Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

Dear, Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil 6 ingredients
Very few ingredients, non comedogenic, and easy to emulsify. I love this one! Has oils that are great for oily acne prone skin.
Weird film
This cleanser was hard to wash off with water! It also left a weird film on my skin after rinsing.
It removed most makeup but took some rubbing for waterproof stuff like eyeliner

The best make up remover I've ever tried.
Wonderful product that doesn't iritate my sensitive skin and eyes.
It is my favourite makeup cleanser and leaves my skin feeling bright
