Review: Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil

おさしぶり

In my recent SaSa haul I mentioned this product bought from the site www.sasa.com. If you want a direct link to the product please click THIS. By no means am I sponsored to do this post... I wish T.T thus anything I do say is my own opinion.


Now time to get down and clean with this product.

"Kose softymo Deep Cleansing Oil blends orange oil and Oryza Sativa (rice) bran oil to dissolve makeup and remove impurities in pores. Cuticle-clear ingredient helps remove dead cuticles, leaving skin purified and refreshed"


Price: I bought this on sale for $11.30 however SaSa usually sells it for $13.30. Either price is reasonable as the size and quality more than compensates for the price.

Size: 230ML. The product has a generous amount of liquid. I'm sure this will last me more than a year.

Formula: As it is an oil remover it does feel exactly like that on your face. Personally not the most pleasant texture to remove makeup with. But the oily feeling is only temporary. Don't forget to rinse your face afterwards!

Effect: This is the BEST makeup remover I have used up until now. In comparison to some of the others like Cyber Colors Eye makeup remover, Garnier makeup remover sheets, Johnsons and Johnsons makeup remover sheet and a few others.

I always like to apply my makeup literally between my eyelashes. Not above or below the eyelashes. But where my eyelashes are. I know this is probably very bad for my eyes but the effect is very natural. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices. For a long time I've had a lot of difficulty removing the makeup between my eyelashes especially my water proof makeup. But with Kose deep cleansing oil it's only taken a pump and POOF everything is gone. None of that hard rubbing and endless product usage. All I do is take a pump on my palms rub on my face and remove excess with make-up removal puff.

Packaging: Pump nozzle. Supper convenient to moderate the amount you need and very hygienic.

Suitability: For all skin types. I have combination skin which is always hard to deal with. Especially when you have one part of your skin demanding more hydration and another part producing extra oil. My Skin does not break out from this nor does it get dry.

How to apply: 
Full face make up at the end of the night.

Step 1. Apply to dry face and fingers and massage gently over the face.
(Here half face is removed)
Step 2. After it is emulsified, rinse of thoroughly.
Final result, not a speck of makeup!
Overall: Would definitely buy again. I'm always one for trying new products but when I do find something I like that does the job perfectly I tend to stick to it.


Story time!


I've used this remover for about a month before I wrote this review and every night I'd go to sleep with this thick layer of oil on my face and wake up with it still there. Sure the makeup was removed but my face felt like I was swimming in thick gooey oil. At this point I was really indecisive with the quality of the product. Even if it does remove all my makeup I'm not that keen on a product which takes me back to puberty and beyond every night. Flash forward to me writing this review and I go to the sasa page info for the product description and underneath the how to apply guide it says 'After it is emulsified, rinse of thoroughly'... I'm gobsmacked. This whole time I've just left the oil residual on D:  Let this all be a lesson to read instructions carefully before applying anything to your face!

Signing of with a picture of how my makeup looked before it got all oily later on in the night. 

Take care my readers and stay happy ♥ ❤ ❥ ❣

    1. yeah I did. I was hating on this product so much after it removed all my makeup cause I felt so disgusting with all this oil on my face. Was actually planning to give a bad review till I finally read the instructions :D and defss should try this. Loving the product so much more now that I can sleep without my pillow sheets and my face getting drenched in oil.

  2. Looks like it works really well~ :'D
    I don't wear much make up, so I just stick with make-up wipes (because I'm lazy T^T ), but if I ever do need a make-up remover, I think I'll check this out~

    And I did the SAME THING with my eye make-up remover from Lancome! xD

  3. you are supposed to use a face wash after cleansing oil because most of them removes makeup but leave a oily residue feeling and there might be things still clogged in your pores then it's the face wash's turn to take out the rest.
