I don’t know if it’s cruelty free, but I’ve heard the hadalabo gokujun cleansing oil is a good DHC dupe! I’ve used it in the past, but I don’t remember if I also tried the DHC so I can’t speak for how similar they are.

[@elonmusk921]

Its also $10 to $15 online :)

[@ag5495]

🙋🏻‍♀️ okay so I JUST JUST got the hadalabo one in the mail and I tried it like 5 mins ago. Its lightweight. Thts the first thing that struck me. The DHC was my previous oil and was a bit thicker. It was ok though but I think I might personally prefer a thicker oil. I didn’t like runnyness. But i won’t give it away yet. Hope this helps someone.

[@violetclaire6608]

I’ve tried the DHC and the Peach & Lily and I don’t think they do a great job of removing makeup. I know I do use products that can be hard to remove, but both of those specifically barely make a dent. They’re sadly not cruelty free, but I haven’t found a pre-cleanser remover better than the Banila Zero balm. The Muji oil is also pretty good, not sure if cruelty free.

That's more expensive than the other one. Who the hell spends $30 on a b..... cleanser

[@carolsilva330]

I live in Brazil and the biossance cleasing oil is R$229. Beauty of Joseon is R$120. The most affordable one comes in R$ 49-60, but the amount is like 100 ml, it's not a good deal. I used bioré and hada labo, they're R$60 - 80 (if you buy the refil or get a good sale), but bioré makes my skin irritated. I spent R$170 on a cleasing balm by the body shop, I absolutely LOVE IT. PS.: Our minimal wage is like R$1.320 and most people don't get it (if you live in a small city), people tend to use micellar water, I personaly don't like it.

[@brokenprincessofhell4743]

Righhhttt, that's so fucking expensive, damn. I'm not gonna spend more than 15$ on some cleanser. Beauty of joseon would be the only one I'd take from those, but I can't buy any of those easily anyway. I don't wanna order everything, shipping costs are high and it's bad for the environment too. So yea, I stick to the ones I can get in my city in local stores. Like the oat cleansing balm by the inkey list or the oil to foam cleanser by hey or just some local brand that goes for 5 bucks. 30 or 50 dollars seems so wild to me. Who the hell has that money to spend on something that just goes down the drain??

[@stephie8978]

Really? How do you use it ?

[@nabilatanzim]

@@stephie8978 slather it in my hand then rub it in my face 💀 I am not recommending it to anyone. If you can buy an actual cleansing oil or balm, go for it, that's definitely a better option. ✨ Specifically for me, I wash it off right away, so I don't think it harms my skin in such short period of time, so I keep using olive oil 🌚 hope this makes sense. (Even cassandra also said it’s fine in one of her videos)

[@honigigel39]

​@@nabilatanzimI mean i use the dhc cleansing oil and tbh it feels and smells just like olive oil... because the first ingredient is olive oil. So I don't think pure olive oil would be harming your skin. It may not have all the benefits a cleansing oil has but not any more negatives than the cleansing oil either.

[@nabilatanzim]

@@honigigel39 Yeah, it does the job.

[@crying2emoji5]

Last Christmas I went over to my in-laws and I forgot my whole bag of skincare. All I had to clean and moisturize my face was an old, greasy bottle of olive oil (my brother in law is a simple man). It did indeed work

DHC is actually a cruelty free brand manufacturing wise in the US or in Japan, BUT if you are a company wanting to sell your product in China, they undergo animal testing, unfortunately. anything for Chinese public consumption will be tested on animals, but if the product is just made in China but not for China consumption, then no testing is needed.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. (The brand isn't vegan, but it is cruelty free.) Don't shake it! It's meant to be separated. Stick a cotton swab all the way in to the "pink stuff" (which is calamine lotion) and apply it to the pimple at night. It should be significantly smaller by the next day. Acne patches are really useful too. I use the Hero brand, but there are SO MANY different types.

[@MrSteveGrey]

".. the DHC affiliate operating in China is required to perform a certain amount of animal testing on some of the products offered in that country to comply with local laws.” This is true of EVERY beauty company.

How do you check about cruelty free? Do you go to Japan laboratory to see? I don't think any company allow anybody enter their lab. Also, to paste stickers "cruelty free" is so easy. Bottom line of business is money.

[@Kristine_202]

Leaping Bunny is a good place to start. Products sold in China are required to test, so a good rule of thumb is that if it's sold in China, it's not CF. But not everyone sells in China. More and more companies are going cruelty free. I know Cover Girl just joined the club a few years ago, and that was huge.
