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.

The nice fragrance makes me feel refreshed every time I use the oil. It is made with mild ingredients, so I can use it with confidence!
ConsIt's a pity that the oil painting reaction is not visibly apparent.
TipIt seems like it would be great for those who have avoided using cleansing oils due to the unpleasant fragrance and heaviness of the oil itself! Particularly, it is suitable for acne-prone skin and is low-irritation, so I also recommend it for men!

It's the kind of scent that won't bother anyone. While the lather is not very thick, the cleansing power is good. It's gentle and soft, not overly foamy. I love this product so much that I plan to update my review after further use.
ConsIt's a good product, but it's a pity that it hasn't gained much attention. As a planner who is a former developer, that's a bit disappointing.

After washing, it doesn't feel slippery or overly dry, so the usage experience is very satisfactory. The fragrance is not the greasy smell of oils, but a slightly fresh scent that doesn't seem to divide opinions, so I think it will be widely usable.
ConsThe advertisements often claim that the product effectively removes sebum and blackheads, but in reality, it's not as dramatic as they make it out to be. I haven't experienced any wow-factor effects from using it. I bought the product because it was said to be good for removing whiteheads and blackheads, even though it was a bit pricey. But next time, I'm not sure if I'll bother purchasing this product again.
TipAll cleansing oils require thorough cleansing through gentle rolling and emulsification.

The smell is not unpleasant enough to be objectionable. Occasionally, large pimples form, but they do not remain after use. It seems not to be irritating to sensitive skin.
ConsWhile the blackheads are being well removed, it seems that inflammatory acne has increased a bit. I've been using it for about a month, but my skin seems to be the same.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe fragrance is refreshing and pleasant, reminiscent of healthy herbal scents. It's a fragrance that won't be polarizing, with a refreshing aroma. The formula is standard, but the cleansing power is quite good. It effectively removes most skin makeup and color cosmetics. After use, there are no breakouts, and blackheads appear to be gradually diminished, so I would recommend this product.
ConsAs I have an oily skin type, I don't think it's a major issue, but the inclusion of lactic acid ingredients did make my skin feel a bit drier than other cleansers right after use. However, considering the cleansing power, this level of dryness is still at a point where the basic skincare routine can be properly absorbed. There was no uncomfortable tightness.
TipGiven the good cleansing power, you likely won't need an additional secondary cleansing step with an enzymatic or exfoliating product, or an alkaline cleansing wash. I found that using a mild acidic foam cleanser and then thoroughly applying my basic skincare routine was sufficient for effective nighttime care.

A hybrid between water and oil. 📌 Usage Experience Following the typical cleansing oil application method, I rolled it on and went through the emulsification process before rinsing. It had a gentle, smooth feel, but still effectively cleansed. After cleansing, there was no residue left, leaving a refreshing sensation. It was less heavy than other oils and rinsed off easily, leaving a soft, moisturized finish. 📌 Fragrance It has a grape-like or sweet, herbal fragrance that is not overpowering.
ConsThe fragrance may not be preferred by those who prefer unscented products or are sensitive to fragrances. One should be careful when pumping the product out of the container.
TipThe emulsification process is essential for removing excess sebum. A secondary cleansing after using the cleansing oil is recommended to ensure all oil residue is removed, as leftover oil can clog pores and cause blemishes.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHwahae Trial Reviewer's Review: Texture: Among cleansing oils, there are some that have a heavy and sticky feel, but the 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil' felt light and soft despite being an oil. I prefer not to use oily products, so I actually liked this aspect. Fragrance: The fragrance was a bit artificial compared to the oils I've used before. It's a refreshing floral scent, I'd say. Since cleansing oils go through an emulsification process, the fragrance can sometimes end up in your mouth. Those unfamiliar with oils might actually enjoy this fragrance, as I sometimes feel averse to oils without any scent. Moisturization: As someone with sensitive and dry skin, I've found cleansing oils to be the most effective for me, so I usually use them. However, different cleansing oils can provide varying levels of moisturization. The 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil' gave me a hydrated feeling. Even after double cleansing, my skin felt soft and less dry when I touched it, which I really liked. Cleansing Efficacy: When I used the 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil' alone to cleanse after using color cosmetics, mascara, and eyeliner, it removed everything thoroughly. It was also excellent at removing excess sebum. I tend to do a longer first cleanse, and with this oil's sebum-removing abilities, I didn't need to do additional exfoliation 2-3 times a week. As a result, I noticed my makeup applied better the next day. Other: The cleansing oils I've used before had caps that needed to be screwed on and off, which was a bit inconvenient for me as someone who goes camping and swimming. I was always worried about losing the cap and the oil leaking out. But the 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil' has a cap that can be turned to 'OPEN' for use and 'CLOSE' for storage, which was a really convenient feature for me.
ConsAfter using it for 13 days, I didn't really notice any downsides, but I felt the fragrance could be a bit less strong.

The Vegan Effect product seems perfect for this purpose. It has a gentle feel and my skin doesn't feel as dry or tight after using it. Just a couple pumps is enough to thoroughly cleanse my face. I've heard that using too little can actually be worse, so the amount is just right. Doing it twice ensures my whole face is cleansed gently and evenly. The scent has a natural, earthy vibe which I personally really enjoy. Those who prefer unscented products may want to consider that before purchasing.
ConsWhile it worked well for light makeup like sunscreen, I found it didn't remove fuller makeup coverage as thoroughly. The cleansing power wasn't bad, but for heavier makeup it left some residue behind, which made my skin feel a bit irritated.
TipInstead of using a pore strip, I love putting some of the oil on a cotton pad and gently sweeping it over my nose to remove blackheads. It's so effective yet gentle on my skin!

It removes everything completely🫢 You don't need to worry about this part 💚Usage Feel Other cleansing oil products leave an oily feeling after use, but the Vegan Effect Cleansing Oil has more of a moisturizing feel, rather than an oily one🤔 It's not exactly that, but it doesn't feel slippery either 💚Effectiveness To be honest, since I've only used it for a week, I couldn't really feel any remarkable effects🫠 I'll come back and update after using it more 💚Repurchase Intention Hmm.. Honestly, I don't feel a strong urge to repurchase 💚Satisfaction Average. I've tried cleansing oils from Hanskin (Bahar), Innisfree, Chungmijung, and Beplain, and to be honest, this is just about the same as those..Among them, the Chungbori one has a pretty decent finish and usage feel ☘️Additional Notes I feel a bit regretful that I had to write a review after such a short period of use, so I'll come back and add more after using it more❕ First photo - Before use Second photo - After use Third photo - Right after washing Looking at the photos, you can see a slight effect on the blackheads
ConsSince the texture is quite lightweight, I ended up pumping a lot. And the cap tends to leak a bit...
TipThe key tip for cleansing oils is just one thing..! The emulsification process✨ Even if the massage time on dry hands and dry face with the oil is longer, it should be no more than 1 minute! 1 minute is even long, and 30 seconds is just right..!! The key is to thoroughly emulsify during the process😤 Many people may already know this, but it's a common tip that some people don't know.
