Olive Young Cleansing Oils, Balms, Foams: Ma:nyo vs Anua
A side-by-side look at the Olive Young cleansing shelf heading into 2026, from Ma:nyo's award-winning oil to bttr's milk-to-foam formula, with prices, formats and key ingredients compared item by item.
Published
Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil sells for 15,500원 (200ml, Olive Young sale price checked 2026-09-14) and remains the retailer's top-listed oil cleanser, while bttr's [수분잠금] 하이드라 베리어 클렌징 336 밀크 투 폼 150g is priced at 28,100원 on bttr's official store as of the same check date. The deciding axis for shoppers browsing Olive Young's cleansing oils, balms and foam cleansers is how heavy the makeup is and whether skin feels tight after rinsing: an oil or balm handles waterproof makeup and sunscreen as a first cleanse, while a foam or milk-to-foam format works as the second step for people whose skin pulls tight by afternoon.
Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil
Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil, sold on Olive Young as the 200ml Pure Soybean Cleansing Oil, lists at 19,900원 and discounts to 15,500원 during the current sale window (2026-08-30 to 2026-10-31). The product shows a 4.7 rating across 11,572 reviews on the Olive Young listing, and a companion double-pack SKU titles itself \"4년연속1위\" (No. 1 for four consecutive years) on its own product page, a claim that comes from the seller's listing and is not verified by an independent leaderboard. The formula is soybean oil-based and sold in a standalone 200ml bottle or a 200ml x2 double-pack at 37,000원. As an oil-first cleanser it is designed for a first-cleanse step and pairs with a second, water-based cleanser for full removal of sunscreen and makeup residue. No certifier record or organic percentage is listed on the product's official pages.
Reviewers on Glowpick describe the oil's blackhead and whitehead removal as thorough, with less post-wash dryness than some competing oils, though the format still requires a second cleanse for shoppers who prefer a single-step routine.
bttr [수분잠금] 하이드라 베리어 클렌징 336 밀크 투 폼 150g
bttr's bttr [수분잠금] 하이드라 베리어 클렌징 336 밀크 투 폼 150g is priced at 28,100원 on the brand's official store (150g, checked 2026-09-14). The formula is a milk-to-foam, one-step cleanser built around three types of hyaluronic acid and six types of ceramide plus a proprietary blend the brand calls 세콜지, according to the product detail page, and it contains 44 listed ingredients including fragrance, so it should not be described as fragrance-free. The texture starts as a soft milk and converts to foam on contact with water, letting one product handle sunscreen and makeup removal without a separate oil-cleanse step.
bttr [수분잠금] 하이드라 베리어 클렌징 336 밀크 투 폼 150g suits anyone whose skin looks shiny by midday but pulls tight at the cheeks and mouth after a standard foam cleanser, since the hyaluronic acid and ceramide blend is formulated to leave less post-cleanse tightness than a stripping foam. The product has drawn one Glowpick review at a 4.5 rating, a small sample that should be read as an early signal rather than a settled verdict. A 25g mini size of the same formula, priced at 6,000원 on the official store, is also available for travel or trial use.
Because bttr's cleansing line is sold as a two-step pairing, the milk-to-foam product is also offered bundled with the brand's Balm to Milk Cleanser 110ml as a 336 수분 장벽 클렌징 듀오 at 51,000원, a limited-quantity set worth checking for stock before ordering.
Vanilla Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original
Vanilla Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original is sold on Olive Young in three volumes, a 25ml size badged \"1등 클렌징밤\" (No. 1 cleansing balm), a 100ml size, and a 180ml \"Big Size,\" alongside a 16-count travel kit. The current Korean retail INCI list leads with ethylhexyl palmitate, cetyl ethylhexanoate and PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, and the brand markets the formula's Acerola+ complex as pairing acerola berry with vitamin C. A standalone KRW price for the 100ml size was not available from the listings checked; the only confirmed KRW figure applied to a multi-item bundle, so it is left out here. Third-party watchdog sites note the brand overall has not obtained a vegan or cruelty-free certification, and animal-derived ingredients may appear in some SKUs within the wider Clean It Zero range.
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil vs. Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cleansing Oil
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil comes in a 200ml bottle formulated with Houttuynia cordata (heartleaf) extract, marketed at 10,000ppm concentration, and it is also sold bundled as the Heartleaf Double Cleansing Duo with a 150ml foam and a pore brush. Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cleansing Oil is the brand's 200ml peeling-format oil, formulated with Betula platyphylla japonica (birch) juice and hyaluronic acid capsules, distinct from Round Lab's separate 150ml water-based Birch Juice cleanser. Neither product's Korean retail price could be confirmed from the pages checked, so no figure is reported here. Both formulas position toward pore and sebum concerns instead of dry-skin comfort, and neither lists an organic or COSMOS certification record on either brand's official pages.
Beauty of Joseon Rice Water Bright Cleansing Balm
Beauty of Joseon Rice Water Bright Cleansing Balm is a 100ml balm-to-oil cleanser built on rice bran oil and rice seed water, with an INCI list that also includes lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract and oat meal extract per Beauty of Joseon's product page. Industry sourcing commentary describes the product as benefiting from the wider Beauty of Joseon brand following, positioned as a gentler daily alternative in a category where cleansing balms are gaining share from cleansing oils across Asia Pacific markets. A confirmed KRW retail price was not available from the pages checked, so none is reported. No certifier name, registration number or organic percentage was located on the official listing or on the retailer pages consulted.
