IUNIK CENTELLA GREEN FRESH CLEANSING OIL 200ML

100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) • Fragrance-Free (per declared INCI) • FA-Conditional

If you've been told oil cleansers "clog pores," the mechanism actually works the opposite way — oil-based makeup, sunscreen, and sebum dissolve into a similar oil far more completely than a water-based cleanser can lift them on their own.

Pros: lightweight for an oil cleanser, doesn't over-strip dry skin per reviewer reports, botanical blend rather than a single mineral oil, fragrance-free. Caveats: as an oil-forward formula it needs a proper emulsification step (water added gradually) to rinse clean; it is not a substitute for a water-based second cleanse.

In Mauritius heat, sunscreen and sebum mix into a film that feels grimy by evening — but scrubbing harder with a foaming cleanser alone often just spreads oil-based residue around rather than removing it, then strips the skin trying. An oil-first cleanse dissolves that oil-based film efficiently in under a minute, so the water-based second cleanse that follows can be gentle rather than aggressive.

This is why oily/acne-prone skin often benefits most from oil cleansing, counterintuitively — a proper oil-then-foam double cleanse actually needs less overall surfactant contact time than trying to remove sunscreen with foam alone.

Step 1 (When): PM, as the first step before your water-based cleanser (or AM too if you slept in sunscreen residue). Step 2 (How much): 2-3 pumps into completely dry hands. Step 3 (How): massage onto dry skin for 30-60 seconds, then add small amounts of water to emulsify until milky, then rinse fully.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else.

1. Centella Green Fresh Cleansing Oil (only if removing overnight sunscreen/product residue) → 2. Water-based cleanser → 3. Toner → 4. Serum → 5. Moisturizer → 6. Sunscreen. Most mornings, skip the oil step entirely and go straight to your water-based cleanser unless you can feel yesterday's sunscreen film.

1. Centella Green Fresh Cleansing Oil (dry skin, massage, emulsify, rinse) → 2. Water-based second cleanser → 3. Toner → 4. Treatment serum → 5. Moisturizer. This is a fixed first-step position — it always precedes, never follows, the water-based cleanse.

*Pump-to-ml estimate; brand does not disclose exact ml-per-pump.

Emulsify first: massage on completely dry skin and dry hands for 30-60 seconds, then add water gradually while continuing to massage — the texture will turn milky as the oil emulsifies. Rinse fully with lukewarm water only once it's fully milky; rinsing while still oily leaves residue behind.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global rules: viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, 10-15 minutes before sunscreen if going outdoors. Amount defaults: toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer, serum 2-3 drops or 1 pump, gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas, sunscreen the 2-finger rule for the face. Hydrators go on slightly damp skin. If the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional) → pH-Prep Toner (optional) → Hydrating Toner Layers (optional) → Essence (optional) → Mist (optional) → Booster/Soothing Serum (optional) → Antioxidant Lane (choose one) → Pigment Support Lane (choose one) → Hydration Serum Lane (optional) → Oil-Control Lane (choose one) → Peptide/Repair Lane (optional) → Eye Serum/Cream (optional) → Moisturizer → Optional Sealing Layer → Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) → Lip SPF (optional). In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking.

PM Maximum Stack: Micellar pre-cleanse (optional) → Oil Cleanser/Balm (this product, if wearing SPF/makeup) → Water Cleanser (second cleanse) → pH-Prep Toner (optional) → Hydrating Toner Layers (optional) → Essence (optional) → Soothing/Barrier Serum (optional) → Anchor treatment product → Targeted Serum (optional) → Moisturizer → Sleeping Mask (optional) → Occlusive Seal (optional) → Spot Treatment (as needed) → Lip Sleeping Mask (optional). Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane and reduce layers.

This is an oil-phase, rinse-off product used and washed away before any leave-on layering begins — it always occupies the very first position of a routine, ahead of even a water-based cleanser, and has no phase-compatibility implications for later steps.

Incomplete makeup/sunscreen removal: the sunflower/soybean/jojoba oil blend dissolves oil-based residue that a water-based cleanser alone often can't fully lift. Secondary benefit: Centella Asiatica Oil and Turmeric Root Extract are included for a mild soothing/antioxidant effect during the cleanse itself, though contact time is brief.

What this product cannot do: it cannot fully clean skin on its own — it must be followed by a water-based second cleanser to remove the emulsified residue. It also carries no acne-treating or brightening active.

Second (water-based) cleanser: primary — IUNIK Centella Bubble Cleansing Foam. Alternatives: IUNIK Beta Glucan Barrier Ampoule Cleanser, APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Facial Cleanser, Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser.

Toner: primary — IUNIK Tea Tree Relief Toner. Alternatives: Anua Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner, JUMISO All Day Vitamin Glow Boost Facial Toner, APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Facial Toner (only 1 unit left).

Pilling: not applicable — this is fully rinsed away before any leave-on product is applied.

Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; incomplete emulsification before rinsing in hard-water areas can leave a slightly filmy residue — add a little more water during the emulsifying step if this happens, and follow with your water-based second cleanse.

*Turmeric's antioxidant properties are supported by general ingredient-class literature; no SKU-specific clinical data was found for this exact formulation.

Full INCI: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Centella Asiatica Oil, Cupressus Sempervirens Leaf Oil, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Carapa Guaianensis Seed Oil, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Amber Powder, Squalane.

Preservative system: no dedicated INCI-listed preservative (e.g. phenoxyethanol, hexanediol) was found in the aggregated list for this anhydrous oil — anhydrous, water-free formulas typically need less preservation than water-based ones, but this was not independently confirmed against an official ingredient statement.

