Collection: Oily Skin & Sebum Control

Why oily skin needs balance, not aggressive drying

Oily skin is often treated with harsh products that aim to remove all traces of oil. However, this approach frequently backfires. When the skin is stripped of moisture, it compensates by producing even more oil. Korean skincare recognizes this cycle and approaches oily skin with a philosophy of balance rather than elimination.

The goal is not to remove oil completely, but to regulate sebum production while keeping the skin properly hydrated and comfortable. This is why Korean routines for oily skin often combine pore-refining ingredients with lightweight hydration.

How excess sebum affects the appearance of pores and texture

Sebum is a natural substance that protects the skin, but when produced in excess, it can accumulate inside pores along with dead skin cells and impurities. This buildup makes pores appear larger and the skin texture look uneven.

Korean skincare frequently uses ingredients such as niacinamide and salicylic acid to help manage this buildup gently, improving how the skin looks without damaging the barrier.

Why hydration is essential even for oily skin

Many people with oily skin avoid moisturizers, believing they will worsen shine. In reality, oily skin can often be dehydrated. When the skin lacks water, it signals the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Korean routines solve this by introducing lightweight hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid that maintain moisture without heaviness.

Hydrated oily skin looks smoother, more refined and less shiny over time.

How Korean routines help refine the look of pores

Pore appearance is closely linked to oil production and congestion. By combining ingredients that balance oil with gentle exfoliation and soothing care, Korean skincare gradually improves the appearance of pores. This approach avoids irritation while supporting a clearer complexion.
