What the gurus are saying

A long-time number one at Olive Young in Korea, this dense oil clears heavy makeup and rinses off with minimal residue. Dry and mature skin tends to still feel moisturized afterward, though the thick texture can feel like too much for anyone new to cleansing oils. The ginseng scent is a small minus for some people, and the gurus describe a routine of two and a half pumps, massaged in with water until it emulsifies.

"I haven't used the Manyo Pure Cleansing Oil [...] for quite some time, but it still seems to be one of the most popular standard cleansing oils in Korea. [...] They are known for their 14-herb botanical oil blend. It has a bit more of a luxurious feel compared to the others and retails for about $20 for 200 mils."

"The number one cleanser here in Korea is definitely the Manyo cleansing oil, I use multiple bottles of it and it cleanses so well. The one downside is that compared to the Anua oil the texture is a bit heavier, so if you're new to cleansing oils it can feel too heavy, but if you wear heavy makeup and want something that really works, Manyo is the answer."

Korean Viral Cleansers: Watch Before You Buy l Oils, Foams & Milks

"Here in Korea this has been the number one cleansing oil at Olive Young seven years in a row. [...] If you're [...] dry mature skin like me and [...] your face feels too tight after cleansing with other oils, I recommend this one. It cleanses so well, and even though you finish cleansing it still feels moisturizing, it doesn't strip your oil that much. There's a little scent to it which is a small minus, but that's my only complaint."

"This has been the number one cleansing oil in Korea for so many years, and staying at [...] number one [...] that long has a reason. For dry, mature skin like mine, try this. The amazing thing about it is that after you wash your face you still feel very moisturizing, definitely more so than the other cleansing oils I compared it to. If you have really dry, strippy skin and feel [...] tight after cleansing, just stop double cleansing and try this instead."

"Korean cleansing oils overall are high quality, but [...] the great thing about this one is that after you cleanse, your skin doesn't feel dehydrated. It also has a lot of natural ingredients, so some people can react to [...] it, if you break out from it, it's just not for you. It's [...] a heavier oil, so if you want something lighter there are other options."

"I pump it two and a half times with dry hands, and if your face is a bit bigger you can use up to four pumps. Massage gently for a minute, then wet your hands and massage for another thirty seconds, and since eye makeup is strong I rub that area carefully, add more water, and massage for another thirty seconds, that emulsification process is very important. I rinse it off with water and it cleaned amazingly, no need for double cleansing."

"If you have dry skin like me you will love this. It's great to massage your face with and it's hypoallergenic. After you wash your face it's still so moisturizing, it erases makeup so well too, and the blackhead remover is amazing. It also has vitamin E inside so it's antioxidant too. If you have dry skin and you're really looking for a cleansing oil that works so well, this is definitely my favorite. If you don't mind the ginseng scent, this one's great too."

"This has been Olive Young's number one cleansing oil for three years in a row. It has the heaviest oil formulation of the three cleansing oils, it is the best at removing blackheads, and overall it is the best cleansing. I recommend it for dry skin or anybody who needs to remove heavy makeup, there's a reason it's been number one for that long, it contains fourteen plant based ingredients."

"I love the Manyo Factory Pure Cleansing Oil, [...] the yellow bottle, that was like one of the best sellers from all of Yamibuy. I really honestly, in general, I really look to Korean skincare when it comes to cleansing balms and cleansing oils. Like I said, I do find that most of them rinse off really nicely, don't even need a second step."

"Texture wise, it's not as runny. It's a little bit more dense than the Cos, but still it is great at cleansing and removing everything, but leaves minimal residue. The beauty of this is that not only does it have a luxe feel, it does a really good job at cleansing without leaving residue. It's also safe for acne prone skin. It's got like 14 plant derived oils along with argan kernel oil that helps to cleanse while replenishing your skin barrier."

"This is definitely popular for a reason, it is so good, so effective, yet leaves your skin super soft and supple but doesn't feel like there's any sort of residue behind. I think it's great for all skin types, even if you're oily or acne prone, oil dissolves oil, so if you worry about wanting to work a little bit more effectively at getting rid of your sebaceous filaments or clogged pores, this one can certainly be helpful."

"In contrast to a micellar water, a cleansing oil is amazing in my experience, my preference for removing eye makeup. This is a vegan formula, it is scented. You get the two 6.7 oz bottles and an 1.8 oz bonus travel size for $29.99. I have to say, when it comes to travel, travel size cleansing oils are very difficult to come by. More brands should offer travel size cleansing oils in a bottle and packaging that you can throw in a travel bag and not have it leak all over the place."

"This is like a massage oil, it feels so luxurious when you put it onto your skin. Everything starts to melt down immediately and it emulsifies really beautifully and it rinses beautifully. Another test for me is how it feels around my eyes, there is no stinging around the eyes, it did not make my eyes feel blurry. Of course that's very personal for a lot of people, but for me it was perfect. It really does a great job as a first cleanse."
