Frequently Asked Questions

How to reduce excess sebum in male skin?
To reduce sebum: use a cleanser with salicylic acid or niacinamide morning and evening, apply a toner with niacinamide, choose an oil-free gel moisturizer. Avoid washing your face too often: dry skin produces even more sebum to compensate.
Does oily skin need moisturization?
Yes, absolutely. Even oily skin needs hydration. If not moisturized, the skin produces more sebum to compensate. Choose lightweight gel moisturizers with hyaluronic acid, which hydrate without clogging pores.
What ingredients to avoid for oily men's skin?
Avoid: heavy oils (coconut oil, shea butter), denatured alcohol (dries but irritates), synthetic fragrances, occlusive silicones. Prefer ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, zinc, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera.
How often to exfoliate oily male skin?
For oily skin, chemical exfoliation with salicylic acid 2-3 times a week is ideal. Avoid aggressive physical scrubs that can irritate and stimulate even more sebum. Regular exfoliation keeps pores clean and reduces blemishes.
