If your skin is prone to breakouts, choose oil control skin care products that use lightweight foam or gel formulas. Learning how to reduce oily skin is about using cleansers daily to remove makeup and other impurities, to keep your skin fresh and healthy. Look for an oil-free foam cleanser and follow with the best toner for oily skin, such as our dermatologist-developed Clarifying Lotion. Finally, apply a moisturiser for oily skin and an oil-free foundation to keep your skin hydrated and soft.

Oil is naturally produced by the skin, but sometimes it can go overboard: resulting in large pores and a shiny complexion. These symptoms can be exacerbated by hormonal fluctuations and humid environments. Oil can also be spread across the skin by sweat, which is why oily skin can be a problem for those who love hitting the gym. If you have skin that tends to become oily, especially in hot weather, look to incorporate a face wash for oily skin to your skincare routine.

We have a wide range of moisturisers to suit all skin types: sometimes it’s good to use a different type of moisturiser during the hotter months, such as an oil-free gel.
