SKINCARE FOR OILY SKIN

LIGHTWEIGHT, NON-GREASY PRODUCTS FOR OILY SKIN TYPES

Oily skin is usually more apparent in areas such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin). We at La Roche-Posay have developed a variety of products recommended by dermatologists, providing different care to different areas for oily skin.

Should oily skin types use moisturiser?

Yes, oily skin types should use moisturiser. Choosing a moisturiser that is suitable for oily skin types will help moisturise the skin without sitting too heavily on the skin’s surface. Oily skin types can sometimes be lacking hydration and produce excess sebum to compensate the lack of hydration. To avoid this, use a facial moisturiser like the Effaclar Matte Anti-Shine Moisturiser that can hydrate the skin while leaving a mattifying effect.
