Oily Skin FAQs

How do I stop my face from being so oily?

The best care for oily skin is an effective and consistent routine that focuses on cleansing, treating, and protecting while maintaining the skin barrier. The best skincare products for oily skin help control excess oil without stripping the skin’s natural moisture. Avoid harsh or drying ingredients, as these can trigger even more oil production. Instead, use gentle, non-drying face products for oily skin that provide hydration, balance, and protection for long-term skin health.

What are the best products for oily skin?

Our oily skincare products are thoughtfully crafted with a powerful blend of active ingredients that work in harmony to address oily skin concerns while calming and soothing the complexion. Here are the key product ingredients for oily skin to look for:

A double cleanse is ideal, especially at night. The Cleansing Balm melts into an oil on contact, dissolving excess sebum and keeping the skin barrier nourished. Since oil attracts oil, this step effectively removes dirt, makeup, and impurities.

For the second cleanse, a treatment cleanser is essential. The Purifying Cleanse Gel gently removes oil buildup and pore-clogging impurities without stripping the skin barrier, leaving it clean, balanced, and refreshed. Suitable for women, men, and teenagers.

For targeted treatments, the Vitamin C Elixir is a powerful serum for oily skin that reduces blackheads, acne-causing bacteria, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Formulated with Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, an oil-soluble form of Vitamin C, it penetrates deeply into oily skin, ensuring better absorption and maximum effectiveness.

For an extra boost, try the Retinol Powerbalm at night. Retinol (the strongest form of Vitamin A) helps regulate sebum production, prevent clogged pores, and accelerate skin renewal. It reduces acne, refines skin texture, and fades post-acne scars, revealing a clearer, smoother complexion.

For daily hydration and SPF protection, we offer two moisturisers for oily skin:

  • Daily Defence SPF 50 - A lightweight, fragrance-free SPF moisturiser with Niacinamide to regulate oil production, reduce sebum, and double as a makeup primer, leaving a smooth, satin finish.
  • Purifying Day Moisturiser SPF 30 - A mattifying moisturiser with Zinc PCA to control shine, hydrate, and prevent breakouts. It also works as a makeup primer, leaving a matte, shine-free finish.

Top Tip: The Purifying Moisturiser doubles as a night cream, regulating oil production, inhibiting bacterial growth, and locking in moisture overnight, so you wake up with balanced, refreshed, and mattified skin.

What are 3 characteristics of oily skin?

The three main characteristics of oily skin are:

  1. Shiny, greasy complexion – Especially noticeable on the forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone).
  2. Enlarged pores – More visible around the nose and cheeks due to excess sebum production.
  3. Frequent breakouts – Clogged pores lead to acne, blackheads, and blemishes.

How to stop oily face naturally?

While natural oils may seem like a solution, those high in oleic acid can clog pores and worsen breakouts. Instead, use skincare products for oily skin formulated with naturally derived ingredients.

Other ways to manage oily skin naturally: Stay hydrated - Dehydrated skin overproduces oil to compensate. Protect skin from external factors - Weather, stress, and hormones impact oil levels. Change pillowcases regularly - Prevents oil and bacteria buildup. Clean your phone often - Reduces bacteria transfer to your skin.

What do dermatologists recommend for oily skin?

Dermatologists suggest:

Retinoids or salicylic acid treatments to keep pores clear and regulate sebum production.
