If you're someone who experiences acne, then the thought of an oil-based serum may have you feeling very unsure, but we're here to bust out some facts about oils for every skin type, including acne-prone skin. We're a Perth-based certified vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand and we love helping our community Australian-wide with their skin concerns, which is why we're writing about oil production and acne-prone skin. |
Why does acne-prone skin produce excess oil? |
Usually this is because your skin has an imbalance in moisture, which causes the skin to compensate for the lack of moisture by overproducing oil. |
What causes imbalances in moisture? |
There can be quite a few contributing factors such as environmental and the type of cleanser you use. Some cleansers can be quite harsh and strip your skin of its natural oils. |
How does oil help acne? |
Specifically, our oil-based serum and gel-based serum (Illuminate Glow Oil and Breakout Serum) help balance your skin's moisture and oil production. The Glow Oil will help re-hydrate your skin with skin-loving oils including essential fatty acids and Vitamin E to help soothe and repair your skin. The Breakout Serum helps repair your skin whilst absorbing excess sebum oil to maintain a healthy amount of natural oil. It also has antibacterial properties to help minimise future breakouts. We recommend using both of these serums together for the best results. |
Will my skin look oily if I use an oil-based serum? |
Our oil-based serum is a light-weight serum that absorbs quickly and is perfect to apply under your regular moisturiser. Instead of looking 'oily' your skin will feel conditioned and look more smooth.
