Description

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 150ml is a olive oil-based cleansing oil for all skin types including sensitive and dry — Japan's best-selling cleansing oil for over 30 years, using Organic Virgin Olive Oil as the primary carrier that dissolves oil-based makeup, sunscreen, and sebum on contact and emulsifies with water for a rinse that leaves no greasy residue. It is the product credited with establishing the oil cleansing category in Japan.

  • Organic Virgin Olive Oil — antioxidant-rich oil that dissolves waterproof makeup and sunscreen while nourishing the skin barrier during cleansing
  • Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative damage during and after cleansing
  • Rosemary Leaf Oil — botanical that invigorates the skin and provides natural fragrance
  • Stearyl Glycyrrhizinate — licorice-derived soothing active that calms potential cleansing irritation
  • Water-soluble formula — rinses completely with no greasy residue, no wipe-off required
  • 150ml — standard size; can be used on face, eye area, and lips for complete makeup removal

How it works: Oil cleansing works on the "like dissolves like" principle — oil-based makeup and sebum dissolve into an oil solvent far more completely than into water-based cleansers or micellar formulas. DHC uses Olive Oil rather than mineral oil or synthetic solvents because it is structurally similar to the skin's own sebum, making it gentler on the skin barrier during daily cleansing. The emulsifying agents in the formula allow the oil-makeup mixture to be rinsed completely with water.

DHC vs FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil: DHC uses Organic Olive Oil as the primary carrier — richer and more nourishing, suited for dry and normal skin. FANCL uses a lighter oil system in a preservative-free formula — better suited for sensitive or reactive skin that needs the lowest possible irritant load. For general daily cleansing of dry to normal skin, DHC. For sensitive or acne-prone skin, FANCL.

Known in Japan as DHC 薬用ディープクレンジングオイル 200ml.

Key Ingredients

  • Organic Virgin Olive Oil: A powerful antioxidant-rich oil that protects the skin barrier.
  • Rosemary Leaf Oil: Invigorates the skin and provides a natural, calming botanical scent.
  • Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Softens the skin and fights free radical damage from pollution.
  • Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate: A licorice-derived anti-inflammatory that prevents redness.

HOW TO USE

  1. Dispense 2–3 pumps into completely dry hands.
  2. Massage onto your dry face for 30–60 seconds to dissolve makeup and oil.
  3. Wet your hands with lukewarm water and massage again to emulsify (the oil will turn white).
  4. Rinse thoroughly.

Pro Tip: For the best results, follow with a gentle foaming cleanser (Double Cleansing) to ensure every trace of debris is removed.

FAQ

Is DHC Deep Cleansing Oil good for removing waterproof makeup?
Yes, it is commonly used to remove makeup and sunscreen effectively without harsh rubbing.

Will this cleansing oil clog pores?
It is designed to dissolve impurities and rinse clean, helping maintain a smooth skin feel when used properly.

Is it safe for eyelash extensions?
Because this is a high-potency oil cleanser, we recommend avoiding the lash line if you have extensions, as the oils can weaken the adhesive bond.

Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
Absolutely. It may seem counterintuitive, but "oil dissolves oil." This cleanser is non-comedogenic and is highly effective at removing the excess sebum that causes breakouts.

Do I need to double cleanse after using this?
In Japanese routines, it is often followed by a foaming cleanser for complete cleansing.

Is it suitable for daily use?
Yes, it is widely used daily as the first step in cleansing routines.

Will it leave an oily residue?
No, when emulsified with water, it rinses off cleanly without heavy residue.

DHC Cleansing Oil vs Kose Softymo Cleansing Oil — which should I choose?
DHC uses olive oil-based formulation with a focus on simple ingredients, while Softymo offers lighter textures and variations; choice depends on preference for texture and feel.

How to identify original DHC cleansing oil and avoid fake products?
Authentic products have proper Japanese packaging and consistent quality; Tokyo Shelf ensures direct-from-Tokyo sourcing, fresh stock, and authentic Japan version, reducing counterfeit risk.
