FAQ

  • Is this safe for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?

    Yes, our Foaming Oil Cleanser was clinically tested and shown to be safe for sensitive skin. It’s also safe for rosacea-prone skin and has been accepted by the National Rosacea Society. The formula is fragrance-free, non-stripping, and developed with barrier health in mind to cleanse thoroughly—yet gently.

  • Can this be used to remove eye makeup?

    Foaming Oil Cleanser hasn’t been specifically tested for makeup removal, but it does provide a thorough, gentle cleanse. If you’re using a more stubborn or water-resistant SPF, we recommend our Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser—it’s designed to be gentle on skin while effectively removing makeup and sunscreen.

  • Can I use this on my body?

    You can use it on your body—it's gentle, and body skin tends to be less sensitive than facial skin. That said, the cleanser was really designed (and tested) for the face, so while it won’t do any harm, it might not make the most sense. If you're looking for something for everyday body use, our Pre-Biotic Face + Body Foaming Oil Cleanser might be a better fit.

  • Is this good to use as the first step of a double cleanse routine?

    Yes, you can use the Foaming Oil Cleanser as the first step in a double cleanse, but it’s not totally necessary. Unlike traditional cleansing balms or oil cleansers, it has a lower oil content and rinses clean—so it won’t leave behind a residue that needs to be washed away. That said, if you enjoy double cleansing, it pairs well with our Ceramide + Ectoin Gentle Gel Cleanser and shouldn’t cause irritation when used together.

  • Is this safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

    Foaming Oil Cleanser has been reviewed and tested for safety on a panel of people who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. It does not include any ingredients known to be unsafe while pregnant or breastfeeding, but as with any new product, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider if you're concerned.

Reviews

Great cleanser, mediocre container

"Best cleanser I've ever used hands down. My skin feels calmer and the consistency of the cleanser is supremely rich. Almost feels like slime but in a very good way. My only complaint is they swapped from a really nice pump bottle that made dosing easy (2 pumps) to this cheap tube reminiscent of toothpaste."

— Prithvi (4/5)

Good

"I have used this for a couple years now and always loved it! But I got one of the new bottles recently. It’s a whole ounce less and far more liquidy than the previous formula. Definitely should lower the price a bit, I am a little disappointed. ."

— Nyomi (4/5)

Excellent cleanser! I love how

"Excellent cleanser! I love how effectively this cleans my skin and removes all makeup and sunscreen without drying me out. The formula lathers up nicely and rinses easily without leaving either a residue or that tight feeling. This cleanser works as well as other double cleansing routines I’ve tried in the past."

I am addicted‼️Your cleanser is

"I am addicted‼️Your cleanser is NOT cleansing your face and I have proof! ⬇️ I thought that tight, shiny skin after cleansing meant my face was squeaky clean. After some research, I learned that’s often a sign your skin barrier is being stripped and compromised. That’s what led me to Skinfix. I started with a sample size of the Barrier+ cream and saw such drastic results that I picked up a set with this cleanser—and that’s when I realized how much a quality cleanser mattered. From the first time I used it, this felt different. It’s thicker, a foaming oil hybrid that lathers into this cloud like foam that makes my skin feel soft while I am washing it. I could literally feel my waterproof mascara breaking down—no tugging, no second cleanse. My skin was never red after, never tight, and that weird shiny “plastic” look was gone immediately. I didn’t realize how good it actually was until I ran out. I pay attention to ingredients and so does this company - BIG TIME. The humectant blend of glycerin and ectoin is power house move. Ectoin is here to protect your skin from daily stress while glycerin focuses on pulling water into the skin for hydration. Adding red algae to help calm the skin while also hydrating is unique and effective. The heavy hitter is the coconut derived cleansers in an oil based cream and means nothing is left on your face. I order directly from the Skinfix website because they have an amazing loyalty program where I earn points that equal actual money off the next order, because of that I had to wait for shipping and use what cleanser I had in the meantime. I had a few well-known, “trusted” names left over, and did what I always do: cleanse in the shower- wipe with a cotton pad with Thayers lavender witch hazel to remove any left over soap residue, dirt, and make up. After using La Roche Posay, Tula, Clinique, FEEL, and Beauty Stat- my cotton pad came back dirty ➡️ EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I was shocked. I realized that prior to finding my Skinfix face wash I had been putting my skincare on top of skin that wasn’t fully clean. And that means that I was not getting the full effect of the skincare that I had invested my money on. I did the homework for you and I have included pictures to show the proof of what other cleansers are leaving on your skin after "cleansing". You are NOT getting the benefits of your skincare if your face is not clean! I cannot say this loud enough. Cleansing is step 1 and sets the skin up for the rest. Step 1 has to be effective to get results from the rest of the routine. At this point, I won’t EVER use anything else. Skinfix covers every step of my daily skincare routine and I own multiple products from this brand. There is absolutely nothing out here that matches the quality and results of this line. Results begin immediately- you will not have to wait months (I experienced noticeable changes in my skin immediately). If you’re debating the price, I’d honestly challenge you to do the same cotton pad test. The difference speaks for itself."

