Girls, our Skin is precious and delicate, it presents our self-worth, respect, attractiveness, and confidence. The more stunning your skin is, the more affection you show to yourself. This is about not only our look but also how we really take care of ourselves. So, surround your beloved skin with fascinating goodies that make the flawless healthy look no longer to be a fiction. Since the day when my skin was in a very big trouble, I’ve explored and collected lots of skincare products. They really work to resolve and improve different skin ailments.

Very long ago, I posted a review of Laneige Fresh Brightening Cleansing Oil, the product is quite good, it took over couple months to let my flaking condition calm down. Stepping into this new year, my skin was much better, I mean it’s back to normal though. I’ve started switching to a new cleansing product that’s gonna be suitable for my current skin type. Ta-da! I get a new “friend” here, welcome to my review of Laneige Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil.

1. About the Product

The “Fresh Brightening” I used before is able to mildly remove minimal makeup and sunscreen. Otherwise, the “Perfect Pore” is inclined to get rid of all unwanted residues, even the water-resistant, heaviest makeup. The product’s two signature ingredients are natural virgin coconut Oil and mugwort extract. Both provide potent cleansing agents to skin at low hazard.

Many researches and studies have proved the wonderful efficacy of coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera) for facial cleansing. The natural virgin coconut oil is derived from coconut fresh milk, it’s pure and unrefined in the absence of synthetic, chemical filters. That is reason why the “virgin” is more desirable in skincare than the “regular.” Moreover, the refined type is made of the copra (dried coconut kernel or coconut meat), it’s more likely to result in much thicker, heavier consistency. That can lead to overactive sebum production and clogged pores. In contrast, the virgin one tends to be much lighter with smaller particles, which can penetrate deeply into skin without blocking the pores.

Then, This enables the product to thoroughly seep into layers of impurities and solubilize pollution, dirt, debris, excessive sebum and makeup. The coconut oil also brings antimicrobial, antifungal and detergent activities. Moreover, famed for giving skin high emollient factors, rich in fatty acids to quickly minimize the appearance of flaky, scaly patches, so it’s suggestive for sensitive, dry skin. Compared to the “regular” (refined), the “virgin” (unrefined) preserves a greater amount of nutrients and doesn’t expose to chemicals.

Formulated with the distilled Ganghwa Mugwort (Artemisia Princeps) leaf water, which provides purifying, stimulating, antibiotic and anti-acne properties. It’s prone to kill nasty bacteria and liberate the clogged pores. Plus, the ingredient boasts calcium, fiber, minerals and vitamins (A and C), which helps to improve the complexion for a brighter, clearer look. The cleansing oil promises to effectively reduce blackheads, tighten the pores and control sebum production, while making skin stay moist.

In addition, the product contains botanical extracts of Chamomile (Anthemis Nobilis) flower, Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia), Marsh Mallow (Althaea Officinalis) root, Lemon Verbena (Lippia Citriodora) leaf, Centella Asiatica and Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf. Those are meant to soothe and hydrate skin as well as relieve the fatigue after exposing to external aggressors. There are many included chemical compounds as thickening, conditioning, emulsifying and viscosity regulating agents and fragrance. The product is non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested, not tested on animals.

2. My Thoughts

Cleansing oil is really something can’t-live-without to me in my everyday skincare routine, especially at night time before bed. I utilize it for my double cleansing to ultimately lift away excessive sebum, makeup and perils of environment, such as grime or pollutants, from my delicate skin. This is usually my initial step of cleansing to dissolve foundation, concealer, lipstick and eyeliners. In spite of being makeup-free, I still love massaging my face coated with the oil to relax, but also deeply eliminate sunscreen and sweat residual in the pores after heading outdoor. Furthermore, using oil-based cleanser prior to cleansing water or cream makes my skin less stripped off.

To begin with, the product has a watery base that is runny, transparent, greasy and colorless. It has subtly little denser consistency than the Laneige Fresh Brightening Cleansing Oil does, even though both seem to look alike. The Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil doesn’t cause any uncomfortably, heavy feelings on the surface. In the event of slathering a lot of makeup layers, I prefer pumping 3-4 drops into a couple of cotton pads and gently wipe my face to take off some makeup first.

Next, apply some other drops directly on skin, it swiftly spreads all over my face. Massage in circular motion for 30 seconds, the oil instantly melts down persistent things remaining. Then, dab lukewarm water on top and massage once again for a few seconds. Despite my eyes are really sensitive, it doesn’t arouse irritation or burning. Instead, temporarily brings blurry problem to my sight while using. However, that is gone after rinsing off.

Once interacting with water, the cleansing oil turns into a pale, milky liquid and flushes out the impurities. Wash them off with water and then, move to another cleansing step. It leaves refreshing rather than tight, squeaky clean sensation. One more reason I’m fond of rubbing my skin with the oil is it helps to gently pull out dry pimples, like whiteheads and blackheads, without triggering more clogs, redness and inflammation. Additionally, whilst massaging, you might imperceptibly find some tiny clumps that are dry, dead skin cells sloughed off.

To be honest, my skin is recently smoother and clearer than before. I’ve been using the product for 2 months and this is my second order. it’s genuinely nice, there is no allergic breakout or itchiness. My skin is a type of combination, sensitive with redness around cheeks and acne-prone, uneasy to go for any skincare products. But, this one is literally amazing to me.

Look at my complexion now, it’s much healthier with natural radiance upon. Even during my menstrual acne, the product doesn’t bring about any obnoxious reactions or aggravate my skin condition. I’d recommend the cleansing oil to most of skin types, such as normal, combination, sensitive, oily and dry folk. The product does have fragrance, which is mild, not overwhelming, whereas my former oil has a very strong floral scent.

Moderately sensitive skin is gonna fall in love with it. I’m not very sure about severely sensitive ones, who frequently get reddened and flare-ups, like psoriasis or rosacea. For the best, you should check this with a dermatologist in your case. However, I haven’t seen anyone getting allergies from it. It’s worth to try.

3. Packaging

The oil comes into a semi-opaque, green plastic bottle, which is handy and neat with a medium size, but this is kinda big for traveling. There are black texts on the bottle for brand and product names in the front as well as the direction at the back. the bottle comes with a cap on top and there is a complimentary pump that you can switch when using. The bottle is tough to withstand physical damage. The pump is good and not stuck like what I had before with the Fresh Brightening.

4. Rating 8/10

I think the product is fantastic with gentle, powerful cleansing properties whist skin is kept staying moist for my daily skincare routine. I’ll give it 8 out of 10.

I hope my review is useful and informative enough about the Laneige Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil. If you have any questions or ideas, please be open with me. I’d love to hear you out. Thank you so much for joining me!
