The subtle yuzu scent creates a refreshing mood while cleansing, making the whole experience invigorating. 2. It gently dissolves even waterproof makeup and doesn't leave the skin feeling tight after cleansing, making it perfect for those with dry skin! 3. I could use it comfortably without irritation even on days when my skin was super sensitive. 4. It effectively removes excess oil, leaving me satisfied with how well it takes care of impurities and cleanses my skin.
Cons1. While it's a light oil that leaves a fresh finish, double cleansing is necessary. 2. The cleansing power is good, but for heavy eye makeup, you need to massage a bit more thoroughly, so you end up working the eye area quite often! 3. The yuzu scent isn't particularly strong, so if you're expecting a potent fragrance, you might be slightly disappointed.
Tip1. Gently massage for over 30 seconds on dry hands and face, and you'll see the oil and impurities dissolve completely! Take your time to massage around the eyes, nostrils, and jawline for a deep cleansing effect. 2. Finish by emulsifying with lukewarm water for that perfectly clean feeling! On tired days, this oil alone is enough - no need for cleansing wipes.

The subtle yuzu scent while cleansing was absolutely divine! I could feel the once hard and bumpy sebum becoming soft and smooth as I rolled this oil over my skin. It's a completely different experience from foaming cleansers, and the lightweight texture makes it perfect for oily or acne-prone skin without any burden. Plus, it's amazing at removing waterproof makeup! I tend to wear heavy eyeliner and mascara, but just two rounds of rolling with this cleanser dissolved everything, leaving my skin clean. Best of all, there's hardly any tightness after washing, and my skin feels so soft. Despite being an oil, it doesn't leave a squeaky clean finish, but rather a hydrated and silky smooth one, making the next steps of skincare a breeze.
ConsHmm... it's hard to call this a drawback, but the yuzu scent might be a bit polarizing. I absolutely adored it, but those with sensitive noses might want to take note. Personally, I found the citrusy scent refreshing, but it's something to consider if you're sensitive to fragrances!
Tip1. For best results, use on a dry face! Don't wet your hands or face - apply it to dry skin with makeup still on. This helps the oil dissolve sebum more effectively. (It might seem bothersome at first, but you'll notice a big difference once you try it!) 2. Spend a little extra time rolling on your nose and chin. I have more textured areas around my nose and under my chin, so I massage those spots for about 10 seconds longer, and it really helps smooth things out. 3. Emulsify gradually with small amounts of water! Slowly add water to your hands while emulsifying to rinse off cleanly without any residue. This step is crucial - if you rinse too quickly, you might be left with an oily film, so take your time!

One of the most crucial aspects I look for in a cleansing oil is how well it emulsifies, and this product does it so softly and effectively - I'm really impressed with that! In my opinion, it's slightly less oily, making it ideal for daily, light use. I usually use different products for heavy eye makeup days, but I tried this one and was surprised to find it removed everything cleanly without feeling heavy. I'm quite pleased with it. Personally, I love citrus scents like yuzu and lemon, but I sometimes worry about irritation. However, during my 14-day trial, I didn't experience any itching or stinging at all! It was a pleasant, fragrant cleansing experience. The travel-sized bottle that comes with the purchase is such a thoughtful touch. I also appreciate iRecipe's commitment to minimal, paper-based packaging - it always leaves me with a positive impression of the brand.
ConsInsufficient cleansing power when used with mascara and fixers.
TipTry rolling against the grain of your skin texture and take your time with the emulsification process for best results!

