๐ Where It Fits in Your Routine

๐ How to Use
Apply to Dry Skin
Dispense 1-2 pumps of the oil cleanser onto clean, dry hands. Apply directly to a dry face โ water will reduce effectiveness at this stage.
Massage Gently
Using circular motions, massage the oil over your entire face for 30-60 seconds. Focus on areas with heavy makeup, sunscreen buildup, or congested pores. The oil will dissolve impurities on contact.
Emulsify with Water
Wet your hands with lukewarm water and continue massaging. The oil will turn milky white as it emulsifies, lifting away dissolved impurities.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse off completely with lukewarm water. No greasy residue should remain. Follow with your water-based cleanser for a complete double cleanse.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This oil cleanser is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain any of the commonly flagged ingredients โ no retinoids, no salicylic acid, no hydroquinone, no chemical sunscreen filters, and no high-risk essential oils. The formula is fragrance-free and relies on gentle botanical extracts. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
No, this product is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that may feed Malassezia yeast, including Polyglyceryl-5 Dioleate, Polyglyceryl-5 Oleate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Grapeseed Oil. However, because this is a rinse-off product that stays on skin briefly, the risk is lower compared to leave-on products. If you have active fungal acne, consider an MCT-oil-based or FA-safe alternative.
Yes, absolutely. As a first-step oil cleanser that is fully rinsed off, it does not interact with or reduce the effectiveness of any active ingredients. In fact, proper double cleansing ensures a clean canvas for your actives to penetrate better. Use this cleanser first, follow with your water-based cleanser, then apply your retinol, vitamin C, AHA, or BHA as directed.
This cleanser is formulated for all skin types and works especially well for combination and oily skin thanks to its lightweight texture and clean-rinsing formula. Dry skin types will appreciate the glycerin and sorbitol that prevent stripping, while sensitive skin benefits from the fragrance-free, alcohol-free formula with soothing centella and chamomile. Acne-prone skin can use it safely (comedogenic rating 1/5), though those with fungal acne should seek alternatives.
You'll notice immediate results from day one โ skin feels cleaner and more refreshed after every use. Within 1-2 weeks of consistent daily use, many users report reduced pore congestion and fewer blackheads. By week 3-4, the antioxidant-rich botanical blend may contribute to a brighter, more even complexion. Full benefits from the routine, including fewer breakouts and healthier skin barrier, typically appear after 2-3 months of regular double cleansing.
This is always the first step in your PM skincare routine as part of the Korean double-cleansing method. Apply it to dry skin to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and oil-based impurities. Rinse off, then follow with a water-based cleanser (like Peach & Lily Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser) as step two. After double cleansing, continue with toner, serum, moisturizer, and (in the AM only) sunscreen. Can also be used in the morning for extra cleansing if desired.
This cleanser has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, meaning it is very unlikely to clog pores. The primary oils โ sunflower seed oil (comedogenic rating 0) and grapeseed oil (rating 1) โ are among the safest for acne-prone skin. Additionally, because this is a rinse-off product that's fully washed away, any residual pore-clogging risk is minimal compared to leave-on formulas. Many users with acne-prone skin report it actually helps unclog pores by dissolving sebum plugs.
The product has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. With daily use of 1-2 pumps, the standard 150ml (5.07 fl oz) bottle typically lasts approximately 2-3 months. For extended use, the jumbo 300ml (10.14 fl oz) size is available at Ulta for $59 and offers better per-ml value. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the pump cap closed to maximize shelf life.
Verdict: The Peach & Lily Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser is a well-formulated, gentle K-beauty oil cleanser that excels at removing everyday makeup and sunscreen without leaving residue. Its antioxidant-rich blend of ginger root, centella asiatica, and nourishing plant oils goes beyond basic cleansing to deliver real skincare benefits. The clean, fragrance-free formula makes it suitable for sensitive and pregnant skin. While the price is higher than budget alternatives and it's not fungal acne safe, its elegant texture, botanical ingredients, and zero-residue finish make it a strong choice for anyone building a thorough double-cleansing routine. Best for combination, oily, and normal skin types seeking a premium first-step cleanser.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging ยซpromisesยป it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
