REDENS Green Grape Pore Scaling Cleansing Oil

What is this product?

A grape seed oil first cleansing oil built on plant oils and extracts, with capryloyl salicylic acid in the later half for a mild pore-focused angle. Fragrance and artemisia oil are present, so scent-sensitive users should take note.

What makes it different?

The formula leads with grape seed oil rather than a heavier mineral or olive-first base, followed by olive oil, centella oil and a series of plant oils and fruit extracts. Capryloyl salicylic acid, a lipid-friendly salicylic acid derivative, sits sixteenth of eighteen ingredients, so any exfoliating effect is likely mild in a rinse-off product. Artemisia oil and added fragrance mean the scent profile is deliberate rather than fragrance-free.
