure to go through the emulsification process as well. If you use it consistently while following the proper method, you'll feel your skin texture becoming smoother over time.

The combination of a slightly cool pine-like fragrance, herbal notes, and a hint of citrus was just wonderful. The texture is a bit runny, so it does tend to drip, but it removes all kinds of impurities and makeup very well. After applying it to my face and letting it sit for about 10 seconds, I gently massaged it in a rolling motion, and all the clogged pores and sebum were effectively cleared out. I usually do a double cleanse, using an oil cleanser first and then a foam cleanser, and I found that when I used this product, I had fewer breakouts compared to when I skipped the oil cleansing step. It's a bit of a hassle, but the lack of blemishes makes it totally worth it. I highly recommend this product.
ConsThere were no breakouts. The only downside was that the texture was a bit too runny, causing it to drip, but other than that, I really liked everything about it.
TipFor those who wear heavy makeup, frequently apply makeup, or tend to have trouble with cleansing and experience breakouts or blemishes, I would recommend using an oil cleanser as the first step, followed by a good quality foam cleanser. Even when using a highly effective foam cleanser alone, I would still sometimes have issues with breakouts the next day. But after incorporating the oil cleansing step with this product, I found that my skin stayed much clearer. It's a bit of an extra hassle, but the results are worth it. I highly recommend this product for those looking to improve their cleansing routine and achieve clearer, healthier skin.
