Oily Skin ≠ No Need for Hydration: Debunking the Most Common Oil-Control Myth
Many with oily skin wonder, "My face is already oily, do I still need to hydrate?"
In fact, excessive oil production is different from dehydrated skin. When the skin's underlying layers lack water, it produces more oil as a self-protective mechanism—so the more you try to control oil, the more oily your skin becomes.
The real key to oil control is hydration, which helps the skin achieve a balance of water and oil. The focus of oily skincare products should not just be on removing oil, but on providing effective hydration.

Texture: Lightweight is Key
Thick creams can easily clog pores. In summer, it's recommended to use watery serums or gel textures, which absorb quickly and are non-sticky.
Ingredients: Hydrating + Oil-Controlling
- Hyaluronic Acid: Essential for hydration; smaller molecules penetrate faster.
- Oil-Controlling Plant Extracts: Such as BHT leaves extract, which can regulate oil secretion.
- Soothing Ingredients: Calming ingredients can reduce sensitivity.
Form: Serum > Lotion > Cream
In summer, you can simplify your skincare routine; a serum might be enough. If more is needed, layer with a light lotion.
