Frequently Asked Questions

What causes oily skin?
Oily skin is primarily influenced by genetics, but it can also be affected by hormones, environmental factors and skincare habits. The skin naturally produces sebum to maintain balance; however, some skin types produce more than needed, leading to shine and congestion. Using overly harsh or stripping products can also trigger the skin to compensate by producing excess oil.
Which ingredients are best for oily skin?
The best ingredients for oily skin focus on managing excess oil and deep pore cleansing. These include niacinamide, exfoliating acids and zinc. Glycerin also plays an important role, acting as a non-comedogenic, oil-free humectant that attracts moisture to the skin without adding heaviness or clogging pores.
How often should I cleanse oily skin?
Skincare for oily skin includes cleansing twice daily (morning and evening) to remove excess oil, impurities and daily buildup. Consistent cleansing helps maintain balance without disrupting the skin barrier. Choosing a gentle cleanser is key to avoiding unnecessary dryness or rebound oil production.
Can oily skin still get dehydrated?
Yes. Oiliness refers to sebum production, while dehydration is caused by a lack of water in the skin, meaning the two can occur simultaneously. When oily skin becomes dehydrated, it may respond by producing even more oil, often resulting in surface shine alongside sensations of tightness, dullness or uneven texture. Dehydration can be triggered by factors such as over-cleansing, excessive exfoliation, air-conditioned environments, cold weather or insufficient water intake. Use lightweight, water-based or oil-free formulas containing humectants to restore hydration without adding excess oil.
Do moisturisers make oily skin worse?
Moisturisers do not inherently worsen oily skin when the right formulation is used. In fact, skipping them can cause skin to produce more oil to compensate for dehydration. Go for non-comedogenic gel-based moisturisers to help balance and hydrate oily skin properly.
