Hoygi Zero Pore Cleansing Oil — Deep Makeup Remover

Three things this oil does that most cleansers can't

• Dissolves waterproof makeup without the pore-clogging aftermath

  Lightweight soybean oil has a low comedogenic rating — it lifts stubborn pigment, sunscreen and sebum without depositing a film that settles into pores. The result: deep cleansing that genuinely doesn't clog.

• Cleans and improves skin in the same step

  Niacinamide isn't just a hydration ingredient — it actively strengthens the skin barrier, reduces the visibility of pores and helps even skin tone with regular evening use. Your cleanser rarely does this.

• Turns milky-clean on contact with water — no residue, no second cleanse

  Adding water transforms the oil into a light emulsion that rinses completely clear. No oily film, no tight feeling — just clean skin. At 120 ml with a measured pump dispenser, one bottle lasts approximately 240 days of daily use.

• 1 stepApply, massage, emulsify with water, rinse — complete in under 90 seconds

Four steps to completely clean skin

1. 1
   Start on a dry face

   Apply 2-3 pump presses directly to dry skin — no water yet. Water introduced too early prevents the oil from binding properly to makeup and sebum.

2. 2
   Massage for 60 seconds

   Work in circular motions across the face, focusing on areas with heavy makeup, blackhead-prone zones (nose, chin) and around the eyes. The oil dissolves pigment on contact.

3. 3
   Add water to emulsify

   Wet your fingertips and work back into the oil. It transforms into a milky white emulsion — this is the rinse activation step that ensures the oil (and everything dissolved in it) washes away completely.

4. 4
   Rinse thoroughly

   Splash with lukewarm water until the skin feels clean and non-tacky. Pat dry. Proceed with toner or serum — the barrier is intact and absorption will be optimal.

Why most cleansing oils fail you

The problem with stubborn makeup — and pore-clogging oils

Waterproof foundation, long-wear mascara and daily pollution don't yield to a gentle wipe. Most oil cleansers that work hard enough to remove them leave a film behind — one that settles into pores and turns the solution into a new problem. The tight, stripped feeling after some foaming alternatives isn't better either.

A formula built around zero compromise

Soybean oil — lightweight, linoleic-acid-rich — dissolves even waterproof pigments without the heavy residue of mineral or coconut oil bases. Niacinamide keeps the barrier intact and visibly minimises pore appearance over repeated use. Add water to activate the emulsifying step, and it rinses completely clean — no second cleanse required.

One step — skin that actually looks refreshed

Apply to a dry face, massage for 60 seconds, add water to emulsify into a milky rinse, and the day — all of it — comes off. What's left is skin that feels soft, looks bright, and is ready to absorb whatever serum or moisturiser comes next. Consistently, without the redness or tightness that signals a damaged barrier.

How skin changes with consistent evening cleansing

1. Days 1-7
   Immediately cleaner — visibly less congestion

   After the very first use, makeup — including waterproof formulas — removes completely in one step. Skin feels soft and non-tight. Within the first week, daily buildup stops accumulating in pores.

2. Weeks 2-4
   Blackheads begin to loosen

   Regular oil-dissolves-oil cleansing softens existing blackhead plugs. Combined with the massage step, pores begin to appear less blocked. Niacinamide starts reinforcing the skin barrier.

3. Weeks 5-8
   Pores visibly smaller — skin tone more even

   Niacinamide's cumulative effect becomes visible: pore size appears reduced, and skin tone begins to even out. Reviewers consistently report this result at the six-week mark.
