Description

Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil 120ml is a preservative-free cleansing oil for sensitive, dry, and reactive skin — the current 8th-generation formula designed to remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen without the preservatives, fragrance, and alcohol that trigger sensitisation in reactive skin types. FANCL's preservative-free formulation (Mutenka) is the brand's defining characteristic and reflects pharmaceutical-grade purity standards.

  • Preservative-free (Mutenka) — no preservatives, fragrance, alcohol, or tar-based colorants; minimal irritant profile
  • Aged Hop Extract — softens hardened sebum and keratin to clear pores without mechanical scrubbing
  • Green Tea Extract — natural antioxidant that tightens the skin post-rinse and provides free radical protection
  • Meadowfoam Seed Oil — provides a rich emollient cushion that locks in moisture during the cleansing process
  • Smooth Cushion technology — reduces friction against skin during the massage phase
  • 120ml — standard size; FANCL recommends replacing within 90 days of opening due to preservative-free formulation

How it works: Without preservatives, FANCL uses a low-water base and airtight pump to prevent bacterial growth — the tradeoff is a 90-day use-by period after opening. The Aged Hop Extract is the key pore-clearing active: hops are known to soften keratinised cells and sebum plugs without the abrasion of physical scrubs. The result is pore-clearing that feels gentle enough for daily use on reactive skin.

FANCL standard vs Black & Smooth: The standard Mild Cleansing Oil is the sensitive-skin daily cleansing formula — balanced for all-round makeup and sunscreen removal with minimal irritation risk. The Black & Smooth variant adds activated charcoal and clay for more intensive pore cleansing at the cost of a slightly higher active load — suited for oily or congested skin that can tolerate more active ingredients. For sensitive or reactive skin, always use the standard Mild Cleansing Oil.

Known in Japan as ファンケル マイルドクレンジング オイル 120ml.

Key Ingredients

  • Aged Hop Extract: Softens keratin and hardened sebum to clear pores without aggressive scrubbing.
  • Green Tea Extract: Naturally tightens the skin and provides antioxidant protection post-rinse.
  • Meadowfoam Seed Oil: Provides a rich, emollient cushion that locks in moisture during the cleaning process.
  • High-Purity Glycerin: Ensures the skin remains hydrated and plump after the oil is emulsified.
  • Free-from: Preservatives, Fragrance, Synthetic Colors, Petroleum Surfactants, and UV Absorbers.

HOW TO USE

  1. Apply 2 pumps of oil to your palms (can be used with wet or dry hands).
  2. Gently spread over the face using light, circular motions—do not rub hard.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water (about body temperature).

Pro Tip: Focus on the "T-zone" for 30 seconds to help the Aged Hop Extract break down stubborn blackheads.

FAQ

Does the Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil expire quickly because it is preservative-free?
Yes, to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness for sensitive skin, Fancl uses a "Freshness Period." Unopened bottles last for 3 years, but once opened, the product should be used within 120 days. Each bottle comes with a "Freshness Sticker" so you can track your opening date.

How does Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil compare to the Fancl Black & Smooth version?
The Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil (Classic) is the versatile all-rounder for sensitive skin and makeup removal. The Black & Smooth version is a specialized formula containing Charcoal and Mud, specifically designed for those whose primary concern is severe blackheads and oily congestion.

Is it necessary to use a second face wash after using Fancl?
While Fancl rinses away very cleanly, the brand recommends following with a foaming cleanser (like the Fancl Facial Washing Powder) to ensure all dissolved impurities are fully removed. This "Double Cleanse" is the standard for the Japanese "Glass Skin" routine.

Can I use this if I have very oily, acne-prone skin?
Absolutely. Because it effectively dissolves oxidized sebum (the root of acne), it is excellent for oily skin. It is non-comedogenic and helps balance oil production by ensuring the skin isn't "over-stripped," which often causes the skin to produce even more oil.

What is the difference between Fancl and Kose Softymo Speedy?
The main difference is the "cushion" and purity. Softymo is a lightweight, high-speed oil for quick removal. Fancl is a thicker, serum-like treatment that is 100% preservative-free. If your skin feels sensitive or "raw" after using standard oils, Fancl is the high-tier upgrade you need.

How do I identify a fake vs. authentic Fancl and how does TokyoShelf source?
Authentic Fancl bottles feature a distinct manufacture date printed on the box/bottle and a QR code that links to the "Made in Japan" certification page. Fakes often lack these details and have a runny, thin texture. At TokyoShelf, we source sourced fresh from Tokyo directly from Fancl authorized pharmacies to ensure you receive the latest 2026 8th-gen formula.
