lotion

'greasy type perhaps?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'quite a bit charged by' is the wordplay.
'quite a bit' becomes 'lot' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'charged' becomes 'ion' (I've seen this in other clues).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'lot'+'ion'='LOTION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lotion that I've seen before include "cosmetic cream" , "Preparation that's applied to the skin" , "Medicinal wash" , "Medicinal or cosmetic liquid for skin" , "Medicinal liquid applied to skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
