  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this cleanser AM and PM as part of your daily routine. Start 3×/week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this cleanser as the very first step in your morning routine and right after your pre-cleanser in the evening.
  • Gently massage a small amount of cleanser onto your skin using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • For the best results , apply the cleanser directly onto slightly damp skin to help lift away excess oil.
  • Avoid the immediate eye area and do a patch test before your first use to check for any sensitivity.

Questions and answers

Why is Arencia Fresh Green Cleanser a weak match for combination skin?

This cleanser is a weak match because it may not balance oil production, maintain hydration in dry areas, or manage oily shine as well as top-rated options. A cleanser for this skin needs high-quality ingredients that safely balance oil, hydrate, and support the skin barrier without irritation.

Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007

Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for combination skin?

This cleanser is a weak match for combination skin because it lacks the exceptional oil-balancing power and comprehensive barrier support found in top-rated options. A cleanser of this type needs ingredients that effectively control shine while keeping dry areas hydrated and maintaining overall skin balance.

Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007

What does Glycerin do for combination skin?

Glycerin helps keep combination skin soft and smooth by pulling moisture in and keeping it there. It improves hydration and supports your skin barrier, which is unlikely to cause irritation.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate do for combination skin?

Sodium cocoyl isethionate helps clean combination skin gently without drying out the dry parts or stripping natural moisture. Its large cleansing structures are too big to sink into the skin barrier, which keeps your face feeling soft and comfortable instead of tight.

Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007Molecules, 2022

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

This cleanser goes in the morning and evening routine for combination skin. Because it is a weak match for this skin, a product of this type needs extra hydrating and oil-balancing ingredients like glycerin and clay to properly care for combination skin.

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

You can use this cleanser with retinol, applying the cleanser first to remove impurities before following with your retinol treatment. Combination skin needs a cleanser that balances oil without stripping moisture, along with gentle exfoliants and hydrators like glycerin and plant extracts to keep the skin barrier calm and smooth.

Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007

How often should I use this cleanser?

This cleanser is a weak match for combination skin, so it may not provide the balanced oil control and moisture this skin type needs. Combination skin requires cleansers with gentle cleansing agents and oil-absorbing ingredients to manage shine without drying out the skin.

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

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your combination skin because it has a very safe formula with no harsh or irritating ingredients. A product of this type needs gentle cleansers and oil-absorbing ingredients like glycerin and kaolin to keep your skin clear and balanced.

Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007

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

You can use this cleanser on your body, but you should avoid the thin skin around your eyes. A cleanser for this skin needs gentle hydrating ingredients and mild cleansing agents like glycerin and sodium cocoyl isethionate.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007

Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.

What the research says

  • Sodium cocoyl isethionate micelles are too large to penetrate stratum corneum aqueous pores, resulting in significant steric hindrance that prevents skin barrier perturbation and explains its skin mildness.

    Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2007
  • A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.

    Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
  • The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.

    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020
  • Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.

    International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001
  • Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.

    Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012
  • Topical almond oil reduced the incidence of pressure injuries and delayed their onset compared to placebo and standard of care in intensive care unit patients.

    Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing, 2020
  • Reliable methods for preventing striae gravidarum are scarce, with limited evidence showing centella and bitter almond oil may prevent or reduce the severity of stretch marks.

    The British Journal of Dermatology, 2015
  • Topical almond oil prevented structural damage and decelerated the photoaging process induced by ultraviolet B irradiation in mice compared to ultraviolet B exposure alone.
