A weak match for oily skin; the cleansers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate cleansing for your oily skin due to paraffinum liquidum mineral oil and peg-75 lanolin, which help remove impurities but do not specifically manage oily shine.
- The presence of chamomile oil provides soothing benefits, while eucalyptus and clove oils offer a cleansing effect suitable for your skin type.
- The formula is safe for your oily skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and includes soothing components like Chamomilla Recutita Oil Flower Matricaria Oil Flower.

## What the research says

- Repeated application of concentrated water-in-oil emulsions over four weeks caused no skin irritation, positively affected skin properties, and delivered almost 50% of the applied fluorescein sodium, with isopropyl myristate showing superior penetration performance compared to liquid paraffin in healthy volunteers. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31525444/))
- Daily application of 3% German chamomile oil for 4 weeks significantly reduced serum IgE levels, serum histamine levels, and scratching frequency in DNCB-sensitized mice compared with control groups. ([Journal of Veterinary Science, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20195063/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Eve Lom Cleanser a weak match for oily skin?

Eve Lom Cleanser is a weak match because, while it cleans and soothes with chamomile oil, its heavy oils and butters do not manage oily shine. Cleansers for oily skin need effective ingredients that target oiliness and impurities while maintaining a clear complexion without excess greasiness.

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for oily skin?

Paraffinum liquidum mineral oil and cacao seed butter make this a weak match because they do not manage oily shine. A cleanser for oily skin needs ingredients that promote a clear complexion, balance moisture without extra greasiness, and help control oil.

### What does Mineral Oil do for oily skin?

Mineral oil sits on top of the skin to lock in moisture, which may feel too heavy or greasy if you already have oily skin. This type of skin needs lightweight ingredients that help control shine and balance oil production.

### What does Cocoa Butter do for oily skin?

Cocoa butter is likely to clog pores and trigger breakouts on oily skin, as it has a high tendency to form comedones. For an average fit on oily skin, a product of this type needs non-clogging ingredients that balance oil without heavy, greasy oils.

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This cleanser goes in the morning and evening routine for oily skin, as well as the weekly routine. Because oily skin needs a cleanser with ingredients that help manage excess shine and clear pores, a product of this type for this skin needs oil-controlling and clarifying ingredients.

### Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

This cleanser is a weak match for your oily skin because it offers moderate cleansing but does not manage oily shine. A cleanser for this skin needs oil-controlling and pore-clarifying ingredients to manage excess oil.

### How often should I use it?

This cleanser is a weak match for your oily skin because it offers only moderate cleansing without managing oily shine. To properly care for oily skin, a cleanser of this type needs lightweight purifying ingredients that help control excess oil and clear impurities without feeling heavy.

### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to cause major breakouts for oily skin since it avoids harsh ingredients and features soothing chamomile oil. However, a product for oily skin ideally needs ingredients that control excess oil and lightweight hydrators to keep pores clear without feeling heavy.

### Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this cleanser on the body, as its gentle formula is safe and well-tolerated on various skin regions, though oily skin on the body and around the eyes still needs ingredients that specifically help clear excess oil and impurities.

### Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (eugenol and limonene). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
