Citrus LHA Cleansing Oil — Gentle, Pore-Refining Double Cleanse
The Cleansing Oil That Actually Clears Your Pores
Citrus-infused, LHA-powered, and light enough to rinse clean — the West&Month Snow Aqua 0 dissolves makeup, lifts blackheads, and leaves skin hydrated. Not tight. Not greasy. Just clear.
Three Reasons This Cleanser Performs
Each feature solves a specific failure point of ordinary cleansing oils — backed by the formula, not just the packaging.
Pore-Level Purification
Lipo-hydroxy acid (LHA) works at the surface of pores to loosen compacted sebum and blackhead plugs — the same congestion regular cleansers simply wash over. One pump, massaged in circular motions, and the oil does the chemistry for you.
Refreshing Without the Sting
Citrus (lemon) extract delivers a light brightening action and the kind of clean scent that makes a nighttime routine feel like a ritual. Chamomile and daisy extracts calm any post-day inflammation. Together they keep the formula feeling fresh, never sharp.
Hydrates While It Cleanses
Most oils strip as they clean. The Snow Aqua 0 formula forms a moisture seal during the double-cleanse step, so skin emerges hydrated rather than taut. No extra serum required to counteract the cleanse — your barrier stays intact.
What Buyers Say About the Cleanse
From first-time double cleansers to K-beauty regulars — honest takes from people who have used it.
I was skeptical about cleansing oils because of the greasy-skin-after thing. This one actually rinses completely clean. My pores look smaller after two weeks.
The citrus scent is subtle and not overwhelming — actually smells like a real lemon, not a synthetic fragrance. Packaging is genuinely beautiful for the price.
I use it as the first step of my double cleanse and my skin has never felt so balanced. Not tight, not oily — just clean.
Removed a full face of foundation, concealer, and waterproof mascara in one massage. Didn't need to scrub or repeat — that's impressive for a gentle formula.
My skin tends to break out with heavy oils. This one didn't cause a single breakout in a month of nightly use. The LHA probably helps keep pores clear.
The frosted glass bottle looks incredible on my bathroom shelf. I know that's not the main point, but it makes the routine feel luxurious at an accessible price.
Blackheads on my nose have visibly reduced after three weeks of consistent use. I wasn't expecting that from a cleansing oil alone.
Emulsifies really well — turns milky white the moment water touches it, which is the best sign you're actually rinsing the oil off properly. Good science behind it.
I used to skip cleansing oil because my skin felt greasy afterwards. Now it's the step I look forward to most. Skin feels genuinely refreshed, not stripped.
How to Double Cleanse for the Best Results
The double-cleanse technique takes under three minutes and makes the difference between surface-clean and pore-clean.
Start on Dry Skin
Dispense 1-2 pumps onto dry hands. Press palms together briefly to warm the oil, then apply directly to a dry face — no water yet. This is critical: water prevents the oil from bonding with makeup and sebum.
Massage in Circular Motions
Work the oil across the face using gentle circular motions for 60 seconds. Focus on the nose (blackhead zone), chin, and any areas with heavy makeup coverage. You will feel the texture changing as it dissolves the day's buildup.
Emulsify with Water
Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and continue massaging. The oil turns milky white — this is the emulsification step that lifts the dissolved impurities off the skin surface and prepares them to rinse clean.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the emulsified formula off completely with lukewarm water. No film should remain. Pat skin dry with a clean towel — skin should feel clean, soft, and hydrated, not tight.
Follow with Your Second Cleanse (Optional)
For a true double cleanse, follow with a gentle water-based cleanser to remove any remaining traces. This step is particularly recommended if you wear heavy SPF or full-coverage foundation daily.
What the Formula Delivers
Claims you can feel from the first pump — grounded in the formula, not marketing language.

Week by week — what actually changes
Realistic milestones based on daily evening use as a first cleanse step.
Makeup disappears in one pass
From the very first application, full-coverage foundation, waterproof mascara, and SPF emulsify and rinse away cleanly. The jaw no longer feels faintly sticky after washing. This part is immediate.
Skin stops feeling tight after cleansing
As the Snow Aqua moisture complex begins accumulating effect, the characteristic post-wash tightness fades. Some users notice their face feels unusually soft — the barrier is being preserved rather than stripped each evening.
Pores begin to quiet down
The LHA toning action starts to show visible results. Existing blackheads reduce in prominence and new ones form less readily. The nose and chin — typically the highest-congestion zones — begin to look more refined in natural light.
The routine becomes invisible — in a good way
By six weeks, the results have stabilised into maintenance mode. Less daytime oil, fewer breakouts at the chin, and skin that photographs better because the texture has genuinely improved — not because of filter or concealer.
Everything That Arrives With Your Order
Minimal packaging, maximum care — exactly what you need, nothing superfluous.
Why Most Cleansing Oils Fall Short
A cleanse should be the easiest step. Too often it's the most frustrating — film left behind, pores still clogged, skin tight or broken out. This is the problem West&Month set out to fix.
The Greasy Residue Problem
Standard cleansing oils emulsify poorly, leaving a film that traps the day's impurities rather than lifting them. Pores stay congested. Skin feels heavy. And the breakout cycle restarts before you've even reached for your moisturiser.
Snow Aqua 0 LHA Technology
The Snow Aqua 0 formula pairs a lipo-hydroxy acid (LHA) with citrus and botanical extracts to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and oxidised sebum at the pore level — then emulsify to a milky rinse with water. No scrubbing. No residue. No compromise on hydration.
Clear, Hydrated, Every Evening
After the double cleanse, skin tests visibly clearer — pores refined, complexion balanced, moisture locked in rather than stripped away. The kind of fresh that used to require a full routine to achieve.
