How it works
A cleansing oil is the first half of a double cleanse and it works on dry skin, which is the part people get wrong. Massaged over dry skin it loosens makeup, sunscreen and the day's oil, then turns milky when water is added and rinses away with all of it. A cleanser is judged by what it leaves behind rather than by how much it takes off, and comfort a minute after rinsing is the measure. That is the difference from a foaming cleanser, which handles sweat and grime but leaves oil based makeup mostly where it was. The result you can judge yourself is how your skin feels in the minute after you pat it dry.
Key benefits
- On this formula's own list, 1,2-Hexanediol shows up near the top. It is a multifunctional glycol that carries moisture and helps preserve the formula.
- This one's ingredient list carries Salicylic Acid in the first half, a BHA that works inside the pore to clear out oil and dead surface cells.
- Panthenol sits in the first half on this product's own ingredient list, a barrier-supporting provitamin that eases surface roughness.
Key actives
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Jojoba Seed Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, which is why it feels dry to the touch and suits skin that dislikes heavier plant oils.
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is an oil soluble salicylic derivative used in cleansing steps for a smoother feeling surface without the sting of a strong acid toner.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is the oil soluble acid used for the look of congested pores and a smoother feeling surface, and it is the reason a formula like this suits oily skin.
Panthenol
Panthenol is provitamin B5, used for comfort and softness on skin that feels tight, and it is one of the ingredients reactive skin tends to get along with.
Glycerin
Glycerin is the workhorse humectant of skincare: it draws water into the top of the surface and keeps a formula from feeling tight as it settles.
What is Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml?
It is a first step cleansing oil from Frankly, made for anyone who wants makeup and the day off without the squeaky tight feeling afterwards. It goes first in the evening, on a dry face, before your foaming cleanser. The result you can judge yourself is how your skin feels in the minute after you pat it dry.
Where does Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml go in my routine?
It goes first in the evening, on a dry face, before your foaming cleanser. In practice: On a dry face, massage a few pumps over the skin for a minute, add water until it turns milky, then rinse and follow with a foam. Applying it out of that order is the usual reason a step seems to do nothing.
Is Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml right for my skin type?
It is aimed at anyone who wants makeup and the day off without the squeaky tight feeling afterwards. The skin types we would put first are all skin types, sensitive skin and dry skin. A cleanser is the step most worth getting right, because everything you apply afterwards lands on whatever it left behind.
Does a cleansing oil leave a greasy film?
Only when the emulsifying step is cut short. The oil is designed to turn milky when you add water, and that milky stage is what carries it off the face. Add water gradually, keep massaging until the texture changes, then rinse properly and follow with a foam. Done that way the skin is left clean rather than coated.
Is this Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. We stock the Frankly Korean-market formula rather than a version reformulated for US shelves. The bottle you open is the 200ml one sold on Korean shelves, with Korean-primary packaging and an intact barcode you can check yourself.

How to use
- Start with a dry face and dry hands, since water on the surface stops an oil taking hold of makeup.
- Massage a few pumps over the face for about a minute, spending longest on the eyes, nose and jaw.
- Do not skip the foaming cleanse afterwards, and never rinse before the oil has been emulsified or a film will be left behind.
Worth knowing
- Keep it out of the eyes and rinse with plenty of water if any gets in.
- Patch test on a small area first if your skin reacts easily to new products.
