Figuring out a skincare routine can be so complicated, and expensive. It's hard to know which products will work for you and it can get pretty pricey to shop for new treatments as you try to figure that out. If you have oily skin, you're in luck because I do too and I have used so many different types of products. I also have super sensitive skin, so finding products that address excess oil without irritating my face can be a tall order.
If you're looking for an effective routine, here are some of my must-haves that have been total game-changers for oily skin.
Game-Changing Products for Oily Skin
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, Facial Cleansing Oil, Makeup Remover, Cleanses without Clogging Pores, Residue-Free, Fragrance and Colorant Fre
You might be confused seeing an oil cleanser on my list of products to combat oily skin. To put it simply, like attracts like. Get excess oil off your face by starting your routine with an oil cleanse. Put it on your dry skin and gentle apply in circular motions. Then add the water. This is great to take off makeup and unclog pores, in my experience. Gently taking off makeup is critical to maintaining great skin and combating its oily tendencies.

Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Oil-Free Foundation Primer
Before applying makeup, put on a primer to create a smooth base. I have tried a ton of "mattifying" primers.

It creates a smooth surface for makeup application and I see a difference in my skin on the days when I forget to put it on. It has 236.5K+ Sephora Loves and 2,000+ 5-star Amazon reviews.
