Oil cleansing does nothing for me WHY?

I have no idea whats going on, either i use a bad oil cleanser (to be fair i picked up the only oil cleanser i could find at müller 🥲) I use 3 pumps of the oil, on dry skin and for about a minute i message it into my skin i then wet my hands and start messaging the oil on my skin i, dont see much white. (Maybe because i only realy wear sunscreen and no makeup?) And then go in with my the inkey list salicylic acid cleanser. But my skin gets worse for some reason. Now i have no idea if its me overly stripping my skin with the SA cleanser or the oil just not doing it... Any thoughts/tips?🥲

Picking cleansing oil is more of trials and errors. 3 pumps sounds a bit too much for face with no makeup, I use 1.5 pump only and been doing oil cleansing for about 10 years now. Mostly, oils with high linoleic acids are more suitable for oily skinned folks while oils with high oleic acids are more for dry skin BUT a balanced mix of them are sometimes do a good job on my oily skin too. Any skincare needs consistency, you just started your first bottle, there are many amazing products for you to find in the future, hope you enjoy. Plus, using SA everyday even in a cleanser may also contribute to your situation. I’ve been sharing this link about oils and butters anytime there’s questions about cleansing oils, hope this helps. https://www.herbaldynamicsbeauty.com/blogs/herbal-dynamics-beauty/understanding-the-comedogenic-scale-for-oils-and-butters

I think you should try another cleansing oil. Most likely, your oil contains not the best working emulsifier and the product’s formula is not balanced. That’s why the oil doesn’t emulsify well. I have cleansing balm with the same issue, it also doesn’t emulsify and doesn’t wash off the makeup well 🙁 but other I’ve tryed are great.

which cleansing oil are you currently using? maybe it’s an ingredient in the oil cleanser that is causing the problem or maybe it’s an ingredient in the oil that does not mix well with salicylic acid. i can help more once i know what you’re using :)

cleansing oils are supposed to help with blackheads but since you said they’re staying the same i advise you to try to find a cleansing oil aimed at pore cleansing because maybe the cleansing oil you purchased isn’t strong enough or designed to properly cleanse out pores. i don’t know what pore cleansing oils are available to you in your country but i’ll tag a few that i hear are good! you can go through them and see which one you think would work best. personally, although i’ve never tried the abib heartleaf one, that’s the one i would go for because it cleanses pores but is also gentle as heartleaf has anti-inflammatory properties.
