Soothe & Mattify Your Skin in 3-8 Weeks

Your skin’s red, itchy, and inflamed. Then, despite the dry patches, it's visibly oily, too. You know you need to hydrate your skin to soothe the dryness and irritation. But trying new skincare products makes you nervous.

Most products you've tried have a greasy, heavy consistency that makes your skin even oilier. You also worry the ingredients will be too harsh, and they'll irritate your sensitive skin even more.

But here's the thing: Calming sensitivities and balancing oil is possible. You just need the right skincare products for your oily, sensitive skin. Keep reading to discover skincare that thoroughly cleans, nourishes, and supports without leaving your skin feeling tight, oily, and irritated.

Best Products for Oily and Sensitive Skin

Balancing the needs of your oily and sensitive skin doesn't have to be a nightmare. And it shouldn't take a million skincare products or cost the Earth, either.

You only need a few multi-tasking products developed specifically for your skin type. Products that naturally reduce oil and calm irritation rather than cause it.

We recommend the Cleansing Balm, Hyaluronic Elixir (serum), Purifying Day Moisturiser SPF 30, and Purifying Mask to balance oil and soothe skin sensitivities.

SKINCARE EXPERT TIP: Invest in one cost-effective product, or save £69.50 on £193.50 worth of products with the Mix & Match Hydration Heroes bundle.

Best Cleanser for Oily and Sensitive Skin

Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm 100ml

The Cleansing Balm for oily, sensitive skin provides a deep cleanse, melting away makeup, debris, and sebum.

It’s also full of potent natural oils, giving the cleanser a heavenly, relaxing scent that makes taking your makeup off a treat.

The oils also have healing and anti-inflammatory properties, which make the Cleansing Balm gentle enough to protect your sensitive skin instead of irritating or stripping it.
 
The result? Clean, clear, and oil-free skin with a gorgeous glow.

"I started using this balm recently, and it is also absolutely brilliant. It smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling so clean and soft."

Best Serum for Oily and Sensitive Skin

Hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin, calms redness, and reduces inflammation, which is ideal for oily, sensitive skin. But you need a formula that doesn't sit heavily enough to increase oil production and isn't too harsh for sensitive skin.

We recommend the Hyaluronic Elixir serum for oily and sensitive skin. It has a gentle, lightweight formula with fragrance-free hyaluronic acid. The result? A healthy and radiant glow without irritation.

"Ageless Hyaluronic was absolutely fantastic. It absorbed immediately and left my skin feeling soo soft. I also noticed a dramatic difference around my crow's feet & smile lines. My skin felt much plumper. I used the product on my neck, which normally reacts to a lot of serums & moisturisers, as I have sensitive skin, But this was amazing!!" - Donna | Verified Reviewer | 5 star rating

SKINCARE EXPERT TIP: Hyaluronic acid is gentle enough to be well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. But just to be safe, always patch-test hyaluronic acid products before applying them to your face.

Best Moisturiser for Oily and Sensitive Skin

It can feel counterintuitive to moisturise oily skin. But hydration is one of the best ways to support your sensitive, oily skin type.

Like with serums, you need a moisturiser that hydrates without being so heavy that it leaves your skin greasy and congested. Your skincare must also be gentle enough to nourish oily skin into balance without causing redness, itchiness, and dry patches.

The Purifying Day Moisturiser SPF 30 with Zinc PCA keeps your skin hydrated without overstimulating oil production. It also comes with Vitamin E, a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient to soothe your skin sensitivities.

"I think this is the best moisturiser I have ever used. Not only did it help clear and prevent breakouts, it stopped my skin from being oily and smoothed my pores. I now have no need to wear an additional primer under my foundation! Also, a little goes a long way, so well worth the money!" - Steph | Verified Reviewer | 5 star rating

SKINCARE EXPERT TIP: The Purifying Day Moisturiser also has an SPF30 explicitly designed to support those with an oilier skin type. So, with a single product, you get a results-driven moisturiser and an SPF sunscreen suitable for oily skin.

Best Face Mask for Oily and Sensitive Skin

You've tried face masks before. But instead of helping your oily, sensitive skin, they left it feeling tight, dry, and sore. We designed our Purifying Mask to do precisely the opposite.

Results-driven actives like Aloe Vera, Pro-Vitamin B5, and Green Clay make it potent enough to draw out impurities and balance sebum levels. But they also keep it soothing enough to reduce redness and calm irritation. And unlike other clay masks, it's easy to remove and doesn't leave your skin feeling tight and dry.

"Perfect mask. Gets rid of blackheads and clears deep down. Nicely mattifies skin, and no drying out and tight feeling after. Clears my skin so well…Would be so good for acne or spotty prone skin and oily skin." - Cait E. | Verified Reviewer | 5 star rating

SKINCARE EXPERT TIP: Use the Purifying Mask overnight to reduce breakouts, refine pores and for a smoother, clearer complexion.

Affordable Skincare Bundle for Oily and Sensitive skin

Hydration is the ultimate key to healthy skin regardless of skin type. But skincare isn't one size fits all, and how you hydrate your skin matters. So, we're putting you in the driver's seat with the Mix & Match Hydration Heroes bundle.

"The best selection of products tailored to give my skin type amazing hydration on a daily basis. I love how the products hydrate my skin without leaving it feeling oily and breaking it out the way other hydrating products can." - Fiona | Verified Reviewer | 5 star rating

SKINCARE EXPERT TIP: The Mix & Match Hydration Heroes bundle is only available for a limited time. After the promotion period, the products will cost £193.50 instead of £124.00.

Oily Sensitive Before and After - Skin Success Stories

“I have seen amazing results from all the products I have tried so far. Highly recommended. I am very happy with the results.”

Katka applied for our Skin Concern Programme after struggling to find skincare products to control her oily skin. Like many of us, Katka leads a busy lifestyle and needs a minimal skincare routine that naturally fits into her day-to-day.

Skincare expert Lindsay carried out a skin analysis to get to the cause of her oiliness and came up with a treatment plan for Katka. Lindsay prescribed multi-functional products, including the Purifying Day Moisturiser and Purifying Mask, to support Katka's oily skin and busy lifestyle.

The results were incredible. In four weeks, Katka swapped her oily, congested skin for a clear, bright, glowing complexion.

"My skin feels amazing!! Getting compliments all the time! It looks flawless."

That was Erika after completing her skincare journey with SKINICIAN. Erika came to us with oily-acne-prone skin that was also dry and tight due to sensitivities. Like Katka, she had tried many other skincare brands, but nothing seemed to work.

A SKINICIAN in-house skin specialist created a tailored skincare routine for Erika's skin concerns. Erika was prescribed various products, including the Purifying Day Moisturiser.

The results? In six weeks, Erika's skin was less oily, and the dry and tight areas were hydrated and calm.
