Oily Skin Type

Oily skin: what it means

Shine by lunchtime, enlarged pores around the nose and forehead, and makeup that slides off by 3pm. That's overactive sebaceous glands at work. The trap most people fall into is over-cleansing, which strips the barrier and triggers even more oil production. The fix is balance, not war.

What to look for in products
  • 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
What to avoid
  • 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)
Your K-beauty routine

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.

Hero ingredients
  • 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

Browse the collection below for BHA toners, niacinamide ampoules, and gel-textured essentials that keep shine in check without dehydrating your skin.
