Oily Skin Type

• Niacinamide (2-5%) to regulate sebum and refine pores
• BHA (salicylic acid) to clear out congested pores from inside
• Green tea and centella extracts for sebum balance + soothing
• Lightweight gel or water-based essences
• Oil-free gel-cream moisturizers
• Matte or fluid-finish SPF

• Heavy occlusives like mineral oil or thick butters
• Comedogenic oils (coconut oil is the classic offender)
• Over-cleansing (twice a day is plenty)
• Stripping foaming cleansers that leave skin squeaky
• Skipping moisturizer (this backfires every time)

AM: Low-pH gel cleanser, balancing toner with niacinamide, lightweight essence, gel moisturizer, fluid SPF 50.

PM: Double-cleanse (lightweight oil cleanser then gel cleanser), BHA toner pads 2-3x a week, hydrating essence, niacinamide ampoule, gel-cream.

• Niacinamide: the gold standard for sebum control and pore appearance
• Salicylic acid (BHA): oil-soluble, so it gets into pores other actives can't
• Centella Asiatica: calms inflammation that often comes with oily skin
• Green tea extract: antioxidant that also helps balance sebum
• Heartleaf: purifying without stripping
