Oily skin doesn't need harsh stripping

Build a routine that balances shine while respecting your barrier.

Oily and combination skin often produces extra sebum — especially through the T-zone. The goal is gentle cleansing, lightweight hydration, and daily SPF without over-stripping. This is cosmetic skincare guidance, not medical advice.

Routine tips

  • Use a gentle gel or foam cleanser twice daily — avoid aggressive scrubbing.
  • Choose lightweight serums with niacinamide to help balance the appearance of oiliness.
  • Never skip moisturiser; dehydration can trigger more oil production.
  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF every morning as the final step.
