how do I make my skin not look so oily

aside from exfoliation, niacinamide, less oily sunscreen and hydrating products, u can also try using blotting paper during the day… if u are into make up, loose powder can also make the face look less oily! it works for me hope this work for u too!

Retinoids helped my skin, when it was oily back then. I went ahead and used straight up retinoic acid. It could be irritation to be honest 😂 but a low concentration of 0.05% is worth a try. Another downside other thatn irritation, is it will take like around 6 weeks for the effect to truly happen.

Niacinamide and foaming cleansers help. You can also use some setting powder on oily parts to keep it matte during the day

exfoliant & clay mask regularly. I found out that clay / mud mask is extremely great for oil control 😚😚

When my skin was oily I used the Tea Tree line from The Body Shop and it really helped me control oiliness. Specially the toner I think is a great option, it's both refreshing and mattifying.
