Oil creates a protective barrier for your skin, but too much of it can lead to blemishes and leave your complexion more greasy than glowing. If you have oily skin, the idea of adding a moisturizer might seem like it'll make things worse. But water is quite different from oil, and your skin needs both to stay healthy looking. Skipping moisturizer, especially in your morning or evening skincare ritual, could lead to even more oil production to compensate for the lack of hydration.
To guide you on your journey to healthy looking, beautiful skin, we debunk some common myths about oily skin and tell you why it’s so important to keep moisturizer—not to mention face sunscreen—in your daily skincare routine.

Care for oily skin: 4 myths debunked
Myth 1: Oily skin needs a strong cleanser.
All About Clean Liquid Facial Soap, All About Clean Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser
A good skincare regimen for any skin type starts with a gentle cleanser that clears away the dirt, debris, and oil that’s settled onto your skin. For oily or combination oily skin, choose the refreshing and quick-rinsing All About Clean Liquid Facial Soap Oily Skin formula.
Prefer a foamier formula? Reach for All About Clean Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser, which is non-drying and non-stripping, leaving skin feeling comfortable and clean.
Myth 2: Cleansing twice a day is enough to get rid of oil.
Lotion clarifiante 3
A clean face means you’re off to a great start, but oily skin can still have some sebum and residue left behind after rinsing off your cleanser. That’s why it's a good idea to add an exfoliator like Clarifying Lotion 3 to your twice-daily routine to remove the rest of it. Pour or pump out a bit on a cotton ball and swipe across your skin, paying special attention to extra oily areas like your T-zone, to leave skin looking and feeling fresh.
Myth 3: Oily skin doesn’t need a moisturizer.
Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator
Oily skin still needs hydration. While it's fine to pass on the thicker products formulated for dry skin, you can choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer instead. Our Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is oil-free and leaves oily skin feeling balanced and refreshed.
For even more intense moisture in an oil-fee formula, try the Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. It contains aloe bioferment and hyaluronic acid, plus vitamins C and E, and provides long-lasting hydration.
Myth 4: Facial sunscreen makes skin even oilier.
Crème visage non-grasse FPS 30 à large spectre
Perhaps you’ve used sunscreens in the past that have only made matters worse for your oily skin. That’s no reason to overlook the sun protection part of your morning skincare routine. Instead, choose a product appropriate for oily skin, like Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen Oil-Free Face Cream. The cream formula absorbs quickly, plus it’s non-acnegenic, so it won't cause breakouts.
For skin that looks dewy instead of slick, you’ll need to incorporate the right kind of products into your daily routine. By adding Clinique's products for oily skin, you can add hydration for healthier looking, balanced skin.
