Remember last year I did a review on The FaceShop Rice Cleansing Water and it was great. If you have not seen it yet, CLICK HERE. I love it a lot but I decided to give the Cleansing Oil a try. I've heard great stuffs on Biore's cleansing product and it's been out in the market for a few years now. I, personally am not a fan of cleansing oil as I'm afraid that it would clog my pores leading to more pimples. However, I'll be giving it a try and lets see how effective it is on removing makeups.
Biore Cleansing Oil For all Skin Type.
It is a gentle cleansing oil that washes away long lasting makeup and even waterproof mascara.
It claims that the cleansing oil has the ability to remove any stubborn makeup pretty quick and easy and even mascara. It can be used on dry or wet skin depending on your preferences. It has listed a few points such as:
- No greasy or sticky feeling on skin after use
- Does not clog pores
- Gentle and mild on skin
- Refreshing Fragrance.
PACKAGING
As you can see, it comes in a purple/pinkish bottle with a pump. If you're a regular reader of my blog you would know that I'm super picky when it comes to the packaging of the product and I prefer products that comes in a tube or with pump due to hygiene purposes. You do not need to come in contact with the content so it does not contaminate it. It also has a plastic cover over it making it easy for travelling. It locks the pump preventing it from getting squeezed during travels.
Let's put those claims into test and see how effective the cleansing oil is.
So I slap on super heavy makeup onto the back of my hands for this review like what I did on the FaceShop Cleansing Rice Water. I usually do not have such heavy makeup except for dinner events but maybe most of you all out there does.
What I have on the back of my hands:
1. BB Cream/Foundation HERE for review
2. Blusher
3. Concealer
4. Eyeliner HERE for review.
5. Mascara
6. Eye shadow
DIRECTIONS
For this cleansing oil, you do not need to apply it onto a cotton. Apply 2 to 3 pumps of cleansing oil straight onto your hands and rub it onto your face in circular motion massaging and melting the makeups at the same time.
After rubbing it in a circular motion it melts off most of the makeup. It dissolves everything into a huge blob of makeup.
So for this cleansing oil you have 2 ways of removing it depending on whichever you prefer. Firstly removing it with baby wipes and secondly with water.
First was is with Baby Wipes.
Wash your wipes before wiping off the makeup as you wouldn't want to transfer any of the component from the wipes onto your skin.
With the baby wipes, one swipe and everything was stuck onto the wipes. It did a super job well done on removing the heavy makeup. As you can see, it was super clean. As compared to the FaceShop Cleansing Rice Water, the Biore Cleansing Oil removed everything in one swipe while the Cleansing Water takes two wipes.
Second way is to removed with luke warm water.
As what was stated, massage the cleansing oil in circular motion for a few minutes dissolving everything before washing it off.
Slowly add drops of water onto your skin and rub it in circular motion. When the cleansing oil comes in contact with water it turns into a milky solution and you no longer feel the cleansing oil on your skin.
After everything gets dissolved, wash it away with luke warm water. You will see that it gets removed instantly. Super magical!
Everything gets removed instantly! No extra makeup residue gets left behind. It did a better job than the cleansing water I tried previously.
AFTER EFFECT
Baby Wipes
- It wipes off right away without leaving any mess around your cleansing area.
- Gets the job in removing make up easy with just one piece of wipes.
- However, it leaves a sticky feeling on my skin.
Luke warm water
- It turns the cleansing oil into a milky white substance.
- It will be a little messier than using the wipes due to makeup residue splattering all over the sink.
- It cleans off easily too.
- However, cleansing with water leaves no sticky after effect on your skin. It leaves our skin super smooth.
CHECK LIST
No greasy or sticky feeling on skin after use
As stated above, only when you use wipes to remove the makeup then it leaves a sticky feeling. If you removed it with water, it leaves a super smooth after effect on your skin.
Does not clog pores
So far I've been using it for a week and I don't feel my pores clogging. My skin still appears to be as usual.
Gentle and mild on skin
It is super gentle when I am doing cleansing on my skin. It does not feel sticky and icky or heavy when massaging.
Refreshing Fragrance
It smells fantastic. It has a fruity apple scent to it, not too strong and not too mild, just right,
WARNING
As stated on the product, in case your skin tend to itches while using this product, stop using and wash it off immediately. Do not come in contact with your eyes. Some may not feel the sting in their eyes but some may not. It is most recommendable not to use it around your eyes.
PROS
- It smells refreshing unlike other types of cleansing oil
- It removes heavy makeups thoroughly.
- It is cheap for 150 ml. Affordable for those who are looking out for cheap but good quality make up remover.
- Leaves skin feeling smooth.
- It comes in a pump which is good for hygienic reasons.
CONS
- Although it does a good job in removing eyeliner and mascara, it does sting when it goes into your eyes. Use at your own risk.
- Not suitable for everyone as some may experience oil seeds around your skin due to the oil clogging pores.
RATINGS
Price - RM27 for 150 ml available at Watson 9/10

Overall - 9/10
I love this product! It does the job pretty well without leaving my face filled with stickiness however I wish it is available in a bigger bottle.
Will you purchase it again after you finish the current one?
Yes, I will definitely purchase another one once I finish using this. I will try their wipes and water too to compare which one does a better job in removing makeups.
