Having oily skin can be a challenge. The extra oil production can lead to breakouts, clogged pores, and an overall greasy feeling. But with the right care and ingredients, you can keep your oily skin healthy and balanced. Here are four of the best skincare ingredients for oily skin.

#1 Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that helps to exfoliate your skin and reduce excess oil production. It is also known for its ability to penetrate the skin’s pores, helping to clear away dirt and bacteria that can cause breakouts.

Additionally, salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, which can help to reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of acne breakouts.

Glycolic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is derived from sugar cane. This acid is beneficial for oily skin because it helps to break down dead skin cells, clear out clogged pores, and reduce excess oil production. It also helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

Additionally, it can reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Zinc oxide is a popular ingredient used in many skin care products, particularly those for oily or acne-prone skin. It helps to absorb excess oil, reduce shine, and keep skin looking matte. It also has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce inflammation associated with acne.

Additionally, zinc oxide can provide a physical barrier on the skin, helping to protect it from dirt, dust, and other environmental factors that can irritate the skin. Finally, it can help to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.

To try: Umbrella UV-Protection & Light-Diffusing Cream offers a mega dose of SPF70 sun protection that not only absorbs shine, it also protects skin for up to 240 minutes in the water.
