Frequently Asked Questions
Should oily skin use a cleansing oil?
Yes — oil dissolves oil. A good cleansing oil removes sebum plugs better than foaming cleansers, without triggering more oil production.
Does moisturizer make oily skin worse?
No — skipping it does. Dehydrated skin overproduces oil to compensate. Use a lightweight gel-cream.
How do I make pores smaller?
Pore size is genetic, but BHA keeps them clear and light-reflecting ingredients make them look visibly refined.
