The Best Skincare Routine for Oily Skin: Balance and Control Without Stripping

Introduction

Oily skin often means excess shine, clogged pores, and an increased risk of breakouts. But the solution isn’t harsh cleansers or skipping moisturiser—it’s balance. The right products will regulate oil production, keep pores clear, and maintain hydration without leaving your skin greasy. At Pt78 Skin and Body, our vegan, cruelty free skincare is crafted from Australian botanicals to restore balance naturally. To complement this, our SkinCeuticals range offers dermatologist-developed solutions that are globally trusted for oily and acne-prone skin.

Step 1: Purify with the Right Cleanser

Cleansers designed for oily skin remove excess sebum while keeping the barrier intact.

• Pt78 Foaming Cleanser: A gel-based cleanser with Jojoba and Avocado Oils to gently clear pores and purify without over-drying.

• SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser: Combines amino acid surfactants with calming botanicals to deeply cleanse while soothing.

Step 2: Balance with Active Serums

Lightweight serums are the powerhouse for keeping oil under control and refining texture.

• Pt78 Shine Control Anti-Ageing Serum: With Pomegranate Seed Oil, Quercus, and peptides, it regulates oil, smooths texture, and helps reduce fine lines.

• SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Serum: A Vitamin C antioxidant serum designed specifically for oily and blemish-prone skin.

Step 3: Lightweight Moisturisation

Yes—even oily skin needs moisturiser. Skipping it can actually increase oiliness.

• Pt78 Matte+ Balancing Moisturiser: A shine-controlling formula with Grape Seed Oil, Licorice Root, and Quandong to hydrate without heaviness.

• SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B3: Helps refine pores, improve tone, and provide oil-balancing hydration with Niacinamide.

Step 4: Weekly Clarifying Treatments

A good mask once or twice a week can help reset oily skin.

• Pt78 Cut + Polish Mask: Exfoliates with fruit enzymes and clays for clearer, smoother skin.

• SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque: Draws out impurities and absorbs excess oil with natural clays and minerals.

Step 5: Daily Sun Protection

Sun exposure can worsen oil production and lead to long-term damage.

• SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF 50: Broad-spectrum sun protection that feels lightweight on oily skin.
