What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this cleanser for its effectiveness at removing makeup and sunscreen, lightweight texture, affordability, and gentle formula. The scent divides opinion: some find the natural herbal tea aroma pleasant and grounding, while others note it may not appeal to everyone. A consistent point is that it's thinner than typical oil cleansers, so multiple pumps are needed. Dermatologists flag it as best suited for normal to dry skin due to its soybean oil base and recommend caution for oily or acne-prone skin.

"I've been really liking the oil cleanser from Beauty of Joseon. Right now lately it has been my favorite cleanser. It's the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil for waterproof makeup removal. It has a really tea-like smell in it, which actually smells like tea, which is kind of nice. But if you don't like the way tea smells, you might not like it."

"The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil is a very nice cleansing oil, super light feeling and no scent to it which is nice. It's got some nice ginseng and does a pretty good job removing makeup and sunscreen. It's a little lighter than the typical oil cleanser since a lot of them can be kind of thick, but this one was very thin so it took several pumps to get the job done, but it did a good job. It's super affordable which is also wonderful."

Winter Evening Skincare Routine for Very Dry, Sensitive Skin - Fragrance Free Products!

"I'm going to start with the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil as a first step, and then I'm using the Dr. Sam's Flawless Cleanser as a second step. This will help get my mascara off. It's a tubing mascara so it's kind of stubborn."

"For the first cleanse I'm going to go with the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil. Both these are great, they're gentle, they're fragrance free, and very efficient and effective. I say about two and a half pumps of this is good for me."

"If you want a cleanser that rinses off sunscreen, makeup, oil and things like that, the Beauty of Joseon ginseng cleansing oil is great and it's also super affordable. I massage this onto dry skin at the end of your day, give it 60 seconds, rinse it off, and your sunscreen's gone. Or you can follow up with another cleanser to do a second cleanse. Both of these bottles will last you a long, long time if you're using them normally."

"It's got glycine, which is soy oil, which is three out of five on the comedogenic scale, so this is good for normal to dry skin, but I would avoid this for oily, acne-prone skin. I like that it's got ginseng in it, it's an antioxidant which helps to mop up free radicals that can damage collagen. So if you have normal to dry skin, love the product, worth purchasing."

"It has ginseng oil and ginseng root extract, and it also has sunflower seed oil, olive oil, and Moringa seed oil. Those oils have anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants. I've really enjoyed this one. I'm almost finished with the bottle that I currently have, and I got another one because it's really a good one."

"The ginseng cleanser has a base of soybean oil which is a lot lighter but also a stellar cleansing oil. This still has a very lush and comforting texture as you're applying it as opposed to a very thin one. What draws me to this formula is really the medicinal scent. I just love that first whiff as I'm applying it. It's very herbal and refreshing in that it wakes everything up. It's a very sagacious and very grounding scent. I definitely detect the nigella and svia as well and those are stimulating the senses but relaxing at the same time. This all comes naturally from the ingredients. The brand doesn't add additional fragrances or essential oils for the sake of scent."
