Questions and answers

How well does make p:rem Safe Me. Relief Moisture Cleansing Milk work for oily skin?

This cleanser works reasonably well for oily skin, helping manage oiliness and hydrate without causing irritation. Oily skin of this type needs cleansers with niacinamide and ceramides to control shine and support skin health.

International Journal of Dermatology, 2008Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for oily skin?

Betaine salicylate provides mild exfoliation to help manage oiliness, while glycerin and allantoin hydrate and soothe your oily skin. For an even better fit, oily skin needs cleansers with niacinamide and multiple ceramides to manage shine and support skin health.

What do Ceramides do for oily skin?

Ceramides help keep oily skin balanced by strengthening the skin barrier and locking in moisture without feeling heavy. They are unlikely to clog pores and may help calm irritation, making them a good fit if your skin is both oily and prone to breakouts.

International Journal of Dermatology, 2008Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024

What does Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid helps keep oily skin well-hydrated without feeling heavy, and it is unlikely to clog pores. This lightweight hydration may help balance skin and improve texture while keeping your skin calm and smooth.

Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This cleanser goes in your morning and evening routine as the cleansing step. Oily skin needs a cleanser that washes away oil and shine without harshness, along with light hydrators and mild exfoliants to keep pores clear.

Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cleanser with retinol by applying the cleanser first on damp skin, rinsing it off, and then following with your retinol treatment once your face is dry. Cleansers of this type for oily skin need to gently remove excess oil without stripping moisture, while keeping the skin calm.

How often should I use it?

You can use this cleanser twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. It gently cleans without stripping and helps manage oiliness, though oily skin ultimately needs a cleanser with stronger oil-controlling and clarifying ingredients.

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin, as it has a very safe profile with gentle ingredients that do not irritate. However, because it is an average fit, oily skin often does better with a cleanser that provides stronger oil control and lighter oils.

Can I use this cleanser around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this cleanser on your body and around the eyes, as its gentle ingredients ensure a safe experience for thin and delicate skin regions. Oily skin often needs lightweight cleansers with balancing ingredients like salicylic acid or gentle cleansing agents to manage shine without clogging pores.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Arachidyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, and behenyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
