Brand note
Japanese drugstore staples for makeup longevity and gentle cleansing.
Kose is a Japanese brand that shows up in two distinct lanes: makeup finishing and oil cleansing. The Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil is the standout — a lightweight, no-fragrance oil that removes makeup and sunscreen fast without stinging eyes, and it's affordable with refill pouches available. On the makeup side, the MAKE KEEP MIST EX+ setting spray delivers a fine mist that locks in makeup and controls oil without feeling tight or drying, making it a solid pick for oily skin or long days. There's no real downside mentioned across the quotes, just functional praise for both products.
