How it works
The RTX Pre-Cleansing Oil Paste is a 100ml cleansing oil, used as the first of two evening cleanses, on dry skin and dry hands, before any water reaches the face. The exfoliant it is built around is Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, named sixteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Ascorbic Acid and Sucrose, so the exfoliant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Capryloyl Salicylic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cleansing oil format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cleansing oil Dr.G sells in Korea, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid and all.

Key actives
Capryloyl Salicylic Acidexfoliant
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is salicylic acid with a fatty tail, sometimes sold as LHA. It stays nearer the surface than salicylic acid and works at a higher pH, so it exfoliates more evenly and more gently. On this cleansing oil's own ingredient list it is named sixteenth.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it eighth on this cleansing oil's list, beside Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.
Ascorbic Acidantioxidant
Ascorbic Acid is pure vitamin C, the most researched form and also the least stable: it needs a low pH and airtight packaging to stay active. It is an antioxidant used for the look of dullness and uneven tone. It is named seventeenth on this cleansing oil's list, alongside Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.
Sucrosehumectant
Sucrose is table sugar, used here as a humectant. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and, in a scrub, doubles as the physical grain. It is named sixth on this cleansing oil's list, alongside Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.
Sodium Hyaluronatehumectant
Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it. It is named fourteenth on this cleansing oil's list, alongside Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.
Where does this cleansing oil go in my routine?
As the first of two evening cleanses, on dry skin and dry hands, before any water reaches the face. Nothing goes under it: this cleansing oil is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Capryloyl Salicylic Acid and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cleansing oil or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid and all. We match this cleansing oil to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Capryloyl Salicylic Acid?
Tocopherol, Ascorbic Acid and Sucrose. The order they are printed in on this cleansing oil's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Capryloyl Salicylic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Sodium Hyaluronate.

How to use

Worth knowing
- Patch test this cleansing oil on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Capryloyl Salicylic Acid on the list.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this cleansing oil an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

BHAs like salicylic acid get really deep into the pores, whereas the water-soluble ones don't go as deep.
