Editor Rating	9/10 ★	8/10
Category	cleanser	cleanser
Texture	Lightweight, fast-flowing oil that feels more like water than traditional cleansing oils	Soft, cushiony foam
Finish	clean, zero residue	Clean without tightness
Skin Types	Oily Combination Acne-Prone Sensitive	Sensitive Acne-Prone Combination Dry
Targets	Pores Oiliness Acne	Redness Sensitivity Acne
Pros	+Ultra-lightweight texture unlike any other oil cleanser +Emulsifies and rinses perfectly clean +Non-comedogenic — genuinely suitable for acne-prone skin +Dissolves even stubborn waterproof sunscreen	+Gentle foam that doesn't strip the barrier +Centella Asiatica actively soothes during cleansing +Excellent value at the price point +Good for post-procedure skin
Cons	−Contains a light fragrance −The watery texture can feel like you need more product −Pump mechanism occasionally clogs	−Foam cleansers aren't for everyone −May not remove heavy sunscreen alone −Contains some fragrance −Basic packaging
Verdict	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.	A foam cleanser that actually respects your skin barrier. The CICA (Centella Asiatica) soothes while you cleanse, making it ideal for irritated or acne-prone skin. The foam is dense but gentle — no stripping, no tightness. At $12, it is the best budget-friendly gentle cleanser in K-beauty.
