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.

Overall rating: 4.8280168 / 5 from 721 reviews.

Reviews

Bottle redesign leaks and contains 1oz less

"This is my favorite skin cleanser. I have been a loyal buyer for almost a year. However, after the packaging redesign, I notice that in addition to the product amount being reduced from 6oz to 5oz (shrinkflation?), the new flip-top cap allows the product to leak from the tube into the inside of the cap. Regardless of whether the bottle is stored upright or on its side, it will ooze into the cap and make a mess when you open it. Disappointed with this change and hope to see some improvements with the bottle design to address this issue."

— Jonathan (2/5)

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)

Liquidy new formula

"So sad this amazing product has been reformulated. The new packaging is annoying but the updated formula is liquidy and doesn’t feel as if it deeply cleanses anymore. Please bring back the old formula, I can’t continue using this one!"

— Kylie (1/5)

It truly hydrates your skin

"It truly hydrates your skin ! After I wash my face With skin fix cleanser it leaves my skin so hydrated. Love it :hands_heart_medium_skin_tone:"

— Norma V. (5/5)

Literally the best cleanser I’ve

"Literally the best cleanser I’ve used. I’ve been using this for over 3 years and has been so great for my skin. I have very very sensitive skin with eczema and rosacea and this has been the best for both."

— Maree G. (5/5)

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)

My favorite cleanser by far.

"My favorite cleanser by far. Soft and silky foam. Leaves my skin clean and hydrated and soft. Absolutely LOVE it and recommend it to everyone I know"

— Julie P. (5/5)

New packaging is a mistake.

"This rebranding for cleansers is definitely NOT exciting. Why do company's continue to change a good product?? This new bottle is terrible đŸ˜«. Please listen to your consumers! For now, I guess ill keep my old pump bottle and dump the product into it."

— Katy (3/5)

Why Change

"I have been a loyal Skinfix cleanser customer for years after my dermatologist recommended the brand. This cleanser became a staple in my routine because it worked beautifully with my sensitive skin. I am extremely disappointed to see the original pump packaging replaced. The pump was functional, hygienic, and made it easy to use the right amount of product. The new packaging feels like a downgrade, especially with less product for the same price. After seeing the reviews on Sephora, I know I’m not the only longtime customer frustrated by this change. I hope Skinfix listens to the customers who supported this product for years, because sometimes the small details are what make a product worth repurchasing."

— Catheryn G. (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."

— Lauren P. (5/5)

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!
