Oily skin
Oily skin isn’t just a concern associated with teenagers: it can also be caused by genetics or hormones. But if your oiliness is excessive and accompanied by breakouts and blemishes, it’s time to control it. Don’t be tempted to strip your skin with harsh cleansers or skip moisturiser: instead, try these key ingredients to bring it under control.
how to treat it
Salicylic Acid is the go-to ingredient thanks to its ability to exfoliate pores. A chemical exfoliator from the beta hydroxy acid (BHA) family, it’s the ideal ingredient for congested skin as it’s able to break through the oil on your skin, reducing the congestion caused by dead skin cells inside pores. Oily skin also needs hydration, otherwise it will produce more oil to compensate. Hyaluronic acid is a great lightweight hydrator that won’t add excess shine but will keep those moisture levels balanced.
What to use
For oily skin, balancing hydration without heaviness is key. Start your routine with the Salicylic Fix Cleanser, which gently removes excess oil and surface impurities to leave skin feeling clean and refreshed.
Next, apply the Ceramide Fix Base Build Moisture Milk, a lightweight essence enriched with niacinamide to help manage sebum while delivering weightless hydration. Even oily skin needs moisture, as dehydrated skin can overcompensate by producing more oil.
Finish with the Hyaluronic Fix Hybrid Gel Cream, a super-light moisturiser that locks in hydration without weighing the skin down, leaving it soft, comfortable, and balanced throughout the day.
