Why Japanese Cleansing Oils Have Become a Global Skincare Phenomenon
Japanese skincare has revolutionised beauty routines worldwide, and at the centre of this revolution is the humble yet powerful cleansing oil. Unlike traditional cleansers, Japanese cleansing oils work on the principle that "like dissolves like" – using good oils to remove bad oils, makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.
The secret behind their effectiveness lies in their formulation: Japanese brands prioritise lightweight textures, non-comedogenic ingredients, and thorough cleansing power while maintaining skin hydration. Whether you're dealing with stubborn waterproof mascara or accumulated sebum from throughout the day, a quality Japanese cleansing oil dissolves it all while leaving your skin balanced.
Did You Know?
The double-cleansing method originated in Japan centuries ago when geishas needed an effective way to remove their heavy white makeup. Modern Japanese cleansing oils are the direct descendants of these traditional cleansing techniques!
The Science Behind Oil Cleansing
Cleansing oils work through a simple scientific principle: oil dissolves oil. When you massage cleansing oil onto your skin, it binds with the oils on your face – including sebum, sunscreen, and makeup – and lifts them away without disturbing your skin's natural pH or moisture barrier.
Most Japanese cleansing oils also contain emulsifiers that allow the oil to rinse clean with water, transforming from an oil to a milky emulsion upon contact with water. This ensures you get all the benefits of oil cleansing without any greasy residue.
This gentle yet effective cleansing method makes Japanese cleansing oils suitable for all skin types, from oily and acne-prone to dry and sensitive.
Finding the Best Cleansing Oil for Your Skin Type
Oily Skin
Best Cleansing Oils for Oily Skin
Contrary to popular belief, cleansing oils can be a game-changer for oily skin types. The right Japanese cleansing oil will effectively dissolve excess sebum without triggering additional oil production, leaving your skin clean and balanced.
What to Look For:
- Lightweight, non-comedogenic formulations
- Ingredients like rice bran oil or grape seed oil
- Products labelled as "purifying" or "balancing"
- Formulas that emulsify easily and rinse clean
Top Product Recommendation:

Users with oily skin report that consistent use of Japanese cleansing oils actually helps regulate sebum production over time, resulting in less shine throughout the day. The key is finding a formula that rinses clean and doesn't leave behind any residue.
Acne-Prone
Best Cleansing Oils for Acne-Prone Skin
If you struggle with acne, you might be hesitant to put oil on your face. However, the right Japanese cleansing oil can be transformative for acne-prone skin by thoroughly removing impurities that trigger breakouts while maintaining your skin's delicate moisture balance.
What to Look For:
- Anti-inflammatory ingredients like tea tree oil or liquorice extract
- Non-comedogenic formulations that won't clog pores
- Lightweight textures that rinse completely clean
- Products free from mineral oil and artificial fragrances

Important Note:
When using cleansing oil on acne-prone skin, always ensure your hands are clean before application to avoid introducing new bacteria to your skin. Follow with a gentle secondary cleanser for best results.
Sensitive
Best Cleansing Oils for Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin requires extra care, and Japanese cleansing oils are often formulated with this in mind. The best cleansing oils for sensitive skin contain minimal ingredients and avoid common irritants while still effectively cleansing.
What to Look For:
- Fragrance-free formulations

Dry Skin
Best Cleansing Oils for Dry Skin
Dry skin types benefit tremendously from Japanese cleansing oils, which cleanse thoroughly without depleting the skin's natural moisture. The best cleansing oils for dry skin contain nourishing ingredients that leave your skin feeling soft and supple after washing.
What to Look For:
- Rich formulations with moisturising oils like camellia or jojoba
- Added moisturising ingredients like squalane or vitamin E
- Products labelled as "hydrating" or "nourishing"
- Formulations that provide a moisture barrier after rinsing
Top Product Recommendation:
Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil
A luxurious cleansing oil containing 8 botanical oils specifically designed to nourish dry skin while providing thorough cleansing.
Key Benefits:
- Blend of 8 precious oils provides deep nourishment
- Removes makeup while conditioning the skin
- Leaves skin soft and supple, never tight
- Creates a moisture-preserving veil on skin
For extremely dry skin, consider leaving your cleansing oil on as a 5-minute mask before emulsifying and rinsing. This allows the nourishing oils to penetrate more deeply into the skin.
Blackheads
Best Cleansing Oils for Blackheads
Blackheads form when sebum and dead skin cells clog pores and oxidise. Japanese cleansing oils are particularly effective at dissolving these plugs, making them an excellent choice for those struggling with blackheads, especially on the nose and T-zone.
What to Look For:
- Formulas with salicylic acid or other BHAs
- Products labelled for "deep cleansing" or "pore refining"
- Lightweight textures that penetrate deeply into pores
- Non-comedogenic formulations
Top Product Recommendation:
Kosé Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil
An affordable yet effective cleansing oil that excels at dissolving blackheads and clearing congested pores.
Key Benefits:
- Specially formulated to target and dissolve blackheads
- Contains orange oil to help break down stubborn sebum plugs
- Rinses clean without leaving pore-clogging residue
- Can be used for spot treatment on problem areas
Pro Tip for Blackheads:
For stubborn blackheads, apply your cleansing oil and gently massage the affected area for 2-3 minutes. The prolonged contact and massage help break down the oxidised sebum plugs more effectively.
How to Properly Use Japanese Cleansing Oils
Step-by-Step Application Guide
- Start with dry hands and face
Apply cleansing oil to dry hands and a completely dry face. Water will prevent the oil from properly dissolving makeup and impurities. - Use the right amount
Dispense about 1-2 pumps or a quarter-sized amount of cleansing oil into your palm. - Warm the oil between your hands
Rub your hands together to warm the oil slightly before applying to your face. - Apply with a gentle massage
Spread the oil over your face and massage in circular motions for 1-2 minutes. Pay special attention to areas with makeup or sunscreen. - Emulsify with water
Wet your hands with lukewarm water and continue massaging your face. The oil will turn milky as it emulsifies. - Rinse thoroughly
Rinse your face with lukewarm water until all traces of the emulsified oil are removed. - Follow with a second cleanser (optional but recommended)
For a thorough double cleanse, follow with a gentle water-based cleanser.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Applying cleansing oil to a wet face
- Not massaging long enough to dissolve makeup and impurities
- Using too much product (which can be difficult to rinse off)
- Not emulsifying properly before rinsing
- Using water that's too hot (which can strip the skin)

FAQ: Your Cleansing Oil Questions Answered
Can I use cleansing oil if I have oily skin?
Yes, absolutely! Japanese cleansing oils are formulated to dissolve excess sebum without adding oiliness. In fact, many users with oily skin report that their sebum production becomes more balanced with regular use of the right cleansing oil.
Will cleansing oil cause breakouts?
Quality Japanese cleansing oils are formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog pores or cause breakouts. For acne-prone skin, look for lighter formulations specifically designed for your skin type.
Do I need to double cleanse every day?
Double cleansing is most important when you wear makeup, sunscreen, or have been exposed to significant environmental pollutants. If you don't wear these products, you might opt for just one cleanser in the morning.
How long should cleansing oil last once opened?
Most Japanese cleansing oils should be used within 6-12 months of opening. Check the product's PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually shown as a small jar icon with the number of months indicated.
Can cleansing oil remove waterproof makeup?
Yes! Japanese cleansing oils excel at removing even the most stubborn waterproof mascara and long-wear makeup. For heavy eye makeup, hold the oil-soaked cotton pad against your eyes for about 20 seconds before gently wiping away.
