I was hesitant to use cleansing oil due to concerns about breakouts, but the “acne-prone skin tested” label gave me confidence to try it. Despite being an oil, it doesn’t feel sticky—it glides smoothly on skin and effectively dissolves makeup and sebum without leaving any greasy residue afterward. After a few days of use, blackheads along my nose faded and my skin texture became smoother, likely thanks to the four-layer exfoliating ingredients (AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA). My face looked noticeably clearer and cleaner after cleansing, matching the claimed 99% fine dust removal effectiveness. The scent is mild and unirritating, the pump dispenser is convenient, and it works well for both men and women. One downside is that emulsification is slower when there’s excess water, so I dry my hands first, massage it on my face, then add lukewarm water for better results—and a second cleanse is needed after heavy makeup. This is a refreshing cleansing oil that oily and acne-prone skin can use without concern, and since it doesn’t leave skin dry or uncomfortable even with daily use while effectively managing exfoliation and blackheads, it’s worth using consistently and repurchasing.

I’ve used this brand before without any issues, so I picked up the Acnes 4HA Deep Cleansing Oil again without hesitation. The lightweight formula and 4HA ingredient for pore and exfoliation care really appealed to me. Despite being an oil, it spreads smoothly without feeling heavy and emulsifies cleanly without any greasy residue—I loved how fresh it felt after cleansing. It works well on my trouble-prone skin without irritation. In my testing, it removes waterproof mascara quite effectively after a few rolls and emulsification, though heavy-duty tints aren’t completely removed in one go; daily makeup comes off easily though. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight cleanser with real cleansing power, especially since it leaves no oily residue and works gently on sensitive skin like mine—I’ll keep using it as my daily cleanser.

This cleansing oil feels light and refreshing on oily and acne-prone skin—way less heavy than regular oil cleansers, and it actually cleans makeup and sunscreen well despite the lighter texture. It has exfoliating ingredients like AHA, PHA, and LHA that help improve skin texture, and I’ve noticed my skin feels softer and my T-zone looks clearer since switching from water cleansers. The best part is it doesn’t irritate my acne-prone skin or sting my eyes, and it doesn’t leave that heavy, sticky residue oil products usually do. The only downside is it might not be strong enough for waterproof mascara on its own, so I use a separate eye makeup remover first, and I’m not entirely sure if the emulsification process is working properly since it’s hard to tell.
