Best Cleanser for Oily Skin in India(That Aren’t Face Washes)

Last Updated on March 10, 2023

If you have oily skin, a cleanser can make or break your skincare routine. Hence every person with oily skin in India is always on the hunt for the best cleanser in the market.

Water-based face washes are always a good choice. But sometimes you may not find the right one for you. Or you may simply prefer not using one.

Thankfully, we have several unconventional cleanser options turning up in India within the clean beauty segment. I personally have found powder cleansers to work really well on my oily and acne-prone skin.

4 Best Cleanser Options For Oily Skin in India

1. Earth Rhythm Matcha Green Tea Cleansing Balm

I used this one at my cousin’s place once to remove makeup and it was so good. This is an emulsifying cleansing balm so it turns milky and easily comes off when you splash some water on your face.

It melts even matte, smudge-proof liquid lipsticks well. And after rinsing it off, the skin does not feel greasy at all.

So definitely check this one out if you love double-cleansing. (They have different variants so pick one that suits your needs.)

Shop this on Amazon

2. Fiducia Botanicals Brightening Exfoliator

If you are too lazy to exfoliate your skin regularly, pick this daily cleanser cum exfoliator from Fiducia Botanicals. It has goatmilk powder(natural source of AHAs) and oats which help cleanse and exfoliate your skin. While turmeric and calendula help brighten skin and reduce pigmentation too.

3. Raw Beauty Neemoi Face Wash Powder

Another wonderful powder cleanser that works well as a cleanser as well as a quick face mask. Made with ingredients like oats, neem, moringa, tulsi and white turmeric, this cleanser is a great buy for anyone with acne-prone skin.

4. Juicy Chemistry Cucumber, Matcha & Spearmint Organic Cold Pressed Soap

Using a bar of soap is a good way to cut down plastic waste from your routine. Plus, you can double this up as body soap too. 

I am recommending this particular variant from Juicy Chemistry since it has soothing ingredients and is made using the traditional cold-processed soapmaking process.

Shop this on their website. (Use code “DEMURE10” to get 10% discount)
