It's the best at removing makeup among all the oils I've used. You don't even need a separate eye or lip remover - it takes off most mascaras and eye makeup effortlessly. Plus, it's fragrance-free, which I really appreciate as someone who doesn't like scented oils. The texture is quite fluid, like water. However, I should caution that it might leave a slightly tight feeling after use, so I'd be careful recommending it to those with super sensitive skin or deep dryness. On the bright side, you get a generous amount, so it lasts for ages!
ConsThe water-like consistency can be a bit tricky to handle - it tends to run down your arms, which can be inconvenient. Also, I never really understood what people meant by skin feeling 'tight' until I used this oil. There were a few times when I didn't follow up with a foam cleanser properly, and I ended up with some blemishes. Apart from these issues, everything else about the product was pretty good!
TipFor efficient use, pump the product two or three times onto dry hands. Then, apply it evenly on your cheeks and forehead, gently massaging in circular motions. This method helps you use the oil economically while ensuring effective cleansing.

The lovely fragrance makes me feel refreshed every time I use it. It's formulated with gentle ingredients, so I feel confident using it without worry!
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the emulsification isn't noticeably visible when rinsing.
TipThis product would be perfect for those who've been avoiding cleansing oils due to their off-putting scents or heavy feel! It's particularly suitable for acne-prone skin and is gentle enough that I'd recommend it for men too!

It's not overpowering to anyone. When you pump it, the foam is gentle, but it has good cleansing effectiveness. It's mild and soft on the skin, though it doesn't give that squeaky-clean feeling. I love this product so much that I plan to update my review after using it more.
ConsIt's a great product, but it's a shame it's not well-known. As a former developer turned product manager, I find that a bit disappointing.

After washing, my skin doesn't feel slippery or too dry, so I'm very satisfied with how it feels. The scent isn't that heavy oil smell, but rather a fresh fragrance that I don't think will be polarizing. It seems like a product that would work well for most people.
ConsThe ads claim it's great for removing sebum and blackheads, but in reality, it doesn't seem to live up to that level. For me, there's no 'wow!' dramatic effect. I bought it despite the slightly high price because it was supposed to be good for removing whiteheads and blackheads, but now I'm wondering if I'll really need to buy this again.
TipFor all cleansing oils, it's important to thoroughly cleanse with gentle rolling and emulsification.

The scent isn't off-putting either. I occasionally get large pimples, but after using this, they don't leave marks. It seems gentle enough even for sensitive skin.
ConsWhile it's effective at removing sebum, I feel like I've gotten more pustular acne. I've been using it for about a month, but my skin condition seems unchanged.

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, the scent is like fresh, healthy greens - it's invigorating and pleasant, which makes for an enjoyable user experience. It's a crisp fragrance that likely won't divide opinions. The texture is standard, but its cleansing effectiveness is really impressive. It removes most skin makeup and color cosmetics thoroughly. After use, I didn't experience any blemishes, and I noticed my blackheads becoming more refined over time. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
ConsAs someone with oily skin, I don't find it particularly problematic, but due to the LHA ingredients, it felt a bit more drying right after use compared to other cleansers. However, considering its cleansing power, this level of dryness seems just right for your skincare products to absorb well afterwards. I didn't experience any deep dryness.
TipGiven its strong cleansing effectiveness, you probably won't need a second cleanser with enzyme ingredients, dead skin cell care, or mild alkaline formulas. I found that using a gentle pH-balanced foam cleanser followed by a solid skincare routine allows for a well-absorbed night care regimen.

User experience: I used it like a typical cleansing oil, rolling it on and then emulsifying before rinsing. It feels gentle on the skin, yet seems to cleanse effectively. After cleansing, there's no residue, leaving the skin feeling fresh and clean. Compared to other oils, it's lighter and less heavy, giving a sense of thorough cleansing. The finish leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. Scent: There's a subtle scent, perhaps grape-like? A fresh, sweet aroma? Or maybe a hint of greenery? It's not overpowering.
ConsThe scent might not appeal to those who prefer fragrance-free products or are sensitive to fragrances. Be careful when pumping the product from the container.
TipThe emulsification process is crucial for removing sebum effectively. A second cleanse is essential after using the cleansing oil. Tiny oil residues can potentially clog pores and cause blemishes if not removed properly.

