1. What is Oil on Your Skin Telling You? Oil produced from the sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands) definitely plays an important role in our skin. It moisturizes our skin, prevents our skin from drying out and aging too fast, and even lubricates the skin which protects our skin from external factors. However, when the oil becomes excessive and not taken care of, the journey to greasiness, breakouts, pigmentation, and acne begins. We know that an oily complexion is so hard to manage and can affect people of all ages and can cause blemishes, pimples, and other skin problems. 1) Do I have Oily Skin? Well, but are you sure if you have oily skin or not? Before we start treating our skin, we need to know whether we have oily skin.

Step 4. Serum Again two different product recommendation for day and night. For daycare, try adding a light-weight serum that can control the production of sebum with pore tightening effect.

But don’t worry, our [By ] Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advanced Serum is a non-sticky texture that even oily skin types love getting their hands on.

Another day, another slew of questions about the Korean approach to skincare. Last time she wrote us, Alicia Yoon (Peach & Lily's co-founder) took on the big themes: What's new? What's next? What is a pack and what do you do with it? Today she's back with a specific angle, as requested by you, the readers. The Korean skincare ethos revolves around constant hydration. So what's an acne-prone person to do? Alicia elaborates:
In my Top Shelf, I shared a lot about my Korean skincare routine—and a lot about my dry skin. I have eczema, so many of my personal products are great for those who find it difficult to keep skin hydrated. But that's just my experience—interestingly, Peach & Lily receives the highest amount of consultation requests from those with oily/acne-prone skin. So I want to share the top 10 Korean tips to care for oily or acne-prone skin based on my experience with customers and one of our most recent surveys in Korea. Plus product recommendations, because that's the fun part.
Korean Skincare Routine For Oily Skin
Stay hydrated. Don’t let dehydrated skin lead to excess sebum production. Invest in a good lightweight serum with a great humectant, like hyaluronic acid (holds 1000x times its weight in water), to keep skin hydrated and balanced. Also, harshly formulated cleansers can leave skin stripped dry or weaken the skin barrier—a thoughtful formulation like the Dr. Jart Dermaclear Micro Water is intended to be gentle on the skin barrier to prevent dehydration.
Keep your skin pH well-balanced. A pH of about 5.5 helps keep the skin barrier healthy and strong, keeping bacteria out and moisture in. Toner is the best thing to keep an unbalanced pH in check. Now, take a toner that
Curbs sebum production without stripping skin dry, and you're golden. Be the Skin Pore Toner (and the Botanical Pore Serum) is a holy grail product for overactive oil glands. The proprietary blend of botanicals and herbs indigenous to Asia will leave you matte with a slight dewy glow.
How To Treat Oily Skin
Exfoliate regularly. Koreans tend to opt for more frequent and gentler exfoliation than what I've seen in the States. The thought is that consistently exfoliating 2-3 times a week versus aggressive exfoliation once every few weeks can be far more effective and keep skin healthier. For those with oily skin, BHAs are the ingredient to look for because they can penetrate more easily through oil. One of my favorites is the popular CosRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid. It’s powerful without being harsh, and it hydrates with hyaluronic acid. After the first couple of uses, you might experience one of those “it gets worse before it gets better” episodes. BHA has a tendency to encourage newly forming acne to surface more quickly, yet also to heal more quickly.
Use oils. Using an oil-based cleanser to remove oil-based impurities is crucial for all skin types, but especially helpful for oily skin. And using face oils can actually be good for the skin barrier as the oils you put on the skin and the oils released through the skin aren’t one and the same. For oily skin types, jojoba oil, aloe vera essential oil and tea tree oil are some of my favorite picks.
Water-based creams. Korean women with oily skin seem to love water-based lightweight creams. One hundred percent of oily-skin type Korean women polled said that they opt for products like Laneige's Water Bank Moisture Cream because the heavy oil-based creams invariably cause too much shine after a good night’s rest.

Sheet mask regularly. The intensive hydration and nourishment that sheet masks can provide both help hydrate skin (see tip #1) and, depending on the active ingredient, can help with sebum production, refining texture (those with oily skin tend to complain more about leathery, thicker-looking skin), and firming up pores. My all-time favorite sheet mask is great for all skin types, and soothing for those with breakouts or irritated skin.
Treat pores with extreme care. Since oil traps impurities in pores like sticky glue, using oil-based cleansers and products formulated to gently draw out impurities from deep within the pores are a must-use. The brand Caolion has a series of pore packs that have taken Korea by storm. The Steam Pack heats up upon application to clear out pores and is a good fit for oily skin (The O2 Pack has similar results, but is better suited for dry skin). The third one—the Pore Minimizing Pack—has more of a menthol-y feel and works for dry and oily skin. That said, all three are on the gentle side. But nevertheless effective!
