The store stocks a wide array of K-Beauty products, both skincare and makeup, both viral and niche brands – it’s basically your go-to for the latest K-Beauty trends.
But with so much to choose from, how do we know what’s good and what’s even better?
As the first step of your skincare routine, you want to establish a solid foundation with a good cleanser. A mild yet refreshing cleanser that purifies and moisturizes at the same time would be perfect for this time of year, with summer around the corner and our skin growing sticky and oily – so let’s check out some Olive Young recommended must-buy cleansers.
Olive Young Must-Buy Cleanser #1: Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Soft Peeling Gel 100ml
This vegan cleanser features a mildly acidic, hypoallergenic formula that uses 100% organic betaine and plant-based surfactants. It’s rich in fermented black rice extract, which has very powerful antioxidant properties, and works with triple AHA complex to gently exfoliate and remove impurities from pores for a healthy skin barrier.
Olive Young Must-Buy Cleanser #2: Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam EX 200ml
Containing Sulwhasoo’s patented nourishing ingredients as well as birch, heartleaf and plum extracts, not only does this Sulwhasoo cleanser remove makeup residual impurities, but it also improves skin metabolism for cleaner, healthier skin inside and out. The formula is structured similarly to the skin and does not disturb the skin’s natural oil secretion, to prevent irritation.
Olive Young Must-Buy Cleanser #3: Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser 100ml
A good cleanser involves finding a balance between thorough cleansing and maintaining the skin's barrier health. This gentle, mildly acidic cleanser does both, and more – containing plum water and mung bean seed extract, it nourishes and softens old, dead skin cells for a complete cleanse while protecting your barrier. The saponin it contains promotes the production of moisturization, to keep your skin full and hydrated.
Olive Young Must-Buy Cleanser #4: Celimax Derma Nature Relief Madecica pH Balancing Foam Cleansing 150ml
This low-irritation hypoallergenic cleanser utilizes surfactants extracted from coconut oil. It lathers into soft, creamy foam that maintains your skin’s water-oil balance while cleansing gently, strengthening your skin barrier overall.
Olive Young Must-Buy Cleanser #5: Celimax Baking Soda Deep Pore Foam Cleansing 150ml
Baking soda, a versatile cleansing agent, absorbs sebum and impurities in pores and provides gentle yet deep cleansing. The formula also includes mineral-rich clay and centella asiatica extract to soothe sensitive skin and protect your skin barrier.
Olive Young Must-Buy Cleanser #6: AROMATICA Glow Vita Facial Scrub Orange & Neroli 150ml

Rich in skin-brightening ingredients like natural vitamin C as well as cleansing ingredients to exfoliate, remove impurities, and brighten chronic dark skin at the same time. The mildly acidic formula minimizes irritation and is hypoallergenic.
What is ginger water? Compared to regular purified water commonly used in cosmetics, ginger water has extra anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. This vegan cleanser contains 31.7% patented ginger water as well as 8 kinds of natural extracts and 5 types of hyaluronic acid, and can cleanse and hydrate at the same time. It also soothes irritation and improves sensitive skin.
A cleansing foam enriched with vitamin C from green tangerines, this cleanser lathers into a rich soft foam that removes skin impurities thoroughly yet gently. Niacinamide and arbutin in the mix provide additional brightening effects.