No Parfum/Fragrance entry in the declared INCI; reviewers describe a mild natural scent from the botanical oil blend itself, not an added fragrance. No EU26-listed fragrance allergen detected in the declared INCI. Alcohol-Free.

Halal: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-Free: *Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit. Whether IUNIK sells through Mainland China retail channels has not been independently confirmed.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — no solid particulate polymer detected in the declared INCI.

MFDS Classification: General Cosmetic. Evidence confidence: High for the oil-dissolves-oil cleansing mechanism (well-established cosmetic chemistry); Medium for Centella/Turmeric's soothing-antioxidant role given brief contact time in a rinse-off product.

Assessment: None — fully rinsed away before any leave-on layer.

Fresh oil should be a light, clear-to-pale-green oil; a rancid or notably darker/off smell signals oxidation of the plant oils (sunflower/soybean oils are more oxidation-prone than mineral oil). Store away from direct heat and sunlight — a bathroom shelf near a window in Mauritius sun can accelerate this. Discard if the scent turns sharp/rancid rather than mild and botanical.

Patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours, then behind the ear for 24 hours, before full facial use — the multi-botanical-extract blend (turmeric, neem, eggplant, holy basil) means individual plant-extract sensitivities are worth ruling out first. Stop immediately and seek care for hives, swelling, blistering, or breathing difficulty.

1) Rinsing before fully emulsifying — this leaves an oily film rather than a clean finish. 2) Skipping the water-based second cleanse entirely — oil cleansing alone doesn't remove water-soluble residue like sweat salts. 3) Applying to wet skin at the start — oil cleansers need to start on completely dry skin to bind properly to oil-based makeup/sunscreen. 4) Using it as a leave-on facial oil — it is formulated as a rinse-off product. 5) Over-massaging for several minutes expecting better results — 30-60 seconds is sufficient contact time.

At roughly 2-3 pumps per cleanse used once nightly (or twice on double-SPF days), a 200ml bottle typically lasts 8-12 weeks. Using excess product doesn't improve makeup removal once full coverage is achieved — it just shortens how long the bottle lasts. Reorder about two weeks before you expect to run out.

This oil cleanser is always the very first step on any day you wear sunscreen or makeup — it doesn't compete with anything downstream, it prepares skin for the rest of the routine. PM: this oil cleanser → water-based second cleanser → toner → treatment → moisturizer.

If you wore sunscreen all day, always use this step before bed regardless of how "clean" skin looks — SPF filters are specifically designed to resist water and sweat, which is exactly why an oil-first cleanse matters. If your skin feels stripped after double-cleansing, switch your second cleanser to a gentler amino-acid formula rather than skipping the oil step.

Stock-true bundle: this oil cleanser + IUNIK Centella Bubble Cleansing Foam + IUNIK Tea Tree Relief Toner forms a complete same-brand double-cleanse-plus-toner routine.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with this cleansing oil, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If you want a richer, more explicitly soothing oil cleanser, IUNIK Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil is the brand's other oil cleanser, built on Calendula plus sunflower/canola/jojoba/macadamia oils — a heavier, more cushioning texture aimed at drier or more irritated skin, versus this Centella version's lighter, faster-rinsing feel.

Choose Centella Green Fresh Cleansing Oil over the Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil if you need a lighter, faster-emulsifying texture: reviewers specifically describe this Centella version as finishing quickly and not over-loading oily/combination skin.

If your skin is oily or combination and prone to feeling over-oiled after cleansing oils generally, this lighter Centella formula is the better starting point. If your skin is very dry, tight, or visibly irritated, the richer Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil may feel more comfortable.

Don't switch if your current oil cleanser is already emulsifying cleanly and not leaving residue — there's no benefit to changing a cleanser that isn't causing a problem.

If you match the oily/combination, quick-routine profile above, this is worth choosing. If not, the richer Calendula version is a reasonable alternative. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: dissolving oil-based makeup and sunscreen as the first cleanse. You do NOT need this if you already own a working oil or balm cleanser that you're happy with — finish that one first, since two open oil cleansers simply age in parallel with no stacking benefit.

IUNIK positions itself as an online-first, ingredient-led Korean skincare brand built around named hero-ingredient product lines. This Centella oil cleanser sits alongside the brand's Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil as two distinct entry points into double-cleansing, aimed at slightly different skin needs (lighter/oily-leaning versus richer/soothing).

Reviewers on Olive Young Global and independent retailer listing pages describe the product as cleansing well, removing blackheads, and having a pleasant natural scent from the botanical oil blend. One reviewer with very dry skin noted it did not feel as stripping as some other oil cleansers marketed toward oily skin, and a TikTok reviewer (@ririsglow_) described the texture as lightweight and suitable for everyday double-cleansing on oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. A minority of reviewers noted the texture is slightly thicker and finishes emulsifying faster than some competing oils — a neutral trait rather than a strong complaint. No dedicated Reddit thread specific to this exact SKU was found this run.

Do I still need a second cleanser after this? Yes — oil cleansing is the first step of a double cleanse, not a replacement for a water-based cleanse.

Will it clog my pores? Properly emulsified and rinsed, oil cleansers generally do not clog pores more than any other cleanser; the risk comes from under-rinsing, not the oil format itself.

Is it fragrance-free? No added Parfum/Fragrance is declared; the scent comes from the botanical oil blend itself.

Can I use it every day? Yes, nightly on any day you wear sunscreen or makeup is the intended use pattern.

Is it good for oily skin? Yes — reviewers specifically note it doesn't feel heavy, and oil-based sebum/sunscreen dissolves more completely with an oil-first cleanse than foam alone.
