It\u2019s not a secret that I am a BIG fan of double-cleansing – it\u2019s a skincare technique that I\u2019ve been using for years. I\u2019m definitely a creature of habit and I have a preferred product for this: Hada Labo Cleansing Oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a long-time reader, you know I\u2019m a big fan of this Japanese skincare brand – I\u2019ve reviewed the Hada Labo Premium Lotion<\/a>, among others, before, but I realised lately that I hadn\u2019t written about my go-to, affordable oil cleanser! It only makes sense that after writing about my favourite hyaluronic acid toner<\/a>, that my favourite oil cleanser from the same brand should follow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been using this Japanese oil cleanser for years, and I have the receipts to prove it – I first posted about this 287 weeks ago, according to Instagram!! Hada Labo Cleansing Oil is a product that I\u2019ve relied on, and it\u2019s quickly become that standard that I compare pretty much ALL other cleansing oils to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is Hada Labo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hada Labo (not to be mixed up with Hada Labo Tokyo) is a skincare brand owned by Rohto, a Japanese pharmaceutical giant. They\u2019re one of my favourites because they\u2019re so simple and no-frill. That doesn\u2019t mean their products aren\u2019t a delight to use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hada Labo emphasises the use of high-quality, straightforward ingredients to deliver exceptional hydration and nourishment to the skin. The brand philosophy is ‘perfect and simple,’ – something that I\u2019ve found is the best approach to my skincare. It\u2019s no wonder I enjoy pretty much everything I\u2019ve tried from this brand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason to try is that Hada Labo products are free from unnecessary additives, fragrances, and dyes – making them ideal for pretty much all skin types, including sensitive skin. They heavily lean on hyaluronic acid as the star ingredient for most products – it\u2019s something I appreciate as I genuinely think that a good skincare routine starts with well-hydrated skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hada Labo Gokujyun Oil Cleanser: An Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Close<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Like most oil cleansers, Hada Labo cleansing oil is designed to be massaged onto a dry face to break down any lingering makeup, sunscreen, and other oil-based build-up<\/strong> to rinse away and reveal a clean face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes in a 200ml pump bottle, and 200ml refill sachets can also be purchased to help reduce plastic waste. The texture is a thinner oil but isn\u2019t so thin and watery that it\u2019s hard to control. I find about 1-2 pumps perfect for nightly double cleansing. I massage it into my skin for about 1 minute before rinsing away with water – I recommend paying careful attention to your hairline and neck if you wear makeup to ensure that you get a thorough clean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the star ingredients in this formula include Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Hyaluronic Acid<\/a>. That’s why it’s so moisturising! The oils in this Japanese cleansing oil break down makeup while moisturising skin at the same time, so your skin never feels dry or tight after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Helpful<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The formula is also fragrance-free – I know that not everyone is a big fan of fragrance, so it\u2019s great to have plain, simple cleansing options that just work. Many Hada Labo Cleansing Oil reviews<\/a> make a note of the fragrance-free, pleasant formula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What impressed me the most about Hada Labo Gokujyun Cleansing Oil is that it\u2019s just SO good for removing waterproof mascara.<\/strong> I\u2019m a big fan of Japanese and Korean mascaras – the waterproof formulas hold a curl and don\u2019t smudge, but they can be really difficult to take off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not an issue that I have when I use this cleansing oil from Hada Labo! With a little gentle massaging, it removes every single speck of this intensely waterproof Japanese mascara<\/a>, without yanking any of my lashes out. Yay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another area where the Hada Labo Cleansing Oil wins for me is that it truly rinses away cleanly. Some oil cleansers can leave a film on my skin – this doesn\u2019t! Technically, I wouldn\u2019t really have to follow up with a regular cleanser if I didn\u2019t want to – that’s how easily it rinses away. However, as part of an efficient double cleansing routine, I’ll always follow hadalabo gokujun cleansing oil with a water-based cleanser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, this cleanser is a real winner for me! The ingredients list is simple and effective – it removes makeup incredibly well, leaving my skin ready for my skincare routine to follow. I also love that its an affordable cleansing oil – depending on where you are in the world, it\u2019s usually no more than USD 15 from international retailers, or here in New Zealand, anywhere between the NZD 28-30 mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Hada Labo Oil Cleanser Okay for Oily Skin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the thing – I have oily skin, and I really couldn\u2019t imagine not using an oil cleanser! The Hada Labo oil cleanser is definitely suitable for oily skin. If this is your skin type, you might also notice these perks of using a cleansing oil: smaller-looking pores and less greasy skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That because an oil cleanser helps to remove any lingering excess oils on the surface of our skin, temporarily clearing out pores and managing the skin’s natural oils. This is a product ideal for oily skin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oil Cleanser vs. Micellar Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Ok, but how does this stack up to a micellar water? While they both remove makeup, I generally prefer oil cleansers for double-cleansing at the end of the day. For removing long-wearing waterproof mascara, an oil cleanser totally wins! I also prefer the pore-minimising benefits<\/a> of using a product like the Hada Labo Oil Cleanser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hada Labo Gokujyun Cleansing Oil: Final Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is a skincare product that I\u2019ve used for years and years. I happily suggest it for all skin types if you are looking for a gentle oil cleanser to every night<\/a> to remove makeup and sunscreen. It doesn\u2019t cost an arm and a leg and while you can only get it online, there are a LOT of retailers now stocking these fantastic Japanese skincare products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
