2026 Olive Young Cleansing Must-Haves: How to Choose Between Cleansing Oil, Cleansing Mousse, and Cleansing Foam

bttr (비티티알)'s "Milk to Foam Cleanser" 150g is priced at 28,100 KRW on the brand's official site, bttr.co.kr (checked 2026-09-14), making it one of the few items on this list positioned as a "one step cleanser" using an amino acid mousse formula. The key factor in deciding whether you need a cleansing oil, cleansing balm, or cleansing foam really comes down to how heavy your makeup is that day: travelers who only wear sunscreen without heavy base makeup can save a step with a single mousse that removes both sunscreen and dirt at once, while travelers who need to remove waterproof mascara or heavy foundation should first emulsify with a cleansing oil or balm. Below, we've put the cleansing products available this round on Olive Young and the various brands' official sites into one table, comparing cleansing type, price, and core ingredients one by one.

bttr Milk to Foam Cleanser 150g 150g

This 150g mousse style cleanser is sold on the brand's official site at 28,100 KRW (checked 2026-09-14). The official site's JSON-LD data shows an average rating of 4.6 based on 692 cumulative reviews (checked the same day).

• Among its 44 full ingredients, it contains no sulfate based surfactants such as SLS or SLES, instead using amino acid based Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate along with coco/lauryl glucoside as its base, so it is less likely to feel tight with daily use.
• It contains 3 types of hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, and acetylated sodium hyaluronate) along with 6 types of ceramide (NP, AP, AS, NG, NS, EOP), leaving skin with a moisturized feel after washing.
• The official site states this product is designed as an "original one step cleanser," able to remove sunscreen and light makeup in a single step without needing to layer on a separate cleansing oil.
• The official site also sells a 25g mini size (priced at 6,000 KRW), so short trip travelers don't need to bring the full size bottle.

For travelers who don't want to split cleansing into two separate steps, makeup removal and face washing, at the hotel, the bttr Milk to Foam Cleanser 150g 150g is the most step saving option on this list, removing light makeup and sunscreen in one go. To order directly, check the brand's official product page for live stock status.

beplain Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam

The cleansing type listed in the comparison table is pH balanced cleansing foam. With a foam texture built on mung bean seed extract and mung bean seed powder, this is beplain's bestselling product establishing its position as a "national pH balanced cleanser" on Olive Young. The official page only states "pH balanced formula" without disclosing an actual pH value.

This product currently comes only in cleansing foam format, available in 80ml and 160ml sizes, neither of which comes in a cleansing oil or balm version. Travelers who want to remove base makeup in a single step will need to pair it separately with the brand's own cleansing oil product.

Ma:nyo Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil and ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil

Both products fall under the cleansing oil category. The difference shown in the comparison table lies in the headline extract: Ma:nyo (마녀공장)'s Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil is built on soybean oil, aimed at emulsifying and removing heavy base makeup; ANUA's Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil features houttuynia cordata (heartleaf) extract as its headline ingredient, aimed at controlling pore oil at the same time.

Neither brand's official product page discloses the full surfactant ratio, nor do they list independent irritation test data. Both products currently come only in a single 200ml size, with no mini travel size available.

If a cleansing oil is rinsed with water without being emulsified first, it can leave an oily film around the eyes. The correct method is to massage it into dry skin in circular motions until it turns milky white, then rinse with water. This step matters more than which bottle of cleansing oil you choose.

Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser

The cleansing type listed in the comparison table is pH balanced cleansing foam, aimed at maintaining a moisturized, non tight feeling after washing. It is the cleansing product within the 1025 Dokdo skincare line. The official page does not disclose a specific pH value, nor does it list any test results for makeup removal performance.

This is a cleansing foam, not a cleansing oil or balm, so it cannot remove waterproof base makeup or eye makeup on its own and must be paired with a makeup remover for complete cleansing. It currently comes only in a single 150ml size, with no mini travel size available.

Torriden Dive-in Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam

The cleansing type listed in the comparison table is pH balanced cleansing foam, featuring an 8 fold complex of low molecular hyaluronic acid along with panthenol and allantoin. It is the cleansing product within the Dive-in moisturizing line. The official page describes it as "moisturizing cleanser," not a "makeup removal" product; this is a cleansing foam, not a cleansing oil or balm, and contains no oil based ingredients capable of emulsifying and removing makeup.

Travelers who want to remove makeup in one step will need to pair it separately with Torriden's own cleansing oil or balm to complete double cleansing. It currently comes only in a single 150ml size, with no mini travel size available.
