Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil — Reddit Reviews
by Kose
Updated October 3, 2026
Mineral-oil cleansing oil that melts waterproof makeup; rinses clean and double-cleanses well.
What the community says
A mineral-oil first cleanse with rice bran oil, olive oil, and squalane that people use before a second cleanser. It suits dry, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin; the main gripe is fragrance and occasional thickness, especially if you’re very sensitive.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Orange peel oil can sting sensitive or rosacea-prone skin
- Thicker than the Speedy version and emulsifies more slowly
- Can be too much if your skin is very stripped already
