Oily Skin

Oily skin makes more sebum, which can mean shine, visible pores and breakouts. A gentle foaming cleanser, a salicylic acid exfoliant and a light moisturiser help keep shine in check without stripping your skin, and niacinamide helps balance oil.

Skin Concern FAQs

Which moisturiser is best for oily skin?

A light gel or fluid that won't feel heavy, such as the CeraVe Oil Control Gel-Cream Moisturiser or Bioderma Sébium Mat Control. If you want SPF in the same step, try a mattifying SPF like Bioderma Photoderm AKN Mat SPF 30.

Does oily skin need a moisturiser?

Yes. Oily skin can still lack water, and skipping moisturiser can leave it feeling tight and uncomfortable. Choose a lightweight, oil-control formula.

Which cleanser should I use for oily skin?

A gentle foaming gel, such as Bioderma Sebium Purifying Cleansing Foaming Gel, or a cleanser with salicylic acid, like the CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser, if you also get breakouts.
