This oil's thick, luxurious texture sets it apart from thinner formulas because it feels like a massage oil, melts on skin immediately, and emulsifies beautifully, yet still removes everything without leaving residue. The formula's 14 plant-derived oils and argan kernel oil cleanse while replenishing the barrier, which reviewers found safe for acne-prone skin. Use as a first cleanse.

"The number one cleanser here in Korea is definitely the Manyo cleansing oil, I use multiple bottles of it and it cleanses so well. The one downside is that compared to the Anua oil the texture is a bit heavier, so if you're new to cleansing oils it can feel too heavy, but if you wear heavy makeup and want something that really works, Manyo is the answer."

"Here in Korea this has been the number one cleansing oil at Olive Young seven years in a row. If you're dry mature skin like me and your face feels too tight after cleansing with other oils, I recommend this one. It cleanses so well, and even though you finish cleansing it still feels moisturizing, it doesn't strip your oil that much. There's a little scent to it which is a small minus, but that's my only complaint."

"This has been the number one cleansing oil in Korea for so many years, and staying at number one that long has a reason. For dry, mature skin like mine, try this. The amazing thing about it is that after you wash your face you still feel very moisturizing, definitely more so than the other cleansing oils I compared it to. If you have really dry, strippy skin and feel tight after cleansing, just stop double cleansing and try this instead."

"If you haven't tried cleansing oil, it's worth it. Between all the different types of cleansers, cleansing oil is the most effective because it can cleanse inside the pores, melting everything down, since oil has to be dissolved with oil. Korean cleansing oils overall are high quality, but the great thing about this one is that after you cleanse, your skin doesn't feel dehydrated. It also has a lot of natural ingredients, so some people can react to it, if you break out from it, it's just not for you. It's a heavier oil, so if you want something lighter there are other options."
No.1 K-beauty products in Korea | Brutally Honest Long Term Review
"The number one cleanser is the Manyo Factory cleansing oil. I pump it two and a half times with dry hands, and if your face is a bit bigger you can use up to four pumps. Massage gently for a minute, then wet your hands and massage for another thirty seconds, and since eye makeup is strong I rub that area carefully, add more water, and massage for another thirty seconds, that emulsification process is very important. I rinse it off with water and it cleaned amazingly, no need for double cleansing."
Which is the best Viral TIKTOK Korean Cleansing Oils & Cleansers for you? (NOT sponsored)
"This is my new cleansing oil, the number one cleansing oil in Korea, and it's the only natural oil out of the four, the thickest one, it has fourteen plant oils inside so you can feel how thick it is. If you have dry skin like me you will love this. It's great to massage your face with and it's hypoallergenic. After you wash your face it's still so moisturizing, it erases makeup so well too, and the blackhead remover is amazing. It also has vitamin E inside so it's antioxidant too. If you have dry skin and you're really looking for a cleansing oil that works so well, this is definitely my favorite. If you don't mind the ginseng scent, this one's great too."

"This has been Olive Young's number one cleansing oil for three years in a row. It has the heaviest oil formulation of the three cleansing oils, it is the best at removing blackheads, and overall it is the best cleansing. I recommend it for dry skin or anybody who needs to remove heavy makeup, there's a reason it's been number one for that long, it contains fourteen plant based ingredients."

"I love the Manyo Factory Pure Cleansing Oil, [...] the yellow bottle, that was like one of the best sellers from all of Yamibuy. I really honestly, in general, I really look to Korean skincare when it comes to cleansing balms and cleansing oils. Like I said, I do find that most of them rinse off really nicely, don't even need a second step."

"Texture wise, it's not as runny. It's a little bit more dense than the Cos, but still it is great at cleansing and removing everything, but leaves minimal residue. The beauty of this is that not only does it have a luxe feel, it does a really good job at cleansing without leaving residue. It's also safe for acne prone skin. It's got like 14 plant derived oils along with argan kernel oil that helps to cleanse while replenishing your skin barrier."

"So the first step for me is double cleansing. [...] I find, at least for my skin, it's the most effective yet gentle way of removing my waterproof mascara, makeup, and just the layers of sunscreen that I apply [...] throughout the day. [...] The oil that I've been loving lately, it was definitely really popular in Korea during the summertime, I think it still is, I think 10 million units are sold worldwide, it's the Manyo Factory Pure Cleansing Oil. This is definitely popular for a reason, it is so good, so effective, yet leaves your skin super soft and supple but doesn't feel like there's any sort of residue behind. I think it's great for all skin types, even if you're oily or acne prone, oil dissolves oil, so if you worry about wanting to work a little bit more effectively at getting rid of your sebaceous filaments or clogged pores, this one can certainly be helpful. It's certainly not a treatment, but I don't think you need to worry about thinking oily, acne prone skin means cleansing oils are off limits for you. This one is a great one, especially if you want to double cleanse, or just even find an oil as your one stop shop at removing all the makeup at the end of the day, but it won't clog pores and won't irritate your skin. That is exactly why I love this product. It's got 14 plant derived oil ingredients that are really nourishing and help balance your skin pH from the cleansing, yet at the same time it's really effective at dissolving everything but leaves minimal residue behind."

"This is a cleansing oil from Manyo Factory. In contrast to a micellar water, a cleansing oil is amazing in my experience, my preference for removing eye makeup. This is a vegan formula, it is scented. You get the two 6.7 oz bottles and an 1.8 oz bonus travel size for $29.99. I have to say, when it comes to travel, travel size cleansing oils are very difficult to come by. More brands should offer travel size cleansing oils in a bottle and packaging that you can throw in a travel bag and not have it leak all over the place."

"This is actually a really good way to help unclog your pores. One of the other things I like about this is that it feels really nice and luxurious when you pump it into your hand, you can feel it's like a really nice thick kind of texture to it. Some cleansing oils are really thin, they don't feel very luxurious and they don't really melt down well on your skin when you apply them and start to massage them. This is like a massage oil, it feels so luxurious when you put it onto your skin. Everything starts to melt down immediately and it emulsifies really beautifully and it rinses beautifully. Another test for me is how it feels around my eyes, there is no stinging around the eyes, it did not make my eyes feel blurry. Of course that's very personal for a lot of people, but for me it was perfect. It really does a great job as a first cleanse."
