Skin Type :

Environment :

🧼 DOKDO CLEANSING OIL

Experience :
I’ve used this for three consecutive nights, and wow, my pores look noticeably smaller and cleaner! I was initially skeptical because I wasn’t getting the “gritty” sebum pieces some people talk about online, but it still worked wonders.

Pros 


✔ Visibly minimizes and cleans out pores


 ✔ Emulsifies beautifully and rinses off easily, even before second cleansing


✔ No breakouts or irritation


 ✔ Leaves skin soft and fresh


✔ Marketed as fragrance-free, though it has a light essential oil scent (didn’t bother me)

Cons 

 ✘ Contains essential oils (may be a concern for sensitive skin

 ✘ Doesn’t give the "gritty" sebum-extraction feel if you’re expecting that

✅ Verdict : Definitely a new favorite! Will repurchase.

🧴 DOKDO CLEANSER

Experience :
I’ve only used it once (currently alternating with the Birch Cleanser), but it made a strong first impression. Super gentle, yet effective.

Pros

 ✔ Deep cleans without stripping skin


✔ Leaves skin feeling supple, not tight or dry


✔ Creamy texture with a satisfying foam 


✔ Great for sensitive or easily irritated skin

Cons

 ✘ None yet, but I’ll need to use it more to confirm long-term results

✅ Verdict : So far, so good. Definitely interested in using more.

Stay tuned for part 2 :)
