Performance - It leaves the skin soft after cleansing and cuts through layers of sunscreen. Plus, it's easy to use with quick emulsification and a great price. It's not the most exciting cleanser, most fun, cute packaging, but it does what it's supposed to well. Overall, it's 9/10 and is recommendable for an affordable, fragrance-free, and effective oil cleanser that emulsifies quickly.

Mediocrity - It's a 2/5, as DHC has set a high standard for oil cleansers with its thick consistency and moisturizing finish. Still, the Hada Labo is not a bad product, it just depends on one's preference, and it'll be a good fit for oily skin or if you live in a humid climate. Overall, it's lightweight, mild, gentle, and won't clog pores.

Recommendation - It made a user's skin softer. They also claimed that it's a gentle oil cleanser great for everyday use, especially for those who apply light makeup or those who have eyelash extensions. It's especially recommended for those who live in drier regions or have sensitive/dry skin. Also, since it's light and gentle, any skin type, even those with oily skin, may use it.

Consistency - Consistency is thin and runny, making it easy to spread evenly across the face without tugging at the skin. It's also not the lightest weight oil cleanser, but it's not greasy, making it fall in the middle and feel nice on the skin. A user found its consistency perfect and emollient enough to get grits.

Fragrance - It doesn't contain fragrance, essential oils, mineral oils, fragrant plant extracts, denatured alcohols, or harmful, irritating substances. Thus, it doesn't smell like focaccia or pasta, unlike other olive oil-based cleansers. Also, it's an enjoyable cosmetic cleansing oil because its emulsifiers help the oils go into the water.

Emulsifying - It's a cleanser that emulsifies, meaning it turns milky when a bit of water is applied. It doesn't only help lift off impurities but also makes the cleanser easier to rinse off.

Performance - It can remove 3 layers of P20 Kids SPF50+ well, and after cleansing, it gives the skin a soft, plump, and hydrated feeling; also, due to the fluidity, you don't have to tug or rub to remove it. Though it doesn't greatly improve clogged pores, it helps prevent breakouts, meaning it can do its job. Plus, the BHA may have helped as well.

Removing Makeup - It works well and effectively for removing makeup without feeling stripped. It can remove heavy sunscreen and non-waterproof makeup, including concealer, blush, lipstick, eyeshadow, and bronzer. It also claims to remove waterproof makeup, but with waterproof mascara, you may need to take an extra minute to work it in and break down the product to completely remove it. However, a user claimed that it could not remove the Miss Baby Roll mascara by L'Oréal, although that's a non-water-resistant product.

Use - It's directed to be used by keeping the face and hands dry first, then taking an appropriate amount (2-3 pumps as mentioned in the packaging) to the palm, then spreading it over the entire face and gently massaging to dissolve makeup, grime, impurities, and other unwanted substances on the skin, then to rinse well with lukewarm water and follow up with a second cleanse using a facial cleanser. Also, users can control the amount of the product for the desired results.

Skin Benefits - A user found that their lashes felt conditioned after use which helped with their acne and the face's texture. Their skin also felt smoother and hydrated every time they used the product. Plus, it doesn't have a scent that can be beneficial to sensitive skin. Performance-wise, it was able to easily remove sunscreen and heavy-duty makeup.

Alternative/Comparison

  • Comparison vs DHC Cleansing Oil
  • Comparison vs DHC
  • Comparison vs Kose Speedy
  • Comparison vs Micellar Water
  • Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil
  • New Version
Alternatives - Hada Labo is quite good for removing waterproof mascara and sunscreen without irritating, and its Whitening Lotion (thick liquid) and Cream (lightweight gel) are also great moisturizers for summer; they are effective, inexpensive ($18), last long, lightweight, and are great for overall brightening.

Comparison vs DHC Cleansing Oil - Those who like double cleansing are also likely to like DHC Cleansing Oil, the cult-favorite oil cleanser. It's a go-to first cleanser at night, and there's no reason to switch until a favorite skincare and beauty brand carries an oil cleanser too.

DHC Cleansing Oil Comparison Double Cleansing Cult Favorite
Source
Comparison vs DHC - The Hada Labo glides on the skin with zero tugging, but it leaves a slight residue when washing off, while the DHC has a pungent olive oil scent and a richer, thicker consistency that doesn't easily glide on but rinses clean. You wouldn't want to worry about the leftover residue for sensitive skin, so DHC wins on that. Overall, both emulsify well and are equally good at breaking down sunscreen, so Hada Labo wins on non-sensitive days, and its refills are cheaper. Performance-wise, DHC does a better job removing makeup/sunscreen with less rubbing. At the same time, Hada Labo is mild and gentle enough to use on sensitive skin and has hydrating properties that benefit dry skin as well.
