Korean skincare is globally celebrated for its innovative formulations and high-quality ingredients. However, finding the right Korean skincare products for oily skin can sometimes be challenging. If you're dealing with excess oil, breakouts, or unwanted shine, Korean beauty offers a range of solutions specifically designed for oily skin types.
In this blog, we’ll explore some of the best Korean skincare products for oily skin and provide product suggestions from our collection at Lamcy Korea to help you achieve a balanced, healthy complexion.
1. Double Cleansing for Oily Skin
A proper skincare routine begins with double cleansing, especially for those with oily skin. Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and sebum, followed by a water-based foaming cleanser for a deeper clean.
Product Suggestion: COSRX Low pH Good Morning Cleanser
This gentle cleanser balances pH while effectively removing impurities, leaving your skin clean and refreshed without stripping it of moisture.
2. Toners to Balance Sebum Production
After cleansing, toners help restore your skin’s pH balance and control excess oil. Toners with ingredients like tea tree, witch hazel, and BHA are ideal for oily skin.
Product Suggestion: Some By Mi AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner
This toner helps unclog pores, control oil production, and reduce breakouts, making it perfect for oily, acne-prone skin.
3. Essences and Serums for Hydration and Oil Control
Oily skin still needs hydration! Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic essences and serums with ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to balance oil and provide hydration without clogging pores.
Product Suggestion: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
This essence hydrates and soothes skin, while the snail mucin promotes healing without adding excess oil.
4. Oil-Free Moisturizers for Lightweight Hydration
Hydration is key, but the right moisturizer for oily skin should be oil-free and lightweight. Gel-based moisturizers are ideal, as they provide hydration without feeling greasy.
Product Suggestion: Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cream
This moisturizer uses the power of green tea to hydrate and balance oily skin, leaving it refreshed and shine-free.
5. SPF for Oily Skin
Sun protection is essential for all skin types. Oily skin types should opt for matte, non-greasy sunscreens to protect without adding shine.
Product Suggestion: Missha All Around Safe Block Soft Finish Sun Milk
This lightweight SPF provides broad-spectrum protection while leaving a matte, shine-free finish.
6. Exfoliators and Masks
Regular exfoliation helps prevent clogged pores and keeps your skin smooth. Chemical exfoliators like BHA can target oil buildup, while clay masks absorb excess oil and tighten pores.
Product Suggestion: Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
This powerful clay mask draws out impurities and controls oil, leaving your skin smooth and clear.
