This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with acne-prone skin: breakouts, blackheads, and post-acne marks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for acne-prone skin; the pre-cleansers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate makeup removal for your combination skin due to mineral oil and isododecane, which effectively dissolve oil-based impurities but may not fully address oiliness concerns.
- While providing general cleansing benefits, the formula lacks specialized ingredients to target your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The safety profile is good, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

## Key ingredients

Mineral Oil, Peg-12 Laurate, Isododecane, Decyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Oleate

## 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/))
- Liquid crystalline systems based on glyceryl monooleate and penetration enhancers significantly reduced inflammation in an aerosil-induced rat paw edema model compared to untreated controls. ([Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29108729/))

## Why other pre-cleansers fit acne-prone skin better

- Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/))

## What reviewers say

This oil cleanser is highly regarded for its exceptional ability to remove waterproof makeup without leaving a greasy residue, making it a popular choice for daily cleansing. A significant number of users report that it effectively dissolves stubborn makeup. However, some users, particularly those with sensitive eyes, have experienced stinging, and a smaller group with acne-prone skin noted potential breakouts. The cleanser has a pleasant scent and rinses cleanly, leaving skin feeling soft.

## How to apply

- Use this makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine to clear away dirt and oil. Start 3x/week and work up to daily use if your combination skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this makeup remover before cleansing and using the rest of your skin products. This ensures all makeup and impurities are fully washed away.
- Gently press a small amount of the makeup remover onto your face using a soft cotton pad. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent irritation.
- Apply the makeup remover on dry skin to easily dissolve makeup and clear out blemishes. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid the delicate eye area while applying.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Biore Perfect Oil a weak match for acne-prone skin?

This makeup remover is a weak match because, while it cleanses well, the formula lacks specialized ingredients to target your acne, blemishes, and breakouts. A product of this type needs nourishing oils and extracts, squalane, various plant oils, or multiple types of hyaluronic acid that provide soothing properties and relevant skincare benefits for acne and blemishes.

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for acne-prone skin?

Mineral oil and isododecane make this cleanser a poor fit because, while they dissolve impurities, the formula lacks specialized ingredients to target breakouts. A makeup remover for acne-prone skin needs soothing plant oils, squalane, or hydrating hyaluronic acid to calm the skin and support blemishes.

### What does Mineral Oil do for acne-prone skin?

Mineral oil is generally considered safe and is unlikely to clog pores for acne-prone skin, but an average or weak fit means this skin type needs lightweight, non-greasy hydrators like glycerin or hyaluronic acid to keep skin smooth and clear without heavy layers.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22994201/), [Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37315800/)

### What does PEG-12 Laurate do for acne-prone skin?

PEG-12 Laurate is a cleansing and texture-enhancing ingredient that helps products spread easily across the face. For acne-prone skin, this ingredient may sometimes feel a bit heavy and is unlikely to provide direct acne-fighting benefits. Skin of this type generally needs lightweight, non-pore-clogging formulas with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help clear blemishes and keep pores clear.

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your cleanser, and also as the first step of your weekly routine. While it offers gentle cleansing, acne-prone skin needs a product containing targeted blemish-fighting ingredients to help clear breakouts.

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

You can use this makeup remover in your evening routine before your cleanser, but a product for this skin needs specialized ingredients to target acne and breakouts when using retinol.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

This makeup remover is used in the evening as the first step of your nighttime routine. Because this product is a weak match for your acne-prone skin, a makeup remover of this type for your skin needs soothing and blemish-clearing ingredients to target breakouts while removing makeup.

### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is a weak match because its formula lacks specialized ingredients to target your acne, blemishes, and breakouts. A product of this type needs acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or soothing plant extracts to keep pores clear and calm acne-prone skin.

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

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
