Questions and answers

How well does the ZEROID Foaming Cleanser work for oily skin?

This cleanser works okay for oily skin, but other products fit it better. Oily skin needs a cleanser that provides excellent cleansing without irritation, utilizes effective ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides to manage oily shine and support skin health, while ensuring no risks of unsuitability or adverse effects.

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

Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate and Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate help this cleanser remove impurities from oily skin, while lactic acid and citric acid manage shine through mild exfoliation. However, an oily skin cleanser of this type needs ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, salicylic acid, and probiotics to control oil and support skin health without feeling heavy.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

What does Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate do for oily skin?

Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate helps cleanse and lift excess oil from oily skin. Ingredients of this type need to effectively remove sebum while keeping skin feeling smooth and calm without causing irritation.

What does Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate do for oily skin?

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate helps gently wash away excess oil while keeping your oily skin calm and protected against dryness. Mild cleansers formulated with such ingredients reduce skin barrier damage and improve hydration without stripping your skin.

Dermatologic Therapy, 2004Pharmaceutical Development and Technology, 2019

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

This cleanser goes in both your morning and evening routines. Oily skin works best with cleansers that feature light, refreshing ingredients that wash away impurities and shine without leaving behind a heavy feel.

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

You can use this cleanser with retinol by applying it before your retinol step, but it is an average fit because hydrating ingredients like glycerin may feel slightly heavy on oily skin. Oily skin works best with lightweight cleansers that clear excess oil without heavy moisturizing ingredients.

How often should I use this cleanser?

You can use this cleanser twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. A consistent daily routine with a mild cleanser helps improve skin condition safely over time.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022

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

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as its ingredients have a very low irritation and allergy risk. However, because it contains moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, it may feel slightly heavy on your skin. Oily skin often benefits more from lightweight, oil-free cleansers with purifying ingredients that completely clear away excess oil without leaving a heavy layer behind.

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

You can use this cleanser on your body, but it is best to avoid the thin skin around your eyes to prevent irritation. Cleansers for oily skin need lightweight ingredients that clear away extra oil and impurities without leaving a heavy layer behind.

Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
