Makeup Melts Away Effortlessly

Users say it 'dissolves even waterproof mascara in one go' without the need for harsh scrubbing or separate eye makeup removers, making your routine faster and gentler.

No More Tight, Squeaky-Clean Feeling

Cleanses so thoroughly you 'feel the grit come out' of pores, but leaves skin feeling 'incredibly soft and supple' instead of stripped and tight.

Skin Looks Brighter and Clearer

By ensuring a perfectly clean canvas every night, it helps prevent pore-clogging residue, leading to a 'more translucent' complexion and reduced appearance of dullness.

A Calming Start to Your Evening Ritual

The silky, frictionless glide turns cleansing from a chore into a 'spa-like moment,' helping you wash away the stress of the day along with makeup.

Prepares Skin to Absorb Everything Else Better

With all impurities removed without a barrier-damaging film, your serums and moisturizers that follow can 'sink in more effectively' for better results.

Gentle Enough for Daily Use on Sensitive Skin

Reviewers with reactive skin note it 'doesn't cause redness or breakouts' and is 'the only thing that removes everything without irritation.'

Saves Time and Product in Your Routine

Its efficiency means you often don't need cotton pads, separate removers, or a second cleanser, simplifying your regimen and saving money on other products.

Builds Confidence in Your Skin's Base Health

Knowing your skin is impeccably clean each night provides peace of mind and creates a reliable foundation for addressing other skin goals, from anti-aging to hydration.

1. **Dual-Action Purifying Oil** — A proprietary blend of high-purity, skin-compatible oils (including olive oil and jojoba oil derivatives) engineered to bind to both water-soluble sweat and oil-soluble makeup and sebum for complete removal. 2. **Moisture-Lock Emulsification** — Patented emulsification technology ensures the oil rinses completely clean with water without leaving a greasy film, while helping to prevent moisture loss during cleansing. 3. **pH-Balanced Formula** — Developed to match skin's natural acid mantle (approximately pH 5.5), supporting the skin barrier's health and preventing dryness. 4. **Fragrance-Free & Sensitive Skin Considered** — Contains no artificial fragrance or colorants, minimizing potential for irritation. 5. **Micro-Molecule Oil Blend** — Uses lightweight oils with smaller molecular structures for faster penetration and efficient dissolution of impurities without heavy rubbing. 6. **Opacified Bottle** — Housed in an opaque container to protect the integrity of the oil blend from light degradation. 7. **Made in Japan under GMP** — Manufactured in a Japanese facility certified for Good Manufacturing Practices, guaranteeing stringent hygiene and quality standards. 8. **Dermatologist-Tested** — Formula has undergone dermatological testing for safety. 9. **Non-Comedogenic Assurance** — Formulated to rinse cleanly and is tested not to clog pores. 10. **One-Way Pump Dispenser** — Hygienic, airless pump delivers the perfect dose and prevents contamination or oxidation of the formula inside.

1. Start with dry hands and a dry face. Dispense 2-3 pumps of oil into your palm. 2. Gently massage the oil over your entire face for 60 seconds, including the eye area, to thoroughly dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. 3. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your fingertips and continue massaging. The oil will emulsify into a milky texture. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until completely clean. Follow with your usual DECORTE AQ lotion. For best results, use as the first step in your double-cleansing routine every evening. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Skin feels deeply clean yet noticeably softer, not tight or stripped. Makeup removes effortlessly. Week 2-3: Consistent use helps clear pores, leading to a smoother texture and a more refined appearance. Skin looks clearer. Week 4+: With impurities consistently removed, skin's natural clarity and radiance become more apparent. The cleansing ritual supports long-term skin health and preparation for subsequent treatment steps.

Born from DECORTE's 50-year dedication to skin science, this cleansing oil was created to solve a modern paradox: the need for deep purification without stripping the skin's natural radiance. In Japan, where meticulous cleansing is a non-negotiable first step, the AQ line was developed for those who feel their skin's potential is dulled by daily environmental stressors. The formula centers on a proprietary blend of high-purity Japanese oils, selected for their molecular affinity to skin, to dissolve makeup and impurities while respecting the skin's barrier. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to the strictest quality control standards that have made Japanese skincare a global benchmark. It's a consistent top-seller in the premium cleansing category in Japan, trusted for its reliable performance that turns a daily chore into a moment of skin renewal.

Kose DECORTE AQ Cleansing Oil - Supreme Radiance & Deep Purification is formulated with a blend of high-quality oils and botanical extracts designed to effectively cleanse while nourishing the skin. Key ingredients include olive oil, which serves as a primary cleansing agent to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. Jojoba oil is incorporated for its similarity to the skin's natural sebum, providing hydration and helping to balance oil production. Additionally, the product features safflower seed oil, rich in linoleic acid, to soothe and soften the skin while enhancing radiance. Botanical extracts such as rosemary leaf extract and lavender oil are included for their antioxidant and calming properties, respectively, to protect against environmental stressors and promote a clear complexion. These ingredients work synergistically to offer deep purification, leaving the skin feeling clean, supple, and luminous without residue or tightness, making it suitable for various skin types seeking a gentle yet effective cleansing experience.
