Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent makeup removal for your oily skin due to nourishing oils like sunflower seed oil and soybean oil that effectively dissolve makeup without stripping the skin.
  • While it provides general hydration and cleansing, the emollient benefits from sunflower and safflower seed oils are not ideal for managing oily shine and lack sufficient seboregulation for oily skin.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin with no risks of irritation from harsh ingredients.

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.

People Say

Questions and answers

Why is Fenty Skin Melt Awf Makeup-Removing Jelly-Oil Cleanser a weak match for oily skin?

This cleanser is a weak match because its rich oils and butters are better suited for dry skin and may add unwanted shine rather than helping control oil. Makeup removers for oily skin need lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients that cleanse effectively without heavy softeners that can clog pores.

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

Shea butter and heavy oils like sunflower seed oil make this cleanser a weak match because they add too much richness for oily skin. A product for this skin needs oil-controlling and balancing ingredients instead of heavy butters and oils.

What does Sunflower Seed Oil do for oily skin?

Sunflower seed oil helps keep the skin barrier strong and improves hydration without clogging pores, making it a good fit for oily skin. Oily skin needs lightweight plant oils with a high linoleic acid ratio to balance moisture and support the skin barrier without feeling heavy.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2018

What does Shea Butter do for oily skin?

Shea butter may feel too heavy for oily skin and is unlikely to be the best fit without careful testing. This skin type needs light, non-greasy moisturizers and ingredients that balance oil production without clogging pores.

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

This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your cleanser, and in your weekly routine before your cleanser, enzyme powder, and cleansing mask. Oily skin needs a makeup remover with oil-controlling ingredients that help manage shine and balance oil production.

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

You can use this makeup remover in your evening routine before your cleanser, followed by your retinol treatment and moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation on oily skin, but oily skin of this type needs lightweight ingredients that help control shine rather than heavy nourishing oils.

How often should I use this cleanser?

You can use this makeup remover in the evening whenever you wear makeup, as it is safe for your skin but lacks the oil-controlling benefits needed for oily skin. Oily skin needs ingredients that help balance shine.

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

This makeup remover is unlikely to cause irritation on oily skin, but it is a weak match for your skin type. Because it contains heavy nourishing oils like sunflower seed oil and shea butter, a product of this type for oily skin needs lighter balancing ingredients and oil-absorbing minerals to help manage shine and prevent a greasy feel.
