SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil

A light, water-like Korean cleansing oil with centella and six plant oils, from SKIN1004's Madagascar Centella line. It melts away makeup, sunscreen and excess oil, then turns milky with a little water and rinses clean, so it's an easy first step for anyone new to double cleansing.

Quick Facts

What it's for

• Dissolving makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum without leaving skin feeling stripped or dry (SKIN1004's stated purpose)
• Helping keep pores clear: SKIN1004 describes the formula as non-comedogenic
• A comfortable first cleanse, with centella for soothing

Good for: normal, dry and combination skin, the types SKIN1004 lists. It contains plant essential oils (bergamot, geranium, rose), so if your skin is very sensitive or reacts to fragrance, patch test it first.

Questions

Does it remove sunscreen and heavy makeup?
Yes. SKIN1004 says it dissolves makeup and sunscreen, and its Olive Young listing says it removes even heavy makeup in one step. Massage a little longer over heavier makeup, then follow with your second cleanser.

Will a cleansing oil clog my pores?
SKIN1004 describes it as non-comedogenic. The key is emulsifying it with water and rinsing well, so no oil stays on the skin.

Do I need a second cleanser after it?
At night, yes, especially after makeup or sunscreen: the oil removes oil-based residue, and a water-based cleanser finishes the job. The Korean Double Cleanse Duo pairs it with SKIN1004's Ampoule Foam.

Can I use it with wet hands?
Start with dry hands and a dry face. Water too early makes the oil emulsify before it has dissolved your makeup.

How long does delivery take in Egypt?
Delivery takes 3–7 business days, depending on your area.
