Throw Away Your Wipes And Take Your Makeup Off Properly With This Double Cleansing Set

Take a page from the Korean beauty bible and use two cleansers to make sure *everything* is off.

Whether you wear makeup or not, double cleansing is the best way to ensure you're getting everything that's clogging your pores and can lead to acne forming — makeup, SPF, sweat, sebum, environmental stressors, etc. — off of your face. And The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil and Cleansing Foam is the power couple to do exactly that for you.

Because you can't expect your face to recover, turn over new cells, and renew itself while you sleep if you still have lingering makeup and dirt on your face, and proper cleansing means all of your other skincare products sink in faster and deeper, and work more effectively — because that ish costs hard-earned $$$!

First, you apply an oil cleanser to dry skin and massage it into your skin thoroughly to draw out oil-based impurities, and then rinse off with lukewarm water. Then you follow up with a water-based cleanser to remove water-based debris like sweat and dirt.

It's not just for your nighttime routine: follow up in the morning with a double cleanse to remove any oil you might have formed or accumulated while sleeping!

Its star ingredient, rice water, contains vitamins A, B, and E (as well as other minerals and ceramides) said to keep skin super hydrated (even while it's getting rid of gunk), prevent cell aging, and brighten your skin.

Promising review: "I never realized how much I've been missing out before using these cleansers. The oil and foam cleanser duo works amazing on my dry skin. Most cleansers leave my face feeling tight, but this cleanser just makes me feel clean without stripping away moisture. My overall complexion has become more even and bright; my friends even thought I was wearing makeup! But no, it is just these wonderful Rice Water cleansers that gave me the clear skin I've always wanted." —A.

Don't believe the hype? What about 1.4k reviews with an average 4.2 rating? ✨

It really, truly gets rid of all of your makeup — even waterproof formulas — gently and without any harsh scrubbing.

"The oil cleanser is like magic, I swear. I use L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara and Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner, and with just one pump of oil they both melt off!" —T. T.

"I have never liked washing my face because it is extremely drying on my skin. High-end or low-end, cleansers have always dried my face out. I read the reviews and decided to try this one. Let me warn you, a little goes a long way! I never use a full pump of either product. The foaming cleanser really expands so I use half a pea-sized drop following the cleansing oil. My skin is now smooth and pimple-free!" —Hotdog

It's also the perfect introduction into K-beauty if you don't know where to start, since double cleansing is literally the first step of any K-beauty routine — and contrary to popular belief, oil is great for oily/combination skin!

Above photo review: "I have combination skin and love this duo! I just bought my second bottle. The smell is so smooth and soothing, the oil melts your makeup off, and the face wash is gentle and makes my skin feel so soft. I haven’t been comfortable with my skin because I broke out after I went off my birth control and I had a little skin discoloration due to my acne, but it’s gotten so much better and I feel comfortable taking pictures without filters or makeup on. My skin is healthy and glowing; it’s worth every penny." —Arienne Yanes

"I wanted to get into Korean skincare, so I ordered these products after a friend recommended them. They work really well to clean my skin, as they entirely got rid of the pesky bumps on my forehead that had been there for YEARS. When I travel (and don’t pack these), I am shocked by how poorly other facial cleansers remove eye makeup. I highly recommend these, especially if you have acne or bumps and struggle to keep your skin exfoliated and really clean of makeup at night. The only downside is that the makeup remover makes my eyes water a lot if I get it in them, but it’s not painful. Lastly, the smell of these is so subtle and pleasant!" —Amazon Customer

It also helps clear up redness and address sensitive skin issues — psst, it doesn't contain skin-aggravating sulfates, rejoice!

Above photo review: "I was skeptical about buying these products, due to me having rosacea and fearing they might irritate it or make it worse. But I ordered it and gave it a try. By week one (along with an organic facial moisturizer), my redness has almost cleared completely. I have included before and after photos of my results. I'm not sure if this works for everyone else, but believe me when I say I have tried every other cleanser out there and nothing helped, except this one. I will reorder these products again in the future." —Michelle
