You say people with oily skin should avoid mildly acidic cleansers? I checked to see if that's true.

 

In the past, when my skin broke out, people around me

I've heard a lot of people say, "Try using a mildly acidic cleanser."

But as someone with oily skin, I "Isn't mild acidity gentle, so the cleaning power is weak?" That was the first thought that came to mind.
I was especially worried because I have oily skin and breakouts easily.

 

 

✅ Is mildly acidic cleansing really bad for oily skin?

To start with the conclusion, it's the complete opposite.

Mildly acidic cleansing is actually perfect for oily skin!

 

The skin is naturally slightly acidic (pH 5~6), but

Most cleansing foams are made alkaline to ensure strong cleansing power.

So, it feels squeaky clean after use, but,

The lipids and protective barrier are all washed away, causing the oil-water balance to collapse.

Then, it actually causes more oil to be secreted, which can lead to breakouts.
