Learn the correct oil cleansing method with Good Molecules Matcha Dual-Phase Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup, unclog pores, and prep skin for double cleansing.

Quick answer

Shake the bottle to blend both phases, apply to dry skin with gentle circular motions, then emulsify with water before rinsing for a deep yet gentle pore cleanse.

Why dual-phase matters for deep pore cleansing

Standard single-phase cleansing oils rely on one type of cleanser, which may struggle with waterproof makeup or heavy sunscreen. The dual-phase design separates plant-based cleansers from a glycerin phase infused with matcha tea extract. This means the oil phase targets long-wear pigments and excess sebum, while the water-friendly glycerin phase helps rinse away residue without leaving a greasy film. The result is a thorough clean that reaches deeper into pores without over-drying.

Who benefits most from this method

This technique works well for anyone who wears waterproof makeup, heavy sunscreen, or has combination to oily skin prone to clogged pores. The matcha antioxidant content also makes it suitable for those who want a gentle, non-stripping cleanse. If you have very dry or sensitive skin, you may still use it, but follow with a hydrating second cleanser to avoid tightness.

Step-by-step deep pore cleansing routine

Shake well before each use: Hold the bottle upright and shake vigorously for a few seconds until the two phases are fully blended into a milky consistency. Skipping this step means you only get one phase, reducing the oil's ability to dissolve both makeup and impurities. Always check that the liquid looks uniformly opaque before dispensing.
Apply to dry skin: Pump 2-3 drops into your palm and massage onto a completely dry face. Work in small circles for 30-60 seconds, focusing on areas with visible pores or stubborn makeup. Avoid adding water at this stage—water prematurely emulsifies the oil and prevents it from penetrating pores. If your skin feels tacky, you may need a second pump; if it slides too easily, you used too much.
Emulsify with lukewarm water: Wet your fingertips with lukewarm water and continue massaging. The oil will turn into a milky white lotion. This step traps dissolved oil, makeup, and debris so they rinse away cleanly. Rushing this step leaves a residue that can clog pores. Use lukewarm water—hot water strips natural moisture, while cold water won't emulsify properly.
Rinse thoroughly and follow with a second cleanser: Splash your face with lukewarm water until no milky residue remains. Pat dry gently with a clean towel. For a complete double cleansing routine, follow with a water-based cleanser suited to your skin type. This ensures any remaining traces of oil or impurities are removed. If you skip the second cleanse, you may still feel a slight film, especially if you have oily skin.
