Always shiny and prone to blemishes, congestion and visible pores? You might have oily skin. The good news? Getting your skin’s oil production under control isn’t as hard as you might think. 

Here are the top three skincare ingredients to add to your routine.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

When skin lacks moisture, your skin barrier compensates by producing extra oil that may clog your pores, dull your complexion, and lead to congestion and breakouts. This is where Niacinamide enters; a barrier-loving ingredient known to prevent moisture loss in the skin and help balance excess oil production. Adding this ingredient will ensure your skin is left feeling hydrated and perfectly balanced.

Find this in our best-selling Ultra B² Hydrating Serum.

Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Salicylic Acid works by exfoliating dead cells and build-up from the skin’s surface to de-clog pores and allow natural oils to flow. Clogged pores (an oily skin perk),will often lead to uneven texture and congestion, on top of that, your complexion may appear dull, textured and prone to blemishes. Adding this ingredient over time will help visibly minimize the appearance of large, visible pores and leave your complexion soft, smooth and supple.

Find it in our latest innovation, Resurfacing and Pore Refining Serum.

Silica

An understated skincare ingredient, but an essential to keep your shine at bay. Silica is a mattifier that can help reduce shininess by absorbing excess oil from the skin’s surface. Its absorbent properties also give the skin a smooth, velvety finish and can prevent your makeup from sliding off during the day.
