If you've been scrolling through skincare content lately, you've probably noticed one thing: double cleansing is everywhere — and for good reason.
The Korean two-step cleanse starts with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum, followed by a foam or gel cleanser to deep-clean pores without stripping your skin. The result? Skin that's genuinely clean, not just surface-clean.
Here are 5 Korean cleansers from the KASHOP collection that Australians are reaching for right now.
If there's one oil cleanser worth knowing about, it's this one. The Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil has surpassed 20 million sales worldwide and won the 2025 Allure Beauty Award for Best Oil Cleanser — and once you try it, you'll understand why.
Formulated with 14 plant-based oils including argan, jojoba, rice bran, and hazelnut, it melts makeup and impurities away on contact, then transforms into a milky emulsion when water is added. It rinses completely clean with no greasy residue — leaving skin soft, balanced, and hydrated.
✦ Removes 99.74% of pollution and dust (independently tested)
✦ Suitable for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone
✦ No parabens, no mineral oil, no artificial fragrance
✦ Perfect Step 1 in your double cleanse routine
Rice water has been a staple in Korean beauty rituals for centuries — and right now, it's one of the most searched skincare trends in Australia.
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil harnesses the brightening and skin-softening power of rice bran extract for a gentle yet effective first cleanse. It dissolves makeup and sunscreen effortlessly, and with regular use, leaves skin noticeably more luminous.
Lightweight enough for Australia's humid summers, nourishing enough for dry winter skin — this one works year-round.
✦ Rice bran extract for brightening and gentle daily exfoliation
✦ Melts away even waterproof makeup
✦ Rinses clean without heavy residue
✦ From one of Korea's most trusted skincare brands
Two of K-beauty's most powerful ingredients. One cleanser.
The 4PM Galactomyces Niacinamide Gel Cleanser combines Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate — a fermented yeast extract rich in vitamins and amino acids — with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to deeply cleanse while actively brightening, refining pores, and strengthening your skin barrier.
Critically, this is a low pH cleanser, which means it cleans without disrupting your skin's natural acid mantle — the invisible barrier that protects you from breakouts and irritation. Most standard cleansers skip this. This one doesn't.
✦ Low pH formula — protects your skin barrier
✦ Galactomyces + Niacinamide for glow, clarity and pore care
✦ No fragrance, no alcohol, no sulphates, no parabens
✦ Safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin
✦ Currently 20% off at KASHOP
For skin that breaks out easily, a gentle daily cleanser isn't always enough — you need one that actively works to calm inflammation and prevent congestion from building up in the first place.
Mediheal — the brand behind over 1 billion sheet masks sold worldwide — brings the same targeted, results-focused approach to this tea tree foam cleanser. Tea tree extract is a clinically recognised antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient, and here it's delivered in a gentle, low-foaming formula that purifies pores without leaving skin tight or stripped.
✦ Tea tree extract — antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
✦ Calms redness and congested pores
✦ Gentle foam, rinses clean without dryness
✦ Ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types
This one is a little different — and that's exactly what makes it special.
The Millford AC Bubbly Bubbly Wash-Off Pack is a carbonated bubble cleanser that works as both a deep-pore cleansing treatment and a wash-off mask. When applied to the skin, the formula self-activates into a dense foam of micro-bubbles that penetrate deep into pores, lifting out excess sebum, dead skin cells, and impurities that regular cleansers miss.
The result after just a few minutes? Visibly cleaner, smoother, more refined skin. It's the kind of treatment your skin notices straight away.
A standout in the Millford AC line — formulated specifically for congested and acne-prone skin, and one of our personal favourites in the KASHOP collection.
✦ Carbonated micro-bubble technology — deep pore cleansing
✦ Doubles as a clarifying wash-off mask
✦ Targets congestion, excess oil, and enlarged pores
✦ Ideal weekly treatment for all skin types