Removes lip, eye, and face makeup well! While it may take a bit more effort to remove intensely pigmented or waterproof products, it quickly and easily removes everyday makeup. Satisfying cleansing power! Contains yuzu extract and sunflower seed oil, which help prevent moisture loss and hydrate the skin. Skin doesn't feel overly tight after use, which is great. Gentle on the skin with a refreshing feel! The zesty yuzu scent, smooth application, and fresh finish make it a pleasure to use. As a non-comedogenic product, it doesn't contain pore-clogging ingredients, so I didn't experience any major blemishes. While I've had a few instances of developing cystic acne when using other cleansing oils due to residual oil, I didn't experience any such issues during my use of the Yuzu Bio Oil. If you pay attention to the oil emulsification process and follow up with a second cleanse, this cleansing oil should work well for most people. While it may not remove deep-seated blackheads, it does help remove some smaller whiteheads. (During emulsification, I noticed some whiteheads coming out when rolling it on my nose and chin, though it doesn't remove a large amount overall.)
ConsThe fragrance is quite strong! It's disappointing that fragrance is included in the ingredients. Concerns about ingredients: Contains three potentially allergenic ingredients including linalool and limonene. There's a possibility of allergic reactions on the face during use, so it's recommended to do a patch test before full application. While overall it's a satisfying product, when compared to other cleansing oils, it seems to lack that extra 2% that would make it a definite repurchase.
Tip★★Second cleanse is crucial! Make sure to emulsify thoroughly!★★

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.ProsInitially, I bought this cleansing oil out of curiosity because it contained yuzu fragrance, but it exceeded my expectations. The scent isn't artificial, but a subtle yuzu aroma that makes cleansing incredibly relaxing. It's almost like having a spa experience! The texture is neither too thin nor too heavy, striking a perfect balance. It glides smoothly on the skin and effectively removes makeup. It even dissolves mascara and lipstick without leaving any residue. When it comes in contact with water, it immediately emulsifies into a milky consistency. Post-cleansing, my skin feels moisturized without any tightness. Thanks to the ceramide content, my skin feels incredibly comfortable after washing. Even with my sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes and suited me well. While the 'fragrance' and 'texture' are great selling points, the real charm of this product lies in its skin-friendly ingredient composition. It's not just a case of 'contains ceramides~', but you can really feel that it's formulated to restore the skin barrier and cleanse without irritation. Ceramide NP, AP, EOP: This is the real key. Despite being a cleansing oil, it contains three types of complex ceramides crucial for strengthening the skin barrier. This means even those with sensitive or dry skin won't experience any tightness. After cleansing, your skin doesn't feel tight at all, rather it feels like it's been coated with a protective layer. Not only does it smell great, but yuzu is also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, giving the impression of brightening tired skin. It seems to add vitality to the skin without being irritating, and with consistent use, I feel like my complexion is gradually becoming more even. Plant-derived oil base (e.g., sunflower seed oil): Instead of harmful mineral oils, it's composed of non-comedogenic plant oils, reducing concerns about clogged pores and blackheads. Even those with oily or blemish-prone skin can use it without worry. Essence-like soft finish: Looking at the ingredients, you'd think it might be drying after cleansing, but it contains moisturizing oils, so even after emulsifying and rinsing, your skin doesn't feel slippery or dry. It really feels like an intermediate step between cleansing and skincare. Pros: - Subtle natural yuzu fragrance - Thoroughly cleanses without leaving makeup residue - Moisturizing and non-tightening after cleansing - Suitable for sensitive skin Overall: Highly recommended if you're looking for a moisturizing and gentle cleansing oil! Especially for those who love yuzu fragrance.
ConsThe only downside is the pump bottle. It occasionally feels a bit stiff when pressing. Other than that, I'm 100% willing to repurchase.
TipFor best cleansing effectiveness, use on dry hands and a dry face. Warm it slightly in your hands before applying to your face for a smoother cleansing experience. For areas with excess oil like around the nose or chin, focus on massaging for 10-15 seconds to effectively remove blackheads. Gradually add water to emulsify thoroughly for a residue-free rinse. It's not drying after cleansing, making it suitable for sensitive or dry skin. Those with oily skin might want to follow up with a foam cleanser for a second cleanse.

