The Simplest Guide to Double Cleansing

Double cleansing, uncomplicated.

Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser

Need the perfect oil cleanser to melt away your makeup and sunscreen? Start with our Ginseng Cleansing Oil, made with a lightweight mix of soybean and ginseng seed oils. It’s formulated for all skin types, so even if you’re oily or blemish-prone, you’ll love how it feels on your face. This easy-to-use cleansing oil uses micellar cleansing technology to lift away buildup and impurities like a magnet. Using clean, dry hands, apply 2-3 pumps onto completely dry skin. Make sure to massage it in thoroughly so it can break down oil-based impurities. Once you’re done, add water to emulsify the formula and rinse it all off with lukewarm water.

Remember that you can use any oil-based formula for this step, so if you prefer something solid to travel with or want a slightly more nourishing option, you can also swap it out for our Radiance Cleansing Balm. This luxuriously soft balm melts into an oil as soon as it meets your skin, offering a different sensorial texture with the same double-cleansing benefits.

Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser

Now it’s time to sweep away any remaining sweat and dirt. Our water-based Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser is the perfect pick whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin. This barrier-friendly, pH-balanced daily cleanser is infused with more of our favorite Hanbang ingredients, like vitamin-rich plum water and mung bean extract. Not only does it thoroughly cleanse, it also leaves your skin soft and moisturized, never dry and tight. All you need is a dime-sized amount. Massage it in, rinse it off, and you’re officially done with your double cleanse.
