How it works
This is a cleansing oil built to emulsify into a milky, rinse-clean texture on contact with water, rather than leaving the oily film a poorly emulsifying oil cleanser can. Squalane carries the base alongside olive, sunflower, jojoba, camellia and macadamia oils, and Resveratrol and Adenosine Triphosphate sit in the supporting formula for skin that is being cleansed as much as protected during the process. It is meant to be rinsed thoroughly with lukewarm water rather than hot, since hot water alone can undercut what a gentler surfactant base is built to avoid. This particular listing is the 120ml size TIRTIR sells for the line, packaged and formulated for the Korean market rather than a separate US release.
Key benefits
- Emulsifies to a milky, rinse-clean texture with water
- Squalane and a five-oil plant blend as the base
- Resveratrol and Adenosine Triphosphate in the supporting formula
- The first, oil-based step of a double cleanse
- Sold as TIRTIR's authentic Korean-market formula, the same version sold through Korean retail rather than a US-reformulated substitute
Key actives
AdenosineSkin-soothing nucleoside
A naturally occurring skin nucleoside included in most modern Korean formulas for its soothing, texture-supporting role, almost always used at a low, well-tolerated concentration.
SqualaneLightweight emollient
A plant-derived emollient that mimics the skin's own natural oils, chosen across Korean formulas for a lightweight, fast-absorbing feel rather than a heavy, greasy one.
ResveratrolAntioxidant polyphenol
A plant-derived antioxidant polyphenol, commonly sourced from grape or berry extracts, included in Korean serums and oils as part of the antioxidant side of a formula.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf ExtractAntioxidant botanical extract
A green tea leaf extract valued in Korean skincare for its antioxidant polyphenol content, a common supporting ingredient across toners, serums and cleansers alike.
Nicotinamide MononucleotideNAD-precursor
A precursor to NAD+, a trending inclusion in newer Korean serums positioned around cellular energy support rather than a single, older-generation active.
Will this leave an oily film after rinsing?
It is built specifically to emulsify into a milky texture once water is added, which is what lets it rinse away cleanly rather than leaving the residue a poorly emulsifying oil cleanser can.
Do I apply this to wet or dry skin?
Dry skin and dry hands first, so the oil can properly dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then add water to emulsify it before rinsing. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.
Do I need a second cleanser after this?
For a full double cleanse, yes. This oil is the first step to lift makeup and sebum; a water-based cleanser afterward removes any remaining residue. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?
This is TIRTIR's Korean-market formula, sourced and shipped with its original Korean-market packaging and batch coding rather than a separate US-reformulated version. Korean Pharmacy stocks the exact SKU sold through Korean retail rather than a substitute built for US shelves, which is the point of buying from a specialist rather than a general beauty retailer.
How should I store this to keep it in good condition?
Keep the cap or compact closed between uses and store it away from direct sunlight and heat, the same way you would any cosmetic. A cool, dry spot such as a drawer or cabinet keeps the texture and finish consistent for longer than leaving it exposed on a warm windowsill or in a hot car.

How to use
- Apply to completely dry skin and dry hands, massaging over the face to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then add water directly to the face and continue massaging until the oil turns milky. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a second, water-based cleanser.
Worth knowing
- Avoid combining a clay or acid cleanser with a strong exfoliating treatment on the same day.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm rather than hot water, which helps avoid stripping the skin further.