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.Pros■ Texture and Feel - I love how soft and fluid it is! The popular MNKJ cleansing oil I used before felt a bit thick and wasn't my style, but the iRecipe product is thin and gentle. It melts away makeup without irritation, which I'm really happy about. ■ Cleansing Effectiveness - It even removes mascara gently without irritation! Some cleansing oils I've used before made my vision blurry or irritated my eyes, but this one doesn't cloud my vision and seems gentle on the eyes. ■ Scent - It has a refreshing citron scent. While I usually prefer unscented products, this citron fragrance is fresh and natural-smelling, not artificial, which I actually like! Some cleansing oils have an overwhelming oily smell, but this fresh scent makes the experience feel even more refreshing. ■ Packaging Design and Convenience - The pump can be locked by turning it, making it convenient for travel. I've always lost those separate pump covers because they're a hassle to keep track of, so I'm satisfied with how travel-friendly this is. Plus, the packaging design itself is very citron-themed and pretty! ■ Ingredients - I looked it up, and the ingredients are gentle too! BPRE used to be my favorite, but this has a similar feel and an even better scent. I think it's going to make it onto my list of favorite cleansing oils!
ConsThere aren't any downsides. If you don't like scented products, you might not enjoy it, but the fresh scent is generally inoffensive.

I particularly enjoyed its natural fragrance without any artificial notes. The lightweight, fluid oil texture is so thin it can drip when dispensed, but it spreads smoothly and evenly when massaged onto the face. It effectively removes even waterproof makeup, leaving no residue behind. I'm satisfied with how thoroughly it cleanses, even taking off intense lip colors and eyeliners. My skin felt moisturized without any tightness after cleansing. Despite having sensitive skin, I experienced no irritation or blemishes. When mixed with water, it emulsifies gently and rinses off cleanly without leaving any residue, which I found especially appealing. The combination of the invigorating yuzu scent and the fresh feel is truly captivating. With its excellent cleansing power and ability to leave skin moisturized without irritation, I highly recommend this product, especially for spring and summer use.
ConsThe pump dispenser makes it slightly challenging to control the amount of product. Overall, I'm satisfied with the quantity and find it a great product to use.
TipThis product will be perfect for those who love fresh scents. The yuzu fragrance is truly delightful.

Scent: A refreshing yuzu fragrance! Absolutely delightful. It's not artificial and really lifts your mood. Cleansing Effectiveness: Since it's followed by foam cleansing after oil cleansing, makeup is thoroughly removed. Cleansing effectiveness is good! Skin Condition After Cleansing: No tightness at all, and perhaps due to the yuzu ingredient, there's a subtle freshness that remains after cleansing, which felt nice. Above all, as someone with oily skin prone to redness, I was most pleased that it didn't cause any blemishes or irritation. Overall Review: ★★★★★ (5/5) Highly recommended for those looking for a gentle yet effective cleansing oil! Especially recommended for sensitive or combination skin!! +The yuzu scent is amazing!!!
ConsThere were no downsides! That's why it's a highly recommended product!

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.Pros➡️ Skin type: Sensitive, Combination 1️⃣ Cleansing effectiveness It effectively removes even waterproof mascara in one go and does a great job of dissolving base makeup. 2️⃣ Texture Compared to my usual Laneige and Witch's Pouch oils, this has a lighter texture! It's just slightly more rich than the Ariul cleansing oil. Laneige, Witch's Pouch > iRecipe > Ariul 3️⃣ Advantages First off, it emulsifies easily! The lightweight texture makes the emulsification process quick, making cleansing more convenient and potentially less irritating as it reduces cleansing time. Moreover... it shattered my preconception that a light texture might not be as effective in removing sebum. It does an excellent job of clearing out pores while leaving the skin feeling not too dry afterwards, which was very satisfying. I didn't experience any significant blemishes either! As someone with combination skin, I think I'll reach for iRecipe a lot during summer! I'd recommend this to those with oily or combination-oily skin types.
ConsTo be completely honest, there weren't any real downsides... I would definitely repurchase.

It's perfect even when you've only applied sunscreen without full makeup! Despite its thin consistency, it effectively removes waterproof eyeliner, mascara, and lip tints. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, and oily skin, without causing any irritation.
ConsWhile it has good cleansing power for its texture and doesn't leave your skin feeling tight after washing, it's not specifically formulated to target whiteheads or blackheads.
TipThe key is to spend more time emulsifying than oil rolling, and rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear!
