Can Cleansing Oils break you out?

So I’ve been doing double cleansing religiously in my routine with the right steps, but i’m still a bit skeptical as i have a really sensitive and acne prone skin. I did get few bumps as usual but i’m not sure if it’s the cleansing oil or just my skin being my skin. Btw, I only use the Heimish matcha cleansing oil so far, it does have a strong smell but i’m still confused on how to describe it. Did anyone else have the same issue??

Yes that can happen more easily than you think, moreso if the product contains pore-clogging ingredients or you personally react to a certain ingredient. I usually don't have problems with most cleansers but I've had that experience and for me this can happen with certain pore-clogging ingredients. I have a friend who can't use any skincare products that contain niacinamide e.g bc that'll just make her break out. For the heimish cleansing oil, these ingredients could potentially be a reason of you breaking out as they're considered pore-clogging: - Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter - Olea Europaea Olive Fruit Oil - Oleyl Alcohol

I stopped using cleansing oils a month ago and my skin became much better. I used to have clogged pores, camedoges and uneven textured skin. I think I had or still have fungal acne and oils are not recommended for it. Anyhow once I stopped using them in my routine it got soooooo much better.

Definitely. Especially if you don’t emulsify it and rinse it off all the way.

Yess, the ones that makes me break out I just throw them away or stop buying them. Sometimes it's our skin type or the ingredients..

Oh noo!!! i don’t get the hype and how people get amazing results because my skin was finally getting better and it randomly started breaking out again, also i receive so many cleansing oils in my PR so i don’t know if i should use it or not 😭🥲

Yes don’t use to many within a couple days cause they could just all break you out.
