If you’ve ever finished washing your face and thought, Why does my skin feel tight right now? it’s not necessarily your skin type – it’s often the cleanser. Traditional foaming washes and “squeaky clean” formulas can strip away the very oils your skin needs to stay calm, balanced, and resilient. This is especially true in winter, when cold air, indoor heat, and frequent cleansing put extra stress on the skin barrier. That’s where oil cleansing comes in.
From a K-beauty perspective, cleansing is never about stripping – it’s about preserving balance. Skin is treated as dynamic, constantly responding to environment and season, which is why gentler, more intentional cleansing becomes essential during colder months.
A Korean cleansing oil isn’t just a makeup remover, it’s skincare. And our newest glow-boosting essential, LAPCOS Radiant Rice Ferment Cleansing Oil, is designed to do exactly that: melt away makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup while leaving skin fresh, soft, and comfortably hydrated—never greasy, never stripped.
What Is an Oil-Based Cleanser?
It’s a face oil cleanser made to dissolve oil-based impurities—like sunscreen, sebum, and long-wear makeup, using gentle, skin-loving oils that work with your skin, not against it.
Here’s the K-beauty secret: oil dissolves oil. That means a deep cleansing oil can lift away grime without disrupting the skin barrier the way harsher cleansers can. Translation? Cleaner-feeling skin, smoother texture, and more glow with less dryness and irritation, making it especially ideal for winter skin care.
Oil Cleansing Benefits (Yes, Even If You’re Oily or Acne-Prone)
If you’ve avoided cleansing oils because you’re worried they’ll clog pores, you’re not alone. But the right oil cleanser can actually be one of the best facial cleansers for breakouts and congestion, because it removes the very buildup that leads to imbalance—without over-drying the skin. Some of the myriad benefits include:
-
Dissolves makeup + SPF without tugging or over-scrubbing
-
Helps lift excess sebum and daily buildup (hello, clearer-looking pores)
-
Supports a healthier moisture barrier (less tightness, less flaking)
-
Leaves skin feeling cushioned, balanced, and smooth—never squeaky
-
Creates the perfect clean canvas for serums, masks, and moisturizers
Meet LAPCOS Radiant Rice Ferment Cleansing Oil
Consider the cleansing routine, transformed. Radiant Rice Ferment Cleansing Oil is a next-generation Korean oil cleanser that goes beyond cleansing, actually treating skin while it rinses.It’s powered by a glow-forward trio:
-
Fermented Rice Filtrate to support a brighter, smoother-looking complexion

-
13-Layer Hyaluron Multi-Complex to flood skin with multi-depth hydration for that bouncy, comfortable finish
Lightweight, silky, and non-greasy, it’s designed to work across combination, oily, dry, acne prone, and sensitive skin types. Forget the double cleanse, this is a single, nourishing formula that leaves skin clean, hydrated, and luminous after every rinse.
The Best Oil Cleanser for Your Skin Type: Who It’s For
One of the biggest myths about oil cleansing is that it’s only for dry skin. Radiant Rice Ferment Cleansing Oil is designed to work beautifully across every skin type, balancing oily zones while keeping drier areas comfortable for combination skin, helping oily skin lift excess sebum without triggering rebound shine, and cleansing dry skin without stripping so it feels soft, not tight.
For acne-prone skin, it gently dissolves buildup without over-drying or relying on harsh surfactants, while sensitive skin benefits from a calmer cleanse that respects the skin barrier and minimizes irritation. In other words, if you want clean skin that still feels like skin, you’re in the right place.
