Oily Skin and Shine: Clinic Treatments for Sebum Control
Calming shine without stripping the skin
Oily skin can mean midday shine, makeup that slides and pores that clog easily. Harsh products often make it worse by drying the surface. Clinic treatments can reduce oil production more gently and evenly. Here are the main options.
Key takeaways
- Skin Botox: tiny doses reduce oil and shine for a few months.
- Peels: salicylic acid peels clear oil from pores.
- Lasers: some lasers help oil and pore size over time.
- Skincare: gentle cleansing and light moisturiser still matter.
- Avoid: over-washing, which can increase oiliness.
