Cons	−0.5% BHA in a wash-off product has limited contact time −not a substitute for a leave-on BHA treatment −the blue clay can leave a faint residue if not rinsed thoroughly −may be too drying for already-dry skin types	−Contains a light fragrance −The watery texture can feel like you need more product −Pump mechanism occasionally clogs
Verdict	A gentle BHA cleanser with blue clay that tackles pore congestion during the cleanse itself — without the stripped, tight feeling that most 'pore' cleansers leave behind. 0.5% salicylic acid is the sweet spot: enough to dissolve sebum plugs, not enough to compromise the barrier with twice-daily use. Kaolin and illite clays add physical oil absorption without micro-tearing, and centella keeps things calm. The foam is dense but rinses clean. If your morning cleanser is a generic foam and your evening is a double-cleanse, this slots perfectly into the AM role for oily, breakout-prone skin.	This is the cleansing oil that converts cleansing-oil skeptics. Unlike thick, heavy oil cleansers that leave a film, Ma:nyo's Pure Cleansing Oil has the viscosity of water — it flows onto skin, dissolves makeup and sunscreen on contact, and emulsifies so completely that it rinses to nothing. The squalane base is non-comedogenic, making it one of the few oil cleansers genuinely suitable for acne-prone skin. It became a viral hit on Korean beauty YouTube for good reason. The light fragrance is the only mark against an otherwise excellent formula.
