Update Monday, November 27, 2023.
So...I totally forgot about the Light version of this The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil. And now, five years later and I finally found it again upon tidying up my basket of cleansing oils. Oops. I opened it and tried some on the back of my hands. It smelled fine. No stale odor. It worked fine too, so I used it asap. Here's a quick review as I finished the bottle a couple of weeks ago.
Wow, and I thought the Rich version was runny and watery. This Light version was 10x worse. It was literally like water. I pumped out some into the palm of my hand, and it was so thin and runny it splashed and spilled everywhere. This was definitely not a user-friendly cleansing oil, because I couldn't even use it at home without wasting a bunch from spills, let alone traveling with it. And the thin and watery texture didn't help the oiliness at all. It was still a cleansing oil, through and through. I don't get it. The only okay thing about it was the scent--it had the same scent as the Rich version, but otherwise I definitely don't recommend this product. What a mess.

I'd mentioned that my queue for cleansing oils was down to a couple of bottles and that it was time to restock. What I didn't say was that I went a bit nutty and bought about two dozen bottles (oils) and jars (balms), so I think I'm set for the next few years ^.^"
This time around, I picked mostly US drugstore and Korean brands and went with only a few Japanese ones. Among the new items were these 150mL/5fl. oz. The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil in two formulas, Light (left bottle, pink font) and Rich (right bottle, dark red font). I'm reviewing the Rich one today.