Texture: Among cleansing oils, some have a heavy and thick feel, but the 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil' is surprisingly light and gentle for an oil. As someone who uses cleansing oils but doesn't prefer overly oily products, I actually liked this! Scent: It has a slightly more artificial scent compared to other oils I've used, which was a bit surprising. It's fresh and floral? When cleansing oils emulsify, they can sometimes get into your mouth, and that's when I really noticed the scent. People who aren't used to oils might actually prefer this, as sometimes the lack of scent in oils can be off-putting. Hydration: I have sensitive combination dehydrated skin, so I always use cleansing oils as they work best for me. However, the moisturizing effect varies between different cleansing oils. With the 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil', I felt like my skin was being replenished with hydration. Even after double cleansing, my skin felt soft and much less dry when I touched it - this was what I liked most about it. Cleansing effectiveness: After using color makeup + mascara + eyeliner, the 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil' alone removed everything completely. It was also excellent at removing excess sebum. On days when I do my first cleanse, I tend to take my time, and since this oil effectively removed sebum too, I didn't need to exfoliate separately when using it 2-3 times a week. I definitely noticed that my makeup went on more smoothly the day after using it. Other points: The cleansing oils I've used before had caps that needed to be taken on and off, which was a bit inconvenient for me as I often go camping or swimming. I'd sometimes worry about losing the cap and the oil leaking out. However, the 'Vegan Effect Barley Cleansing Oil' has a cap that can be turned to 'OPEN' for use and 'CLOSE' for storage, which I found extremely convenient.
ConsAfter using it for 13 days, I didn't really notice any drawbacks, but I felt that the scent could be a bit less strong and it would still be fine.

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.ProsAs someone who uses sunscreen daily and always relies on oil for my first cleanse, I find this Vegan Effect product perfect for that initial cleansing step! It feels gentle, and after using it, my skin feels less dry with reduced tightness, which I absolutely love! Two pumps are just the right amount - it's generous enough. I've heard using too little cleanser can actually be counterproductive! With two pumps, I can cleanse my entire face smoothly. As for the scent, it has a subtle natural fragrance which I personally adore. If you prefer unscented products, you might want to consider that before purchasing.
ConsWhile it works well for removing light makeup like sunscreen during the first cleanse, I noticed it doesn't completely remove heavier, full-face makeup. The cleansing effectiveness isn't bad, but when I'm wearing more intense makeup, it doesn't remove everything thoroughly, which can lead to some skin irritation.
TipInstead of using pore strips, I love applying the oil to a cotton pad, placing it on my nose, and then gently wiping. It's a great way to remove blackheads without irritation!

Compared to Witch's Potion, the Vegan Effect product feels even lighter and more fluid! Scent: It might be hit or miss for some, but personally, I found the fresh, green fragrance pleasant - it gives the impression of being gentle on the skin. Cleansing effectiveness: Despite its lightweight feel, I needn't have worried about its cleansing power. It removes makeup thoroughly - no concerns here! Application: Unlike other cleansing oils that can feel greasy, this one leaves more of a... hydrated feeling? It glides on without any slippery residue, feeling gentle and light on the skin. Results: To be honest, after just a week, I haven't noticed any dramatic effects. I'll update after using it longer. Update (2025/05/15) after finishing the bottle: This cleansing oil is fantastic! Switching from Witch's Potion, I fell in love with its light texture. Despite being so lightweight, its cleansing power is impressive. I can feel little bumps and sebum being removed every time I use it! I thought it was just me, but when I lent it to friends, they all raved about it. Everyone's satisfied with how it cleanses so well and removes texture and sebum, despite having a water-like consistency for a cleansing oil! Repurchase intention: I've been repurchasing Witch's Potion for ages, but now I'm ready to switch to this! Satisfaction: Solid performance. I've tried cleansing oils from Hanskin (BHA), Witch's Potion, Chungmijung, and B.plane, and honestly, they're all pretty similar... Among those, Chungbori ranks well in terms of after-feel and application, so keep that in mind. Photo description: 1st photo - Before use 2nd photo - After use 3rd photo - Right after washing Looking at the photos, there seems to be a slight improvement in blackheads.
ConsThe lightweight texture means you end up pumping out more product. Also, the cap tends to leak...
TipThe golden tip for using cleansing oil is just one thing - the emulsification process! Massage the oil on dry hands and face for no more than a minute - 30 seconds is ideal. The key is to take your time with the emulsification step. Many people know this, but surprisingly, quite a few don't - it's a simple yet effective tip.
