Chifure Washable Cold Cream

Most people don't. It rinses completely clean with water despite being an oil-based cleanser. If you prefer the squeaky-clean feeling or wear heavy makeup, you can follow with a foam cleanser, but it's not required.

Yes. The original cold cream method is to massage it in, wipe off with tissue, then use toner to remove residue. Chifure's washable formula lets you skip the tissue step and just rinse, but both methods work.

Both are classic Japanese cold creams at similar prices. Chifure is thicker and takes longer to emulsify into oil. Utena transforms faster. Chifure gives you 300g for around 770 yen, Utena gives 250g at a similar price point. Pick based on whether you prefer slower, more massage-friendly texture (Chifure) or faster application (Utena).
