"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."

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'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."

"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.
