Brand note

Japanese drugstore skincare that punches above its price point.

Kose is a Japanese brand that shows up most often for its Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil, a lightweight, no-fuss oil cleanser that creators consistently call their go-to for breaking down sunscreen and makeup quickly without stinging eyes. It's affordable, refillable, and gets the job done without any fragrance or heavy feel. The brand also has a setting spray that oily-skinned users find genuinely helpful for oil control, but the cleansing oil is the real anchor here.
