Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This cleanser goes in the morning routine after waking up and in the evening routine after removing makeup. A cleanser of this type for oily skin needs gentle cleansers and oil-managing ingredients to clear pores and reduce shine without irritation.

How often should I use this cleanser?
You can use this cleanser daily in the morning and evening as part of your routine. It clears pores and manages oiliness safely without irritation, though oily skin often benefits from deeper purifying ingredients like salicylic acid or clay.
Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