Q&A

is this non-comedogenic? I love the cleanser but want to make sure it won’t clog pores.
Hi Katie, Thank you for reaching out. Any product that washes off has no comedogenic issues. You should be able to use this without any concerns! Please reach out to info@skinfix.com if you have any other questions-we're here to help!
Your product has sodium benzoate in it, is there a concern about layering it with other skincare that has vitamin c in it? I know benzene is a carcinogen and can form when sodium benzoate is combined with vitamin c.
Hi Courtney, Though it is very unlikely to have this chemical reaction that will produce benzene when our product with Sodium benzoate is used with a Vitamin C Skincare product, but since we don't know the pH of the other companies products we cannot give an affirmative answer. We advise you to speak with your dermatologist/ healthcare practitioner before you combine such products. While reviewing the products, the acidity of the products should be considered. The reason why this is very unlikely for our products is because there are 3 common conditions required to promote this chemical reaction; acidic environment (usually pH below 3), elevated temperature and exposure to light. No product distributed by Skinfix has acidic pH; our products average pH is usually around pH 5. We hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions.
Is this generally pregnancy safe?
Thanks for reaching out! Our products are considered safe during pregnancy. However, some doctors suggest limited use of products with BHA's or AHA's (although most consider them safe). We would suggest checking with your doctor for their point of view on using products with BHA's and AHA's while pregnant and breast feeding. Our resurface+ and acne+ products do contain these actives for easy reference. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further inquiries! 💙
Will you remove the phenethyl alcohol? This cleanser looks great but I have reactive skin and am concerned by several mentions of people who got bad painful rashes. Looking at the ingredients for if that might be a risk for me, the phenethyl alcohol is a strong irritant and basically a scent masker/additive. It has only a secondary role with boosting preservatives, that seems like it could be achieved with a less irritating ingredient. I'd love to know if I should keep an eye out for an ingredient update that would make this a possible cleanser for me!
Hi there, Thank you for reaching out. The Phenethyl alcohol in our formula is 100% natural origin. It is used a preservative in one of the raw material. The final concentration in the formula is 0.005%, so it won’t have any drying effect on the skin. Moreover, barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser has been tested in a clinical study and showed a very good tolerance without any irritation. You should definitely give our formula a try. If it is not agreeable with your skin, we do offer a 30 day return when purchased directly from us. Please try a spot test when using a new product to ensure tolerability for your skin. We hope that helps! Thanks
Does the foaming oil cleanser remove mineral spf?
Hi Krishana, Thank you for reaching out. Our barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser does indeed take off dirt, make-up and even sunscreen without stripping the skin of vital lipids.
Is this cleanser good for dry rosacea skin?
Hi Niv, Thank you for your question. Our barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser is an amazing product for those with rosacea. In a 28 day dermatologist led clinical study using Foaming Oil Cleanser and Redness Recovery+ Antioxidant Tetrapeptide Soothing Treatment together: clinically proven to increase hydration, improve radiance and luminosity, reduce visible redness, blotchiness and the appearance of spider veins. We hope this helps!
