Your time is precious, and your evening skincare ritual is a non-negotiable moment of self-care. You want a cleansing oil that transforms makeup removal from a chore into a pampering, efficient experience that leaves your skin feeling impeccably clean and refreshed.

Melts Makeup Instantly, No Rubbing

Users say it 'takes off everything in one go'—even waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation dissolve without harsh scrubbing that can cause wrinkles.

Clears Pores Without Stripping Skin

The oil-based formula lifts dirt and sebum from deep within pores, leaving skin 'perfectly clean' but never feeling 'tight' or 'dry' like some foaming washes.

Prevents New Blackheads Before They Start

By thoroughly dissolving oil and debris nightly, it helps keep pores clear. Reviewers note 'fewer clogged pores' and 'less need for pore strips.'

Saves Time in Your Evening Routine

It's a true 2-in-1: a makeup remover and deep cleanser. Many say it 'cuts my routine in half' and is 'so fast and easy.'

Leaves Skin Incredibly Soft, Not Greasy

The light oils rinse away completely, leaving behind a 'baby-soft,' smooth texture. No oily film means your next skincare products absorb better.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive, Reactive Skin

Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, it's praised by users with rosacea and eczema for being 'soothing' and causing 'zero redness.'

Optimizes Your Skin for Better Results

A perfectly clean canvas allows your serums and moisturizers to work more effectively. Think of it as 'prepping your skin to absorb the good stuff.'

Simplifies Caring for Mature Skin

It cleanses thoroughly while respecting thinner, more delicate skin. Users over 40 love that it 'doesn't tug' and helps their skin look 'refreshed, not tired.'

1. Start with dry hands and a dry face. Pump 2-3 times (about a nickel-sized amount) into your palm. 2. Gently massage the oil over your entire face for 60-90 seconds, focusing on areas with makeup or visible pores. The oil will turn milky as it binds to impurities. 3. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to emulsify the oil completely. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. No need for a second cleanser. Use nightly as the first step in your double-cleanse routine. **Timeline Expectations**: Week 1: Skin feels 'squeaky clean' without tightness. Makeup and sunscreen melt away 'so easily.' Week 2-3: Pores appear less 'clogged' and 'noticeably smaller.' Skin texture feels smoother. Week 4+: Consistent use helps prevent new blackheads from forming. Your skin maintains its natural balance, feeling 'soft' and 'clear' with less effort.

Kose was founded in 1946 in Tokyo, Japan, with a simple philosophy: create skincare that works for real life. The Softymo Clear Turn line was developed specifically for the modern challenge of city living—where pollution, stress, and makeup create stubborn, clogged pores that water-based cleansers can't fully remove. Our chemists in Osaka selected a unique blend of natural plant oils and a patented enzyme complex because they dissolve makeup and sebum without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility under Japan's strict Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. This dedication has made it a top-ranked cleansing oil in Japan for over a decade, trusted by millions for its gentle yet effective formula.

The Kose Softymo Clear Turn Pore Komachi Enzyme Cleansing Oil is formulated with a blend of key ingredients designed to effectively cleanse and improve skin texture. It contains mineral oil and isopropyl myristate as primary cleansing agents, which dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum without stripping the skin's natural moisture. The inclusion of papain, an enzyme derived from papaya, provides gentle exfoliation by breaking down dead skin cells and keratin, helping to refine pores and promote a smoother complexion. Additionally, olive oil and jojoba oil are incorporated for their emollient properties, offering hydration and maintaining the skin's barrier function. Tocopherol (vitamin E) acts as an antioxidant to protect against environmental stressors, while fragrance components provide a pleasant sensory experience. This combination ensures thorough yet gentle cleansing, making it suitable for daily use to achieve clear, soft, and balanced skin.
