Skin concerns

Excess oil

Shine through the day, a slick T-zone, makeup that slides: oiliness is common with acne-prone skin, and the instinct is often to strip it away.

What can play a part

Why it happens

  • Skin type and genetics
  • Heat and humidity
  • Hormonal changes
  • Over-cleansing, which can leave skin feeling tight and uncomfortable

This is general skincare information, not a diagnosis. Persistent, severe or painful skin concerns are worth discussing with a clinician.

The AcneologyHQ approach

Where the routine fits

Oily skin still needs hydration. The Oil-Free Hydrating Gel gives moisture with zero oil, from hyaluronic acid, betaine and watercress extract.

The Purifying Toner comes first: it lifts away excess sebum and clears pores of trapped oil.
