Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is an emollient ester. It comes from cetearyl alcohol and 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is an emollient that adds a velvety feel to skin without being greasy or oily. Emollients help trap moisture into your skin, keeping your skin soft and hydrated.
Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate is a surfactant and emulsifier.
This ingredient is a tetraester from oleic acid and polyethylene glycol ether of sorbitol.
As an emulsifier, it helps ingredients such as oil and water mix together. This allows the dirt and oils in your skin to be washed away.
One study found pumpkin oil containing Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate helped hydrate the skin and did not cause any irritation.

The primary contents of olive oil are glycerides of the fatty acids linoleic, oleic and palmitic.
Olive oil also contains antioxidants such as Vitamin E. Antioxidants may help reduce signs of aging by fighting unstable free-radical molecules. It also contains Vitamins A (retinol), D, and K.
The squalene in olive oil makes it a great emollient. Emollients help soothe and soften your skin by trapping moisture in. This makes olive oil a great skin moisturizer.
Studies show olive oil to have antibacterial and antifungal properties in low concentrations. Another study found olive oil irritated sensitive oily skin. We always recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient in your routine.

Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil 25 ingredients
Works great for my oily skin! Combined with a foaming gel cleanser, it makes my skin feel very soft and bouncy and ready for the rest of my evening routine. I was advised to leave it on and massage the enlarged pores areas for at least 3min but I put on videos and did it for 10 instead and noticed better results!
∘ such a smooth and soft texture
∘ makes the skin feel so supple
∘ is the perfect (night) oil cleanser

This has easily been one of my favorite oil cleansers I've tried. I have combination skin and it really helps balance out the oil and dryness on my face. It goes on so smooth and leaves my face so soft and shiny.
Back when I ran out and wasn't sure if it was making a difference, I just used my normal Nacific products for about a week and I noticed a HUGE difference. Oil zones started to come Show more
This is the only oil cleanser/makeup remover I've used that doesn't sting my eyes, or blur my vision when I'm removing my makeup. I've probably gone through 4 bottles of this already. The best!
