If you have ever watched a K-pop idol's "get ready with me" or night-routine video, you have probably seen the same first step again and again: an oil cleanser to melt off stage makeup and sunscreen before anything else touches the skin. Round Lab, the Korean skincare brand best known for its gentle, minimal formulas, has its own take on that step in the Pine Cica line. Here is what we can tell you about the Pine Cica Deep Pore Cleansing Oil, based only on what Round Lab publishes about it.
What Round Lab says about it
According to Round Lab, the Pine Cica Deep Pore Cleansing Oil is a gentle yet effective cleansing oil designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and pore impurities while keeping the skin feeling comfortable. The brand says it is infused with its Pine Cica Activer™ complex along with other nourishing ingredients.
- Size: 200ml bottle
- Line: Pine Cica, which Round Lab positions as its calming line
- Job: first-step cleanser for makeup, sunscreen and pore impurities
- Price: listed at $17.50 on Round Lab's US store at the time of writing
Round Lab's product page does not give us a full ingredient list in the information we collected, so if you avoid specific oils or fragrance, read the complete INCI list on the brand page before ordering.
Where it fits in a routine
A cleansing oil belongs at the very start of your evening routine, and it is the first half of what K-beauty fans call a "double cleanse":
- Oil cleanse on dry skin to loosen makeup and sunscreen (this product)
- Water-based cleanser to wash away the oil and what it lifted
- Toner
- Serum or essence
- Cream
- Sunscreen in the morning only
Follow the directions on Round Lab's product page for exact use. As a general rule for oil cleansers, you apply to dry hands and a dry face, massage gently, then add a little water to emulsify before rinsing. Keep it away from the eyes unless the brand says it is suitable as an eye-makeup remover.
Who it might suit
Based on how Round Lab describes it, this is aimed at people who wear makeup or daily sunscreen and want a first cleanse that does not leave skin feeling stripped. Because it sits in the Pine Cica line, which Round Lab describes as calming, it may interest readers who already like that line's toner or cream and want a matching cleanser. Concert-goers who wear long-lasting glitter or waterproof makeup for a show night may also want an oil step in their kit, though we cannot say how this specific oil performs on heavy waterproof products.
What to check before you buy
- Patch test: try a small amount on your jaw or inner arm first, especially if you have sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
- Ingredients: check the full ingredient list on the brand page for anything you personally avoid.
- Shipping: the price above is from Round Lab's US store. Check whether it ships to your country, the delivery cost, and the current price before you check out.
- Second cleanser: if you do not already own a gentle water-based cleanser, budget for one to complete the double cleanse.
Our take
On paper, the Pine Cica Deep Pore Cleansing Oil is a straightforward first-step cleanser: a 200ml bottle at a mid-range price, built around Round Lab's calming Pine Cica line and aimed at removing makeup, sunscreen and pore impurities without discomfort. We have not tried it, so we cannot comment on texture or how cleanly it rinses. If you are building a K-beauty night routine from scratch, or you already use other Pine Cica products, it is a sensible one to look at. Read the full ingredient list and the brand's directions first.
