Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil — Reddit Reviews
by Kose
Updated November 10, 2026
Mineral-oil cleansing oil melts waterproof makeup and softens dry skin; emulsification disappoints.
What the community says
A thick mineral-oil first cleanser that tackles waterproof makeup and heavy sunscreen without a tight after-feel. Dry or rosacea-prone users reach for it, though poor emulsification and occasional breakouts make thorough rinsing non-negotiable.
