Oily Skin Treatments

People with oily skin often have the worst problems with teenage and adult acne. The excess skin oil, called sebum, often mixes with dead skin cells and clogs pores. This creates a place where bacteria can grow inside the pore, which leads to the inflamed spots that we easily recognize as pimples. The type of pimples can vary significantly, but the source is often the same. Extremely oily skin makes it hard for individuals to eliminate blackheads and whiteheads because the oil keeps clogging the pores over and over again. Proactiv, however, makes products that are specially designed for oily skin.

Preventing Acne in Oily Skin

Those with oily skin need a product that will dry up oil without causing excessive dryness. This is a fine line to walk, so you need a reliable product that dries up oil while keeping skin healthy. Many people find that the New Proactiv 3-Step System PLUS Daily Oil Control & Oil Free Moisture works well for them. This kit includes a non-comedogenic oil-free lotion that helps remove excess oil from your skin. This helps prevent pimples while simultaneously preventing shiny skin that is associated with excess oil.

Even if you have oily skin, you can still have problems with dryness while using acne treatments. Therefore you may benefit from a product that will moisturize the skin without adding oil. Many moisturizers that you find at the drug store cannot meet this goal because they themselves contain oils. The Proactiv Oil-Free Moisture with SPF 15, however, hydrates skin without causing oiliness. This allows you to have balanced, healthy skin that is free from acne.

Proactiv Products for Oily Skin

Proactiv’s oil blotter sheets, for instance, are an easy way to remove excess oil throughout the day. Some people choose to use these blotters before important meetings. That way they can eliminate oily skin shine when looks matter most. They are easy to carry and convenient to use. It’s as simple as blotting your face with a tissue.

This product is designed for daily use, so most people with oily skin don’t have to worry about side effects. Still, it is important to follow directions closely. This non-comedogenic formula comes in two sizes (1.7 ounce and 2.5 ounce bottles), so you can purchase the one that is right for you.

If oil causes significant shine on your face, then you might also want to consider using Proactiv’s Sheer Finish Mattifying Gel. This product prevents oily skin and eliminates shine quickly. Just apply a small amount as needed and your face will not have that shine that people with oily skin commonly experience. Choose to use it on a daily basis or reserve the product for special occasions when you want to look your best.
