Gentle, Clarifying Cleansing for Acne-Prone Skin
My Oil Cleanser for Oily/Acne Prone Skin is a lightweight, natural solution designed to remove makeup, dissolve excess oil, and clear pores without stripping your skin. I created this formula for anyone who struggles with oily or breakout-prone skin and wants a gentle, effective way to cleanse while nourishing at the same time.
When I was younger, I avoided oils entirely, thinking they would worsen breakouts. Over-drying my skin only triggered more oil and clogged pores. This cleanser flips the usual logic, using the right oils to gently dissolve impurities while supporting your skin’s natural balance.
Why Use a Natural Oil Cleanser for Oily Skin
Oil dissolves oil. That’s the secret to clearing pores without triggering more oil production. This blend works to:
-
Gently lift makeup, excess sebum, and debris
-
Support the skin’s natural barrier
-
Leave skin soft, clean, and calm
Even now, it keeps my skin smooth and clear, reducing breakouts and preventing under-skin bumps without feeling greasy.
Curious about the science behind oil cleansing? I like this overview from SELF Magazine – it breaks down how oil helps cleanse skin gently and effectively.
Real Feedback from Customers
“I use the oil cleanser after the scrub. I appreciate not using soap on my face. Since beginning to use these fabulous products that Brenda has so carefully produced, I have not used soap on my face and it never feels dry. As I age, all of these products help my skin age gracefully and feel so soft to the touch. I’m in for the long haul and am confident my skin will show the care I’ve given it. Love you Brenda!” ~ Sandy S.

- Leaving a little oil behind is okay, it nourishes your skin without clogging pores.

This has helped my skin so much. It did take some getting used to using an oil versus a traditional cleanser but my skin could definitely tell a difference and it shows. Cleans and moisturizes and doesn’t dry out my skin.

This product was a part of my first purchase from Brenda. I discovered these products (and met Brenda) at a Folk Festival in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. From that day on, I have never used soap on my face again. I was skeptical, but it did not take long for me to see the benefits of this Face Cleanser, I will never go back to soap! I use this in the shower (or evening face washing) after I use the Soda Scrub. I put one pump in my palm, rub my hands together and massage all over my face as well as my neck and decolletage (just below your neck). I use my washcloth to just pat my face, I do not rub or scrub with my washcloth.

Most amazing product as a cleanser! I had two white eye bumps on my face for years! You know they are gone! Really cleans out your pores! Never used a cleansing oil before it’s amazing! Really transformed my skin! Also a bonus my lines around my eyes are less than ever! My skin really took to this product! I love the way my skin feels afterwards! This is my go to cleanser from now on! Also has a very nice clean smell to it !

So far it’s good. I have to use about 4 1/2 pumps so I can massage it into my makeup without it pulling my skin. I’m trying to find a replacement for my old makeup remover that costed double the price. This stuff is good just doesn’t work so well on masca

I have noticed my skin not being as stripped when I wash my face. It is a bit drying for my combination skin; however I think I’ll just get the anti-aging one and alternate because the cleanser is great. nnUpdate tried the one for aged skin. Beautiful p

I use this stuff as a moisturizer after I wash and tone my face. And, my skin has never been better. Literally, nothing I’ve ever tried has given me such visible results. I’ve had constant cystic acne on my chin/jaw for the past year and I’m happy to say
