Facial Care for Oily Skin

Are you tired of constantly shiny skin and pesky blemishes? Oily skin can be challenging, but it also has specific needs that can be met with the right care. When your skin produces excessive sebum, it often results in an oily complexion, enlarged pores, and frequent skin issues such as blackheads and pimples.

What Is Oily Skin?

Oily skin, also known as seborrhea oleosa in dermatology, is characterized by overactive sebaceous glands that produce more sebum than necessary. This excess oil leads to a shiny or greasy appearance, often accompanied by enlarged pores and a tendency toward blemishes and acne. Oily skin can vary in severity, from a slight sheen to very greasy skin.

The right skincare for oily skin focuses on regulating sebum production, minimizing unwanted shine, and reducing the occurrence of blemishes while maintaining the skin's natural protective barrier.

Tips for Radiant and Beautiful Skin

  • 1. Gentle cleansing

    Use a mild cleansing foam to remove excess oil and dirt without drying out the skin. Avoid harsh cleansing products that can irritate the skin and stimulate sebum production. Cleanse your face in the morning and evening to keep your pores clear.

  • 2. Use an astringent toner

    A toner with astringent ingredients like witch hazel can help remove excess oil and refine pores. Be sure to choose an alcohol-free product to avoid irritation.

  • 3. Light moisturizers

    Oily skin also needs moisture. Choose a lightweight, oil-free day and night cream that hydrates the skin without making it greasy. Products with hyaluronic acid are a good choice, as they provide moisture without clogging pores.

  • 4. Regular peeling

    Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and clear pores. Use products with salicylic acid or glycolic acid to penetrate deep into the pores and reduce excess sebum. Once or twice a week is sufficient.

  • 5. Sun protection

    Use a daily oil-free sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from UV rays. Make sure the sunscreen is non-comedogenic to avoid clogged pores.

  • 6. Mattifying products

    To control shine throughout the day, use mattifying products, such as primer or powder. These products absorb excess oil and provide a matte finish.

  • 7. Avoid excessive touching

    Try to touch your face as little as possible to prevent bacteria and dirt from entering your pores.

  • 8. Pay attention to your diet

    Avoid oily and sugary foods that can stimulate sebum production. A balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains can help keep your skin in balance.

  • 9. Drink enough water

    Keep your skin hydrated from within by drinking enough water. This will help maintain skin balance and keep it looking healthy.

EFFECTIVE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FOR FACIAL CARE WITH OILY SKIN

In skincare for oily skin, specific active ingredients play a crucial role. At DOC BERGER EFFECT, we rely on a combination of proven and innovative ingredients to effectively address the challenges of oily skin.

Salicylic Acid
A key ingredient in products such as our Foam Intense. Salicylic acid is known for its ability to penetrate deep into the pores and clear out excess sebum and impurities. It has anti-inflammatory properties and helps reduce acne and blemishes.

Retinol
A true multitasker in modern skincare, particularly effective for oily skin. Our Retinol Serum accelerates cell turnover, provides anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, and helps prevent clogged pores—making it highly effective for breakout-prone areas.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Found in our Anti-Aging 15% Fruit Acid Peeling, this ingredient is especially effective in regulating sebum production. Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, improves elasticity, and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.

Glycolic Acid
A type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid promotes skin renewal by gently exfoliating the outermost layer and stimulating the production of new, healthy skin cells. It is featured in both our Foam Intense and Anti-Aging 15% Fruit Acid Peeling, and is a key component in the effective care of oily skin.
