Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSAvena Sativa (Oat) Seed Water 9.2%Proven
Extracted from Gunsan Korean oats that endure harsh winter conditions, this water is rich in moisturizing beta-glucans, soothing avenanthramides, and protective lipids that calm irritation and deliver deep hydration.
- Clinical: Colloidal oatmeal is an FDA-recognized active skin protectant with documented anti-inflammatory and barrier-repair benefits.
- Mechanism: Beta-glucan in oat forms a thin film on skin, providing moisture retention and reducing transepidermal water loss.
- Source: Gunsan region of South Korea, cold-extracted to preserve full bioactive profile.
Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour 2.1%Proven
Finely ground oat kernels in two particle sizes provide gentle physical exfoliation. The natural oat starches bind water while cellulose and fiber reduce inflammation, leaving skin softer and smoother.
- Clinical: 43.48% reduction in surface micro-exfoliation observed in Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences testing (32 adults, 2025).
- Benefit: Oat kernel flour contains avenacins with natural antifungal properties and saponins that assist in gentle cleansing.
Glycerin 1st listedProven
The primary ingredient in this formula, glycerin is one of the most effective humectants in skincare. It draws moisture from the environment into the skin, preventing the tight, stripped feeling common with exfoliating cleansers.
- Research: A 2016 study found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than both AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
- Safety: Naturally present in skin; extremely well-tolerated by all skin types including sensitive and eczema-prone.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate 2nd listedProven
An ultra-gentle coconut-derived surfactant known as "baby foam" in the cosmetics industry. Creates a satisfying lather without disrupting the skin barrier or stripping natural oils.
- Benefit: Leaves a soft, smooth after-feel on skin. Biodegradable and resistant to hard water.
- Safety: One of the mildest surfactants available; widely recommended for sensitive skin formulations.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5) High concentrationProven
Converts to vitamin B5 when absorbed into the skin. Strengthens the moisture barrier, improves water retention, and promotes skin regeneration. A key ingredient for maintaining hydration after exfoliation.
- Clinical: 12.93% reduction in transepidermal water loss demonstrated in clinical testing of this product.
- Mechanism: Penetrates the stratum corneum and binds water, providing both immediate and sustained hydration.
Kaolin (White Clay) SupportingProven
A naturally gentle white clay that gives this cleanser its unique clay-like texture. Absorbs excess oil and impurities from pores without over-drying, enabling the product's dual function as both a cleanser and a mask.
- Benefit: Draws out impurities while being mild enough for daily use on sensitive skin.
- Clinical: 99.46% improvement in cleansing pore impurities and 91.47% sunscreen removal rate in product testing.
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer TracePromising
A cross-linked form of hyaluronic acid that creates a moisture-retaining film on the skin's surface. Unlike standard HA, the crosspolymer provides longer-lasting hydration and smoother skin feel even in a rinse-off product.
- Advantage: More resistant to being rinsed away compared to regular sodium hyaluronate, so benefits persist after cleansing.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice) TraceProven
The anti-inflammatory salt derived from licorice root. Soothes redness and irritation, regulates sebum production, and offers mild brightening benefits by inhibiting melanin production.
- Research: Glycyrrhizin has documented anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and sebum-regulating properties.
- Benefit: Helps calm any potential irritation from the physical exfoliation, making the formula well-balanced.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse as your second cleanse in a double-cleansing routine (AM & PM). Can replace your regular water-based cleanser. For the mask function, apply before toner on clean, dry skin and leave for 10 minutes before adding water and rinsing.
How to use
HOW TO USEWet Your Face
Start with damp skin. If double cleansing, use your oil cleanser first to remove makeup and sunscreen, then proceed.
Apply & Lather
Squeeze a small amount (about a coin size) onto wet hands. Gently foam the product and apply to your face in circular motions.
Massage Gently
Let the fine oat particles do the work — massage lightly for 30–60 seconds, focusing on areas with texture, flakiness, or clogged pores. Avoid the eye area.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse with lukewarm water until all particles are removed. Pat dry gently with a soft towel and continue with your toner and skincare routine.
Mask Mode (Optional)
For extra care, apply a thick layer onto dry skin and leave on for 10 minutes as a hydrating clay mask. Then add lukewarm water, massage to exfoliate, and rinse off.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This cleanser is free from retinoids, salicylic acid (BHA), hydroquinone, and chemical sunscreen filters — the primary ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. All surfactants and active ingredients are gentle and pregnancy-compatible. However, as with any skincare product, consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist if you have specific concerns.
No. This product contains several potential malassezia triggers including Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Zea Mays (Corn) Germ Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Lactobacillus Ferment, and Squalane (source unconfirmed). If you are prone to fungal acne, consider alternatives like the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser or the Malezia Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser instead.
Yes, but with some consideration. Since this is a physical exfoliant, using it alongside strong chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA) in the same routine may cause over-exfoliation and irritation. If you use retinol or chemical exfoliants at night, consider using this cleanser in the morning only, or alternate days. Vitamin C is generally fine to use after this cleanser. If your skin is sensitive, start by using this cleanser every other day and build up frequency gradually.
This cleanser was specifically designed for sensitive and dry skin types. It excels at hydrating while exfoliating, making it ideal for anyone with flakiness, rough texture, or dehydrated skin. It also works well for combination and normal skin. Oily skin types can benefit from the kaolin clay, especially when used as a mask. It is clinically tested non-comedogenic, making it suitable for acne-prone skin (except fungal acne).
Many users notice smoother, more hydrated skin from the very first use. Within 1–2 weeks of daily use, you should see visible improvement in skin texture and brightness. Barrier-strengthening benefits from panthenol and oat seed water accumulate over 3–4 weeks. For best results on texture concerns, consistent daily use for at least one full skin cycle (28 days) is recommended.
Use this as your second cleanser (water-based cleanser step) in a double-cleansing routine. If you only single-cleanse, use it as your primary cleanser on damp skin. Apply after your oil cleanser and before toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. It can be used both morning and evening. For the mask function, apply to clean, dry skin before your toner step.
No. This product has been clinically tested and confirmed non-comedogenic by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences (2025 study, 32 adults). The overall comedogenic rating is 1/5, meaning it has a very low risk of clogging pores. In fact, clinical testing showed a 99.46% improvement in cleansing pore impurities, so it actively helps keep pores clear.
The recommended Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Store in a cool, dry place between 5–35°C and keep the cap tightly closed between uses. With daily use (about a coin-sized amount per wash), the 150ml tube typically lasts 2–3 months.
Verdict: The PURITO Oat In Gentle Exfoliating Face Cleanser is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a gentle, hydrating exfoliating cleanser — especially those with sensitive or dry skin. The glycerin-first formula combined with 9.2% Gunsan Oat Seed Water sets a new standard for cleansers that exfoliate without stripping. Clinical testing backs up the claims with impressive numbers on pore cleansing and barrier protection. The 2-in-1 mask function adds genuine versatility. The only notable drawbacks are its incompatibility with fungal acne-prone skin and the allergen risk for those sensitive to oats or almonds. For everyone else, this is one of the most thoughtfully formulated exfoliating cleansers in the K-beauty space.

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.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

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.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
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.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
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 «promises» 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

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

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.
