Waterproof makeup, heavy sunscreens, and matte products don’t stand a chance against this oil-rich formula. Manyo’s cleansing oil is supercharged by 14 oils that coat the skin to cleanse away tough formulas. The oil evolves into a milky consistency and imparts nourishment to dry skin. “This is a popular option for dry skin types because this is made with rice bran oils that nourish the skin while cleansing it,” explains Cho.
Key ingredients: Grape seed oil, olive fruit oil, evening primrose oil, jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, rice bran oil, lavender oil
Size: 6.76 oz

Our expert says: “This year, I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t cleanse my face (when I have makeup on) without an oil cleanser. Sometimes, I only clean with this cleansing oil and move on. Because it emulsifies so well, everything washes off quickly and easily. However, since I have dryer skin, I appreciate how nourishing the oils in the formula are and don’t want to wash them away with a water-based face wash. My skin appreciates double cleansing, but it also seems to love my oil-cleansing-only method, too. Another thing: My nose’s pores are prone to clogging, but gently rubbing this oil into my skin somehow draws everything out, leaving me with ultra-smooth and clean-looking skin. If you feel like your pores need some heavy-duty help, I highly recommend the Deep Clean version of Manyo’s cleansing oil.”—Carol Lee, ELLE.com associate beauty e-commerce writer
