How it works
The Super Melting Sebum Cleansing Oil is a 200ml cleansing oil, used as the first of two evening cleanses, on dry skin and dry hands, before any water reaches the face. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopherol, named twelfth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract and Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tocopherol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cleansing oil format rather than by the list alone. ilso sells this Tocopherol cleansing oil in Korea, and this is that version.

Key actives
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. On this cleansing oil's own ingredient list it is named twelfth.
Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extractplant extract
Melia Azadirachta is neem. Its leaf and flower extracts are long-standing Ayurvedic ingredients, and Korean formulas use them in products aimed at the look of congested, blemish-prone skin. It is named thirteenth on this cleansing oil's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Coccinia Indica Fruit Extractplant extract
Coccinia Indica is ivy gourd. Its fruit extract is used as a conditioning, hydrating plant extract in Korean formulas. The panel names it sixteenth on this cleansing oil's list, beside Tocopherol.
Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extractplant extract
Eggplant Fruit Extract carries nasunin, the antioxidant pigment in aubergine skin. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract. It is named seventeenth on this cleansing oil's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extractplant extract
Aloe Flower Extract comes from the flower rather than the leaf gel. It is used as a conditioning plant extract. The panel names it eighteenth on this cleansing oil's list, beside Tocopherol.
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 Tocopherol and not three changes at once.
Does this cleansing oil contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance and Parfum. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this cleansing oil is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Tocopherol?
Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract and Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract. The order they are printed in on this cleansing oil's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopherol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract and Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract.
