The texture is watery with a citrus scent, which I personally enjoyed using. It emulsifies extremely quickly, significantly reducing the time needed for the first cleanse.
ConsPerhaps because I had high expectations after reading the product details, I found quite a few disappointing aspects... The most disappointing was that I could hardly feel any improvement in pores and sebum control. Also, as I have super sensitive skin, I always check for eye irritation when choosing cleansing products, and this one did cause some discomfort around the eyes... I'm not sure if it didn't suit my skin, but after use, I developed some folliculitis-like blemishes around my cheek pores and experienced itching, which was unfortunate. As for cleansing effectiveness, while it removed face makeup, it barely touched eye makeup, so I had to use a separate lip and eye makeup remover.

Sorry for not warning you! - Ever since I heard a foreign skincare expert say that cleansing oil is essential for sebum management, I've been on the lookout! When I first received it, I was struck by how beautiful the packaging is - it looks gorgeous even in the bathroom. <3 And when I pump it out, the scent is so lovely, it's quite therapeutic. I absolutely adore it! I did my first cleanse, dried my face and hands, then massaged this oil onto my face for about 2 minutes. While steaming might enhance the effects, I found this method worked well on its own! For makeup removal, it does a great job of thoroughly cleansing my usual sunscreen and cream blush. What I love is that when I rinse it off with water, my skin doesn't feel tight at all - just soft and smooth.
ConsWhile I really enjoyed it, I was a bit surprised when I checked the ingredients on Hwahae! It can feel slightly tingly if you massage for too long, so I'd recommend not overdoing it.
TipImportant! If you're using this to dissolve sebum, remember to do your first cleanse and wash your hands beforehand. I didn't know and just applied it directly, which made my face itchy. I find using it about 3 times a week works best for me. Make sure your skin is clean before using it for peace of mind. Wishing everyone a great day and beautiful skin!

Although I rarely use waterproof products, it removes almost all color cosmetics. The texture is less sticky compared to other oils, so it seems to be less irritating to the skin. It's like a light oil? Water-mixed oil? A water-like texture...? You can visibly see the emulsion change as soon as lukewarm water touches it.
ConsEverything about it is really good, and even my mom tried it and was satisfied. However, this might only be happening to me due to my recently compromised skin barrier... Even after thoroughly completing my double cleanse, my skin feels itchy. And I've developed some blemishes... Aside from this issue, I absolutely loved the texture, scent, and cleansing effectiveness!

I've been using cleansing oils for sebum removal for a long time. In my experience, heavier oils usually remove sebum particles and dead skin cells better, so I used to prefer other brands. However, this iRecipe Yuzu Cleansing Oil, despite its light texture, is great at removing sebum. Some oils don't remove sebum particles well (which means you have to rub longer, stressing the skin), but with this one, you can feel the sebum particles on your fingertips soon after you start massaging. - It's also great at removing makeup! Even stubborn mascara comes off easily when gently massaged with fingertips. - No blemishes I've tried various cleansing oils, and some caused acne or only partially removed dead skin cells and sebum. This can leave skin looking dull, and when you apply makeup, it emphasizes dead skin and sebum. But this product didn't cause any blemishes and thoroughly removed sebum. After cleansing, when I touch my skin during skincare, it feels soft. - The scent is refreshing too Sometimes cleansing oils can smell like petroleum. This product has a slight yuzu scent, making it pleasant to use without any off-putting smell.
ConsWhen removing eye makeup, it can get into your eyes and cause a stinging sensation.
TipIf you want to remove sebum particles and blackheads, use more oil than usual (I pump 4-5 times) and massage for longer. It comes out well. Remember to massage gently, not forcefully.

Unless you're wearing stage makeup, it removes everything effectively. The texture is fluid, like water. It has a refreshing lemon scent. I think this product could work well for all skin types.
ConsEven after rinsing multiple times, I still felt some residue. So I followed up with a cleansing foam for a second cleanse. While it didn't cause any blemishes, I occasionally experienced slight itching around the edges of my cheeks and chin. Those with super sensitive skin should be cautious!

However, please note that some people might not like it. ❤ The cleansing effectiveness was quite good - it removed everything except for Pia products. I was satisfied with it. ❤ Usually, I don't notice because I use soap afterwards, but when I tried it on the back of my hand today, there was no residue. ❤ Even after some time had passed post-cleansing, my skin didn't feel tight. (I have combination dehydrated skin) ❤ I definitely felt an improvement in my blackheads.
Cons💔 I'm not sure if it's visible in the photo, but there was redness on my skin after use. Every time I used it, my skin felt tingly and itchy. 💔 It causes blemishes. As mentioned in the good points above, despite taking precautions against potential oil residue by using soap after cleansing, there were still reactions causing blemishes. 💔 I developed a lot of small bumps. My skin almost completely flared up, and I'm struggling to care for it now...
TipIf you have super sensitive skin like me, be cautious. You know how important it is to emulsify oils, right? Instead of applying the oil directly, wet your face first, then massage it in well, and make sure to rinse with lukewarm water. Cold water tends to leave a strange residue...

It glides on smoothly, effectively melting away makeup. When emulsified with a bit of water, it rinses off even better. I've been using it for about a week now, and I'm impressed with its cleansing effectiveness. After washing, it leaves a pleasant, balanced feeling on the skin that's perfect for this time of year!
ConsI'm not sure if it was just my skin acting up, but after using it once, my skin started to feel itchy and I developed some blemishes... My skin doesn't usually react this way, so I'm hesitant about continued use.

The emulsification is excellent, and there's no stinging sensation in the eyes. Hydration: With its oily film, there's no chance for dryness. Tightness: After a while, there's a slight tightness, but it's not severe. Some say the pump is inconvenient, but you just need to turn it firmly left or right until it clicks. It has a locking mechanism, which is actually great as it prevents accidental dispensing. The pump head is a bit low, but it dispenses just the right amount, so it's not really a problem.
ConsCleansing power: Separate makeup remover needed for mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick. Residual feeling: Quite slippery after rinsing. Skin texture: Unable to assess due to the oily slickness. Sebum removal & pore-reducing effects: Couldn't evaluate long-term effects due to skin reactions. Skin irritation occurred, with itchy red spots appearing. Not recommended for extremely oily skin types or those who dislike heavy oil feel. As expected from a cleansing oil, the oiliness is truly overwhelming. Putting one pump on my palm was shocking - like spilling cooking oil. On the face, it feels like an oil coating. It was a bit suffocating and hard to breathe. Due to skin reaction, I washed it off immediately. Even after rinsing, it remained slippery, so I had to cleanse twice.
TipHow to use: Pump the oil and massage it onto your face, then emulsify. To emulsify: On a dry face, pump oil → massage → add a small amount of water → when it turns white, you're done. - Thorough massage during emulsification is crucial. - Pay extra attention to areas with active sebum production.

The yuzu scent is pleasantly fragrant, lifting your mood. 2. It emulsifies incredibly well. 3. The water-based cleansing is so effective that you don't feel the need for a second cleanse. Overall, it feels great to use!
ConsI only changed the cleansing oil in my skincare routine, but: By day 4, I developed small blemishes. After a week, I experienced itching and had to stop using it. It could be a purging phase, but given the current season, managing blemishes became challenging, so I went back to my original products.
