Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil-230ml (japan import) [Badartikel]

I admit i just recently got into into oil cleansers and this is only the second one I’ve tried, but I love it! The smell is ever so slightly citrusy with an oily leaning, it’s better than I make it sound but it’s subtle enough that it shouldn’t really be a deciding factor in buying it. I have combination oily and dry skin, and find that my cheeks and chin especially can easily dry out from using face washes. Even dove soap can dry me out quite a bit. It sorts itself out if I don’t moisturise after an hour or so in the worst case scenario but if you gave dry skin I’m sure you’re aware of that tightening feeling you get after using a drying product. I’ve used this product 3 times now. I massage it in for about 60 seconds on dry skin then wet my hands and massage the oil into a milky texture, also for about 60 seconds, then I simply rinse it off with water and pat dry. I have not experienced tightening of my skin once. I feel a slight sensation of dryness particularly on my chin, but it is so mild that it pretty much goes away in minutes. My skin feels soft after use but doesn’t, at least to my eyes, make me look greasy, which I admit was a slight concern. It cleanses well, has no unpleasant smells or effects on the skin and makes skin feel soft and supple. Would highly recommend.

First of all the packaging: comes in a nice pump bottle which is convenient and clean. Most of the oil cleansers in this price range in the drug store comes in a pour bottle which quickly becomes a slippery mess and leaves residue on surfaces. The pump puts out the perfect amount for your face and neck. So no wasted product. The scent: its subtle and pleasant, reminds me of olive oil even though that's not in the ingredients. Value for money: amazing, drug store own brands are usually twice the price per 100ml for a lower quality product in less convenient packaging. The oil cleanser itself: its ever so slightly thicker in viscosity than other oil cleansers I've tried and I find it to be quite beneficial. It spreads on the skin easier, feels less slimy when rubbing it in, and doesn't migrate into my eyes if I leave in on my skin for a few minutes to really loosen up clogged pores. As for washing it off, it turns into a milky substance when rubbed with water, much easier and with no residue compared to other affordable oil cleansers. The texture of it on my skin and residue left behind is quite important to me as I'm autistic with touch sensitivities, so something slight can put me off a product even if it does wonders for my skin. I wouldn't recommend using just this product on its own, but paired with another type of cleanser as part of a double cleansing routine to really get the full cleansing effect as is standard in Japanese/korean skincare. To note I also use this product with an electric face brush with a silicone head, as I would usually with my face wash, so that would boost its effects somewhat. I may update the review in a few weeks on how it's improved my acne and clogged pores, but in just 2 days I'm seeing improvement even though the same day I started with this I also added a heavier day and night cream to my routine, so it's very promising.

This cleansing oil melts away makeup effortlessly without irritating the skin. It has a lightweight texture; no specific smell and rinses off easily without leaving a greasy residue. Leaves the skin feeling soft and clean. Good to use daily but I prefer the pink version.

First time switching to this after years using DHC cleansing oil and I love it. It’s less than half the price, smells nicer and does an identical job. I’ll definitely be buying again!

I absolutely love this stuff. I'd go as far as to say it's a rival for the DHC deep cleansing oil (which is twice the price). This just melts off waterproof mascara and lifts all the makeup while still being gentle to the skin. Mine is very sensitive so that was important to me. I like to use it twice to initially remove my makeup and then add a little water to emulsify it for a 2nd cleanse. It smells lovely, works like a dream and lasts ages as you only need one pump of the stuff at a time. It's definitely become my favourite oil cleanser.

Excellent, within 2 uses my skin is significantly smoother, with dry patches less dry and oily patches less oily. After first use few spots came to surface but after this skin was glowing. I used as part of new 2 step cleansing. A little goes a long way, rub into dry skin for at least 1 minute, remove with soft damp cloth then wash face with foaming cleanser. I am amazed at results. Tried many many products over years to clear pores on nose with limited success, they gone!!!

Good product generally but pink one worked better for my oily skin. Does the job.

I double (sometimes even triple) cleanse but this oil is soo rich that it clogged my pores and gave me the worst breakout I’ve had in years. I knew it was this product because I did not add any new products to my skincare routine or change my diet/environment. I even got a pimple right under my eye (where I mostly use the cleansing oil to get rid of waterproof mascara) which has never happened to me before.

Recharge pour le flacon pompe. Rien a dire parfait pour le double nettoyage le soir vraiment top. Démaquille très bien meme le waterproof sans avoir besoin d'en mettre beaucoup. Pour ma part non comedogene vraiment parfait

Le ha gustado mucho, había probado el rosa pero este no y la verdad es q limpia muy bien la cara y me deja buena sensación. Olor agradable

Cleans well (liquid foundation and waterproof mascara), and I'm happy with the product.

肌荒れが酷かったので 試しにと思って買ってみました! 夜に使って朝起きて鏡を見たら 角質も取れて 肌もしっとりもちもちして 敏感肌のワタシには合ってたみたいです。 今は、クレンジングオイルの後に化粧水→スキンローションのルーティーンでお手入れしてます。 普段のお手入れにひと工夫したい！って方には良いのではないかと思います。
