About Oily skin
Oily skin isn't a problem to strip away. It's skin producing more sebum than it needs, usually made worse by harsh washing and skipped moisturizer. These oily skin care products control shine by working with your skin rather than against it. From Rs. 1,200, with cash on delivery across Pakistan.
Why oily skin gets oilier
Strong, squeaky-clean face washes remove oil, but they also damage the skin barrier. Dehydrated skin then produces more oil to compensate, which is why shine often returns by midday. The fix is a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturizer and one active that regulates oil at the source.
Your oily skin routine
| Step | Product | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Cleanse | Foaming Facial Cleanser | Ceramide foaming face wash that removes sebum without the tight, stripped feeling |
| Treat | 10% Niacinamide Serum | 10% niacinamide reduces how much oil your skin makes and makes pores look smaller |
| Moisturize | Oil Free Moisturizing Lotion (Normal to Oily) | Our lightest, oil-free, non-comedogenic texture |
| Protect | Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50 | Non-comedogenic and light enough for heat and humidity |
| Exfoliate (2–3 evenings) | Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution | Clears the dead-cell buildup that dulls oily skin and clogs pores |
Choosing a face wash for oily skin
Look for a cleanser that foams gently and leaves skin comfortable, not tight. The Foaming Facial Cleanser is formulated for exactly this. If you also get blackheads or breakouts, the Acne Control Cleanser (2% Salicylic Acid) adds 2% salicylic acid, which dissolves oil inside the pore.
Do you need moisturizer and sunblock for oily skin?
Yes. A water-light moisturizer tells your skin it doesn't need to overproduce oil, so shine usually improves within a couple of weeks. Sunblock matters just as much: UV darkens post-acne marks and breaks down the barrier. Both SPF 50 and SPF 70 here are oil-free and won't clog pores.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best face wash for oily skin in Pakistan?
A gentle foaming cleanser that removes oil without stripping. The Foaming Facial Cleanser is Rs. 2,000 for 237 ml. Choose the salicylic acid cleanser instead if you also have blackheads.
Which serum is best for oily skin?
Niacinamide at 10%. It regulates sebum, makes pores look smaller and fades post-acne marks. Rs. 1,720 for 30 ml.
Will moisturizer make my oily skin oilier?
Not if it is oil-free and non-comedogenic. Skipping moisturizer usually makes oily skin produce more oil, not less.
How often should I wash oily skin?
Twice a day, morning and evening. Washing more often strips the barrier and triggers more oil.
