What should you know about SkinKraft products for oily skin?

Sebum is an oil made by the skin's glands. Excess shine may be most visible on the forehead, nose, and chin, but oily skin can still become dehydrated or irritated. Heavy products, hormones, heat, stress, and some medicines can affect oiliness. Oily skin does not automatically mean acne, although excess oil can combine with dead skin cells and block follicles. Persistent spots may fit [Acne](/conditions/acne/) or [Hormonal Acne](/conditions/hormonal-acne/); greasy scale around the nose, brows, or scalp may suggest [Seborrheic Dermatitis](/conditions/seborrheic-dermatitis/).

Cleanse gently after waking and before bed, then use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen in the daytime and choose textures that feel comfortable enough to use consistently. Introduce one new product at a time and patch-test when practical. Avoid harsh scrubbing, repeated washing, and alcohol-heavy products that leave the face tight; irritation can make a routine harder to tolerate. If breakouts persist, a dermatologist may recommend a proven acne treatment rather than relying on a product label. Prescription [Isotretinoin Treatment](/treatments/medical-dermatology/isotretinoin-therapy/) requires medical supervision and pregnancy-safety counselling.

Book a dermatology appointment for painful deep spots, scarring, sudden severe oiliness, a persistent itchy rash, or symptoms that do not improve with a gentle routine. Seek prompt care for swelling around the eyes, widespread blistering, or a severe reaction after a product. Bring the ingredient lists and a note of when each product was started; this helps identify irritation, allergy, or a separate condition.

Which ingredients fit my skin and current acne pattern? Is my shine accompanied by dehydration or dermatitis? Which product should I stop first if I become irritated? Do I need prescription treatment, and what safety checks apply?
