"This is one of my favorite cleansers because it's so non-drying and really feels nice on my skin. I love that cleanser from Skinfix, it's so nice, no scent to it, nice ingredient list. It rinses off but leaves your skin feeling nice and soft, not dry or irritated."

"I really love this brand, one of the few that I just there's so many brands that I love but there's just a few that are really special in my heart. Skin Fix is one of them. I'm excited to give it a whirl. You want to use it on damp skin. It's got a nice gel texture to it, light lather."

"The SkinFix foaming oil cleanser is really nice, it does a pretty good job with most sunscreen and most makeup for the exception of strong water resistant like eyeliner things like that it struggles a little bit with that, but this stuff is really nice and non-drying. It's nice in the fact that I don't feel like I have to do a second step cleanse after it especially if I use a toner or something like that."

"This is the SkinFix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser. [...] This is that milky gel, slightly moisturizing cleanser, but unlike the CeraVe, it actually washes away cleanly and it doesn't feel filmy. My skin just feels refreshed and not stripped but not filmy. And so that's why I loved it. [...] I don't know what kind of magic is going on with this cleanser. [...] The pump on this dispenses the exact right amount of cleanser. And you would not believe how incredibly important that actually is. I have tested so many cleansers where you do one pump and it's just so much product. It's like double the amount that you need just for your face. Even if you did your face and neck, it would still be too much, and you just end up rinsing so much of the product down the drain because it is hard to train yourself to only do a half a pump."

September Faves | Prequel, VT, Skinfix, PMD Beauty, Flow vs. Force

"The SkinFix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser really splits the difference between what I was looking for. It's not stripping and harsh, but not too thick either. It's almost like a gel type of cleanser mixed with a cream type of cleanser. It has a really nice silky luxurious texture and it foams up really well. I love that foaming action because it really helps to break through any thick oil that you might have on your skin. I have combo skin, my T-zone is still popping, and this really helps to break through all of that. Sometimes in the morning, if my skincare layers feel a little thick, especially if I slugged the night before, I like to use this foaming cleanser to break that up. It feels really refreshing and washes away really cleanly, but then it doesn't strip my skin. There's just that kiss of moisture and silkiness to it."

"I'm using the SkinFix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser. This has a very creamy gel-like texture. It's low foam, but it definitely feels like it cleanses my skin of all the skin care layers and maybe a little bit of oil that's on my skin right now, but it doesn't strip my skin. It actually leaves it feeling very soft and not stripped."

"Skinfix has an oil cleanser here. Prebiotic foaming oil cleanser. Skinfix is expensive. This has some peptides. It has lactic acid which may gently exfoliate as well as hydrate. Ceramides good for eczema, the skin barrier."

"The SkinFix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser is a beautiful hybrid between an oil cleanser and a cream cleanser. It kind of looks like a cream and then it foams up as well, and it breaks down makeup. This is amazing for lazy skin days when you're like I need to wash my face but I don't want to do a double cleanse. [...] It's beautiful, it's hydrating, and it really helps protect the skin barrier."

"The SkinFix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser is more like a traditional cleanser, but one thing I really love about it is that it has a little bit of slip and hydration to it so it doesn't feel like it's stripping your skin or leaving your skin depleted, but you also get this really satisfying lather when you use it. It's great at removing makeup as well as sunscreen. This is probably one of my favorite cleansers to bring with me on a beach vacation because on days when I'm applying a lot of sunscreen or I have a lot of product build up on my face, I know it's going to get my face clean without leaving it feeling dry or tight. The reason I love this so much for people who maybe have a very minimalist skincare routine is because it has that hydrating factor to it, so you may not need to follow it with a moisturizer to keep your skin feeling really good."

"I really like Skin Fix products so far, and this is a really nice non-stripping foaming cleanser that I'd recommend. But I was a little bit disappointed because I thought it would be an actual oil cleanser, not just a regular cleanser with oils in it. It's a nice everyday cleanser, but if you've already got non-stripping cleansers that you like, this isn't anything new. I wouldn't rush out and buy it."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
