Collection: Skincare For Oily Skin

Oily skin is caused by an excess of sebum, your skin's natural oil. This oil gland under your skin protects and keeps your skin from drying out too much, but it can overproduce at times. Although there is no single cause for oily skin, age, weather, and lifestyle choices can all play a role. But don't worry. Credo has the perfect solution with an extensive line of clean skincare for oily skin that will keep those pores from clogging up.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How are clean products for oily skin different from natural or organic options?
    Organic products for oily skin must meet strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture via the USDA Organic program. Natural options may use natural or naturally derived ingredients, but do not have a standardized legal definition. Clean skin care for oily skin also isn't legally defined. This is why, at Credo Beauty, we vet all of our products to ensure they meet The Credo Clean Standard™ - which avoids over 2700 ingredients that may be harmful to your health or the environment.
  • How do clean products for oily skin differ from regular products?
    At Credo Beauty, our strict standards and vetting process ensure that the clean oily skin products we offer are not only effective but also safer and more sustainable than conventional options. The Credo Clean Standard™ prohibits 2700+ ingredients that are linked to negative health or environmental impacts. Additionally, we enforce various sustainability and packaging requirements to minimize the environmental footprint of our products.
  • What are the key ingredients to look for in clean products for oily skin?
    When looking for clean products for oily skin, you should seek out natural ingredients such as salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and witch hazel, as these all help to control excess oil production without stripping your skin’s natural oils and moisture. You should always try to avoid harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and pore-clogging oils, as these can increase oil production and cause irritation when applied to your skin. As we consistently strive to push for greater transparency throughout the industry, we want to make ingredients as easy as possible to spot.
  • Can clean products still effectively treat oily skin?
    Clean skin care for oily skin is just as effective and results-driven as regular oily skin products. You’ll often find high-quality, clean ingredients such as bentonite clay and activated charcoal in a clean oily skin treatment. These ingredients help to effectively absorb excess oil and impurities while unclogging pores, all without over-drying your skin.
  • Are clean products safe for daily use on oily skin?
    As the products we stock exclude the many potentially harmful ingredients itemized on our Dirty List, they are safer for daily use. They’re made from natural and skin-friendly ingredients that are safer for your skin and can easily be incorporated into your daily skin care routine. It’s important to ensure you properly cleanse and moisturize oily skin to maintain a healthy balance and help control oil production. Clean products help you do exactly this, without causing any irritation or harm to your skin.
  • Can using clean products for oily skin help prevent breakouts?
    Clean skin care products help control excess oil production, which is often one of the main causes of an acne breakout. Excess oil can lead to clogged pores, but the gentle, non-comedogenic ingredients found in clean products are well known for their ability to reduce the likelihood of clogged pores and acne from occurring. They also contain natural ingredients such as witch hazel, which helps to prevent future breakouts from occurring by tightening the pores and minimizing shine.
  • Are there any specific tips for using clean products on oily skin?
    When using clean skin care for oily skin, there are a few tips to follow to maximize the benefits you experience. For example, incorporating an exfoliation product into your skin care routine will enable you to easily and gently remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. You should also look for clean lightweight products with a non-greasy texture, as these will help hydrate your skin without adding excess oil or clogging pores.
  • Can oily skin benefit from using natural oils in clean products?
    It’s important to remember that not all oils are bad for oily skin. Some natural oils actually help regulate oil production and nourish your skin, as they have anti-inflammatory properties and can help balance the skin’s sebum production. Skin care for oily skin that contains natural oils such as jojoba oil, rosehip oil, grapeseed oil, or other non-comedogenic natural oils are all great choices, as they mimic your skin’s natural sebum, resulting in a decrease in oil production. They also have other benefits for oily skin, such as helping maintain a healthy skin barrier and soothing irritation.
