Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testFresh green tea ingredients with the power mild vegetable oils help cleanse impurities and makeup without drying out skin. This non-stripping formula helps maintain skin’s natural acidity and is free from chemical surfactants. Real green tea leaves contain antioxidants that effectively soothe and deliver moisture as well as promote a healthy skin base.
Real Fresh Green Tea Cleansing Oil is a cushioning oil cleanser from NEOGEN. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 43 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol and Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride and Ethylhexyl Palmitate.
Antioxidant support: Moderate. Ingredients that mop up free radicals from UV and pollution, and here that comes from Camellia Sinensis Leaf, Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
On richness alone it suits Dry, Combination (dry) and Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, oil control, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
