Oily Skin

Oily skin is usually the result of overactive sebaceous glands producing excess sebum. Genetics, hormones, climate, and stress can all play a role in oil production.

Common signs include visible shine (especially in the T-zone), enlarged pores, and makeup that doesn’t stay put. If your skin feels greasy just hours after cleansing, it’s likely oily.

Cleansing twice daily with a gentle, foaming, or gel-based cleanser works best. Youth To The People’s Superfood Cleanser balances skin while removing dirt, oil, and impurities—without stripping.

The best ingredients for oily skin include niacinamide, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid. These help regulate oil, clear pores, and keep skin hydrated without clogging.

Skipping moisturizer can make your skin produce even more oil to compensate. Opt for lightweight, oil-free hydrators like Youth To The People’s Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream.

Absolutely. Oily skin can lack water while still producing excess oil. That’s why hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid are key—they quench skin without clogging pores.

YTTP’s Superfood Cleanser, Kombucha + 10% AHA Power Exfoliant, and Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream are customer favorites for oily skin. These non-comedogenic, lightweight formulas are made to balance oil and improve skin health.
