Oily skin
Oily skin still needs hydration. Harsh, stripping cleansers leave it tight and irritated without keeping shine away for long. Cleanse gently, use light layers, and let niacinamide or a gentle BHA do the balancing.
How to build your routine
Start with the three essentials, then add the key step. Extras are optional, one at a time. Pick any products below that match.
The essentials
- 1CleanseA gentle gel or foam that doesn’t strip. In the evening, a cleansing oil first lifts SPF.
- 2MoisturiseA gel cream. Light, but don’t skip it.
- 3SPFA light or matte finish.
The key step
- ★TreatmentBefore moisturiser. Niacinamide for shine and the look of pores.
Optional extras
- +Light tonerHydration that won’t feel greasy.
- +Exfoliating tonerBHA, 2 to 3 evenings a week.
- +Clay maskOnce a week on oily areas.
What helps oily skin
- NiacinamideHelps with shine and the look of pores.
- BHA (salicylic acid)Oil-soluble, so it clears inside pores.
- Hyaluronic acidWater-based hydration that won’t feel greasy.
- ClaySoaks up excess oil. Once a week is enough.
Don’t skip moisturiser: oily skin can still be dehydrated. If you get lots of painful spots as well as oil, see our Acne & breakouts page or talk to your GP.
