Description

FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil Black & Smooth 120ml is the pore-focused variant of FANCL's preservative-free cleansing oil for oily and congested skin — adding Activated Charcoal, Adsorbing Clay, Komenuka (Rice Bran) Extract, and Hop Extract to the standard Mild Cleansing Oil base for deeper blackhead removal alongside makeup cleansing, while maintaining FANCL's Mutenka preservative-free formulation standard.

  • Activated Charcoal — adsorbs sebum, oxidised oil, and impurities from inside pores through electromagnetic attraction
  • Adsorbing Clay — draws out surface debris and fine pore congestion that charcoal alone may not capture
  • Komenuka (Rice Bran) Extract — traditional Japanese brightening and softening botanical
  • Hop Extract — softens hardened sebum plugs inside pores (shared with the standard Mild Cleansing Oil)
  • Preservative-free (Mutenka) — same zero-preservative standard as the standard formula
  • 120ml — 90-day post-opening use period; replace within 3 months

How it works: The Black & Smooth adds pore-adsorbing actives (charcoal and clay) to the standard formula's sebum-softening action. Charcoal attracts oil molecules into its porous structure during the massage phase; clay adsorbs fine surface particles and debris. Together they provide a more thorough pore clearance per wash than a standard cleansing oil can achieve — the trade-off is a slightly higher active concentration that is less appropriate for very sensitive or reactive skin.

Black & Smooth vs standard FANCL for oily skin: If you have oily or congested skin without significant sensitivity, Black & Smooth is the more effective pore-cleaning option. If your skin is reactive, easily irritated, or has atopic tendencies, stick with the standard Mild Cleansing Oil. Both are preservative-free and of equivalent quality — the difference is whether the additional pore-clearing actives are needed.

Known in Japan as ファンケル マイルドクレンジング オイル〈ブラック&スムース〉120mL.

Key Ingredients

  • Activated Charcoal — adsorbs sebum, oxidised oil, and impurities from inside pores; gives the oil its distinctive black colour
  • Adsorbing Clay — draws out congestion and fine surface debris that charcoal alone may not reach
  • Komenuka (Rice Bran) Extract — a traditional Japanese skin-conditioning ingredient; helps maintain a soft, even skin texture after cleansing
  • Hop Extract — supports skin barrier stability and helps minimise post-cleansing irritation

HOW TO USE

  1. Dispense 2 pumps onto dry or wet palms.
  2. Massage gently over dry or wet face in circular motions for 30–60 seconds.
  3. Add a small amount of water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly.
  4. Follow with your regular face wash if preferred.
  5. Pro tip: use on bare skin even on no-makeup days to clear daily pore congestion — FANCL recommends this as a standalone pore-care step.

FAQ

How is this different from the standard FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil?

The standard version (blue) focuses on gentle, all-skin-type makeup removal. The Black & Smooth adds four dedicated pore-care actives — charcoal, adsorbing clay, rice bran, and hop — making it specifically suited for oily, congested, or blackhead-prone skin.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

FANCL's Mutenka (无添加) standard means no preservatives, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colorants, petroleum surfactants, or UV absorbers — making it gentler than most drugstore cleansing oils. That said, if your skin reacts to charcoal or clay, patch test first.

Can I use it with lash extensions?

Yes. FANCL confirms this formula is safe for use with standard cyanoacrylate-based lash extensions.

FANCL Black & Smooth vs. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil — which is better for pores?

DHC's formula is olive-oil based and excellent for general makeup removal, but has no dedicated pore-clearing actives. FANCL Black & Smooth is purpose-formulated for pore congestion with charcoal and adsorbing clay, making it the stronger choice for blackhead-prone skin.

Is this the Japan-domestic version?

Yes. This is the Japan-domestic formula sold at Matsumotokiyoshi and across Japanese drugstores. TokyoShelf sources directly from Tokyo — not export versions or gray-market supply.
