Skincare for oily skin

Face cream for oily skin – find your skincare

Oily skin produces more sebum than other skin types, so it becomes shiny easily, especially on the forehead, nose and chin, and pores can look larger. Many people skip moisturiser, but oily skin needs moisture too. Without it, skin can feel tight and irritated. Choose a face cream for oily skin that is light and does not feel greasy. Avoid washing your face too often or in very hot water, as this dries out the skin.

Skin Balance Face Cream moisturises with hyaluronic acid, which binds moisture in the skin, and soothes with liquorice root extract. It is fragrance-free and AllergyCertified. Anti Redness Cream is particularly good for oily skin because it contains an ingredient derived from lactic acid bacteria that strengthens the skin's good bacteria and helps with excess sebum. 24 Hour Cream is light, absorbs quickly and is non-greasy, making it suitable for oily skin too.

Cleansers for oily skin

Cleanse your skin morning and evening, but choose a cleanser that does not dry it out. Cleansing Gel deeply cleanses away dirt and excess oil and is made for normal and oily skin. Cleansing Powder combines cleansing and gentle exfoliation: small exfoliating particles remove dead skin cells, leaving skin feeling smoother. Daily Peel 7% is a toner with glycolic acid, an acid that loosens dead skin cells on the surface and helps with enlarged pores and shine. Skin Balance Face Toner soothes, moisturises and makes pores look smaller. See all face cleansing products.

Serums and masks for shine and enlarged pores

In the morning, use a cleanser, serum, a light cream and sunscreen. In the evening, use a cleanser, serum and cream. These products are good to know about:

• Acne Serum with salicylic acid, an acid that penetrates the pores, is light and oil-free and helps with blemishes, enlarged pores and shine.
• Hyaluronic Serum provides oil-free moisture so skin does not feel tight.
• Clay Mask with natural clay draws excess oil out of the pores, making them cleaner and less visible.
• Skin Balance Mud Mask is a deep-cleansing face mask with natural clay and hyaluronic acid for oily skin and blemishes.
• Daily Sun Shield SPF 50 (Daily Sun Shield SPF 50) protects without feeling greasy, leaving a white cast or clogging pores and is particularly good for oily and blemish-prone skin.

If you also have blemishes, see skincare for blemish-prone skin. If your skin is only shiny on the forehead, nose and chin, skincare for combination skin may be a better fit. Read more advice in our guide to oily and blemish-prone skin, or find your routine.
