Your Questions, Answered
Oily skin is characterised by an overproduction of sebum, the natural oil that helps maintain skin hydration and protect your skin barrier. While sebum plays an important role in skin health, excess oil can contribute to visible shine, clogged or enlarged pores, and an increased likelihood of blackheads, whiteheads and breakouts.
Regular exfoliation can help keep excess oil, congestion and clogged pores under control, but it's important not to overdo it. Opt for gentle exfoliating formulas a few times a week rather than exfoliating daily, and pair them with a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser to maintain hydration.
Oily skin is mostly a hereditary and hormonal skin type. However, factors such as stress, warm and humid climates and diet can have an impact on your skin’s sebum production too.
Yes, hyaluronic acid is an excellent ingredient for oily skin. As a humectant, it attracts and retains water to help keep skin hydrated without adding excess oil or heaviness.
