Without further ado, let’s get into the miracle products!
1. Ole Henriksen Balancing Force Oil Control Toner
I’m someone who actually believes in the power of toner no matter what anyone else says. That extra layer of product has the power to do so much goodness to your pores.
This product is one of them. With a minty, cooling, and refreshing feeling, the eucalyptus in this toner will seep into your skin and prevent excess oil creation.
That being said, I always use this product in the morning before putting on moisturizer or sunscreen and I can tell a noticeable difference in how grease-free my skin is hours later.
2. Clinique Pore Refining Solution Stay Matte Hydrator
This is a product for oily skin that I’ve been using for literally the past 4-5 years. I’m probably on my 7th or 8th bottle of this to be honest.
As soon as I apply this and pat it into my skin, I notice a matte, smooth, and clear finish. My pores feel smaller and less noticeable and my face doesn’t get as shiny throughout the day. This is definitely a go-to product!
3. Belief The True Cream Aqua Bomb
Whoever said moisturizing makes you oilier was cray-cray! It’s a long-held myth that oily-skinned gals shouldn’t moisturize during the day.
At one point, I believed that, and my skin paid for it. No matter your skin type, you want to hydrate day and night with a good, grease-free formula.
One of my all-time favorite moisturizers for oily skin is this one. It’s a gel formula that is light weight and easily soaks into the skin.
I’ve found that this works great underneath makeup or even on its own. Even though it’s on the pricier side, this bad boy will last you a LONG time. A little bit goes a very long way.
Honestly, I’ll never fall out of love with this product anytime soon!
4. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Oh my gosh! The hype on this product is real. After purchasing this a long time ago, it kind of just ended up sitting on my vanity area. I never made the effort to really incorporate into my oily skincare routine.
That was a HUGE mistake! For the past month, I have been using this EVERY morning and OH MY GOSH!
This is a miracle product for those oily-skinned gals out there! Normally, I’d start getting shiny 30 minutes after doing my skincare routine.
With this product, my oil production is slashed by 80%! I’m being totally serious.
When I look at my face in the mirror, my pores are small, the shine is controlled, and my skin feels smoother and clearer.
I’ve always heard lots of good things about niacinamide from popular skincare Youtubers. Now, I get it!
People, this is a must! A MUST! As a plus, it’s literally only $6!!! Go for it ASAP and you won’t regret it!
5. Olay Regenerist Facial Brush
I’m a huge believer in the power of a facial brush. I’ve been using my Clarisonic Mia for the past 2-3 years and I honestly can’t live without it.
As someone with oily AND acne-prone skin, using a brush like that twice a day really cleans out the gunk and dirt from my greasy pores.
Sadly, Clarisonic is out of business now, so everyone is turning to the Olay version instead.
If you’ve got oily skin, this product will save your life. Not washing your face well enough can give you left over gunk in your pores. That not only causes acne, but it’ll give you bumpy texture too.
After hopping on the brush train, I’ll never go back. NEVER!
6. Fresh Umbrian Clay Mask
Everyone loves a good mask! Who wouldn’t? When you’ve got oily skin, anything purifying or clarifying will be right up your alley.
I absolutely love to use this mask a few times a week, especially when I feel like my skin is congested and extra greasy.
The clay ingredient will really bring out all the grossness from your pores and leave you with baby soft skin.
Sounds amazing, right? It is! As plus, you can even use this mask as an overnight spot treatment for any pimples may have.
7. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
We’ve already talked about a great day moisturizer. Now, let’s get into the heavier stuff.
Technically, you could use the same moisturizer day and night. But, oily-skinned gals may want a lighter moisturizer in the day. That’s always what I opt for.
BUT, when it comes to nighttime, I want something a bit thicker and more hydrating.
One of the best products for oily skin is this ultra-repair cream. It’s simple, universal, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy.
For the amount of product you get, the price is amazing! I’m already on my third tub of this stuff and I’ll never look back!
8. L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro Matte Primer
This one is for my makeup lovers out there. I never wear face makeup without putting a mattifying primer on.
Knowing how greasy my skin can get, this primer has been life-changing in taming my t-zone.
As a bonus, it’s super affordable and has never broken me out! This is definitely a product for oily skin you’ll need and want to try!
If you’ve been wondering how to tame your oily skin, I’ve just given you 8 of the best products for oily skin that are out there on the market.
From skincare all the way to makeup products, there is something on this list that any and every oily-skinned gal will love!
That being said, it’s time for you to get shopin and get mattified!
