Best Products for Oily Skin

Oily skin produces excess sebum, leaving the face — especially the T-zone — looking shiny with enlarged pores and a tendency to breakouts. The best products for oily skin are lightweight, non-comedogenic and often oil-free or mattifying, clearing excess oil and unclogging pores without stripping the skin or triggering more oil.

Oily Skin — FAQ

What products are best for oily skin?

Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic, oil-free or mattifying formulas — gel cleansers, water-based moisturisers, and ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide and clay. These control shine and unclog pores without stripping the skin, which can otherwise trigger even more oil.

Should oily skin still use a moisturiser?

Yes. Skipping moisturiser makes oily skin produce more oil to compensate. Choose a lightweight, oil-free or gel moisturiser that hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy, and apply it morning and night after cleansing.

What ingredients help oily skin?

Salicylic acid (a BHA) clears pores, niacinamide regulates oil and refines pores, and clay absorbs excess sebum. Avoid heavy oils and rich butters, which can feel greasy and clog pores on oily skin types.
