Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for oily skin as Zea Mays Oil and Caprylic Capric Triglyceride provide emollient action, though they may not offer sufficient seboregulation for your oily shine concerns.
- The presence of oils like Zea Mays Oil and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil aids in dissolving makeup and impurities, providing general skincare benefits that are supportive but not targeted for oiliness.
- The formula is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing tocopheryl acetate.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine. Start 3×/week and increase to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It prepares your skin by melting away excess oil and makeup.
- Gently press a small amount onto your dry skin using your fingertips. Massage softly and avoid harsh rubbing to protect your pores.
- Apply this product on dry skin to effectively break down heavy makeup and surface oil. Massage it gently before washing it off with water.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin feels comfortable.

Questions and answers
How well does numbuzin Easy Peasy work for oily skin?
This cleansing oil works for oily skin, though other products fit it better because its nourishing oils do not control oily shine. An ideal makeup remover for oily skin needs oil-controlling ingredients to keep the complexion refreshed without feeling too rich.
Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for oily skin?
Zea Mays Oil and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil help dissolve makeup and impurities, while tocopheryl acetate soothes your skin without irritation. However, because this cleanser lacks oil-controlling ingredients, oily skin needs a makeup remover with balancing and clarifying ingredients to manage excess shine effectively.
What does Corn Oil do for oily skin?
Corn oil is generally too heavy and pore-clogging for oily skin, as it can trap excess oil and lead to breakouts. Oily skin instead needs lightweight, non-greasy ingredients and plant oils high in linoleic acid that help balance natural oils and keep pores clear.
Skin Research and Technology, 2012The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1986
What does Macadamia Seed Oil do for oily skin?
Macadamia Seed Oil is generally too heavy for oily skin because it tends to clog pores and cause breakouts. Oily skin needs lightweight, fast-absorbing hydrators that balance oil without adding extra grease.
Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your cleanser, and as a weekly step before your cleanser when you do your weekly routine. It is safe for oily skin, but because it does not control oil well, oily skin needs ingredients that help balance oil and keep shine down.
Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this makeup remover in your evening routine before your cleanser, and it is safe to use alongside retinol because the formula lacks harsh ingredients. A product for oily skin needs ingredients that help balance oil and shine while dissolving makeup.
How often should I use this cleanser?
You can use this makeup remover in the evening as the first step of your routine to dissolve makeup and impurities. While it is safe and unlikely to irritate, oily skin works best with products that help control shine.
Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
It is unlikely to cause severe issues, though some reviewers report breakouts with this makeup remover on oily skin. Because it lacks targeted oil control, an oily skin type needs a cleanser with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help balance excess shine and keep pores clear.
Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
Topical application of an antioxidant serum containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented particulate matter-induced degradation of extracellular matrix components, inflammation, and oxidative stress in the skin of 15 female volunteers compared to untreated controls.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025Dermatological products containing d-alpha tocopheryl acetate showed non-comedogenic potential with less than a 50% increase in microcomedones in 12 healthy male subjects compared to octyl palmitate.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024Repeated 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.
