Is hyaluronic acid good for oily skin?
Yes, hyaluronic acid is great for oily skin. It’s a lightweight humectant that attracts moisture without adding oil or clogging pores. It helps keep skin hydrated, which can actually reduce excess oil production over time.
How to know if you have oily skin?
You likely have oily skin if your face feels greasy a few hours after cleansing, especially around the forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone). You may also notice enlarged pores, frequent breakouts, or makeup sliding off during the day.
What does oily skin look like?
Oily skin often appears shiny or greasy, particularly in the T-zone. Pores tend to look larger, and you might experience more blackheads, whiteheads, or acne due to excess sebum.
Is salicylic acid good for oily skin?
Yes, salicylic acid is ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. It’s a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates pores to dissolve oil, unclog buildup, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts.
Why is my skin so oily in my 40s?
Even in your 40s, oily skin can result from hormonal fluctuations (like perimenopause), stress, or using harsh cleansers that strip natural oils. When skin feels dry, it compensates by producing more oil. Genetics and diet can also play a role.
