How it works
As a cleansing oil, this product is built to dissolve oil-based buildup like makeup, sunscreen, and sebum that a water-based cleanser alone struggles to lift. Its oil or micellar base binds to that buildup on contact rather than needing to be worked in with water first. Massaging it over dry skin gives the oils time to loosen debris from the surface and pores. Rinsing or wiping then carries that dissolved buildup away. Used as the first half of a double cleanse, it leaves a water-based cleanser with far less work left to do.
Key benefits
- ETUDE Korean-market cleansing oil, full size

Key actives
Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate
First on the list, this ester is the primary solvent oil in this cleansing oil, the ingredient that binds to sunscreen, sebum, and makeup on contact before water is introduced.
Squalane
Positioned mid list among the plant-derived oils, squalane adds a lightweight, non-greasy emollience to the cleansing oil so it rinses clean rather than leaving a heavy film.
Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
Camellia seed oil, one of several named plant oils toward the end of this formula, part of the multi-oil blend Korean cleansing oils are known for rather than a single mineral-oil base.
Prunus Mume Seed Extract
Japanese apricot seed extract, positioned among the final botanical ingredients, added to this cleansing oil's blend for its conditioning character on the skin left behind after rinsing.
When do I use Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture & Refill+?
Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture & Refill+ is the first step of a double cleanse, used on dry skin before a water-based cleanser. Work it into your routine at that point rather than swapping it in for a different step, since the timing is part of how a Korean routine sequences a cleansing oil.
How much Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture & Refill+ should I use?
A little goes further than it looks: most people use a coin-sized amount or a few pumps for the face, then adjust up or down once they see how their skin responds over the first week.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea?
Yes. This is the Korean-market ETUDE release, imported with its original Korean-language packaging, barcode, and batch code intact, rather than a version reformulated or repackaged for US retail. We check that batch code against the one on the box before it ships, instead of relying on the listing alone.
Can I use Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture & Refill+ if I have sensitive skin?
Patch test on the inner arm before the first full-face application, as with any new formula, and watch for redness or stinging over the following day before working it into daily use.
How long does one bottle of Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture & Refill+ last?
That depends on how much you apply each time and how often, but a typical full-size bottle used once or twice a day generally lasts one to two months for most people.

How to use
- Apply to dry skin and dry hands, or dry hands with a dry face.
- Massage the cleansing oil over the face in circular motions to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
- Add a small amount of water to emulsify it into a milky texture.
- Rinse thoroughly, then follow with a water-based cleanser, rather than skipping straight to the next product.
Worth knowing
- Keep away from the eyes when using on a dry face, and remove eye makeup separately with a gentler product if it stings.
- Rinse thoroughly if using as an oil cleanser, since leftover oil residue can feel heavy if not fully emulsified.
