Skincare for oily skin – cleanse, hydrate and balance
Oily skin doesn't need stronger and more drying skincare – it needs a well-thought-out routine that cleanses excess sebum, keeps pores clear, and maintains skin comfort. In this collection, you'll find Yellow Rose skincare for oily, shiny, and impure skin, as well as skin with clogged or visible pores.
Choose from cleansers, toners, salicylic acid, light mattifying moisturizers, spot serums, masks, and sun protection with a dry-touch finish. The products can be combined into a complete routine or selected according to the skin's current needs and tolerance.
What is oily skin?
Oily skin produces more sebum than the skin needs. Sebum is a natural and important part of the skin's protection, but when production is high, the skin can appear shiny and pores may feel more clogged.
Oily skin is often characterized by:
- shine across the entire face or primarily in the T-zone;
- visible or enlarged pores;
- blackheads and clogged pores;
- recurrent blemishes and impurities;
- uneven or coarser skin texture;
- makeup that doesn't last as well throughout the day;
- an oily feeling shortly after cleansing.
Oily skin can also be dehydrated. If the skin is cleansed too aggressively or exfoliated too often, it may start to feel tight, sensitive, or irritated even though it still appears shiny. Therefore, even oily skin needs to be moisturized.
Which products are suitable for oily skin?
Face Wash For Oily Skin – daily cleansing
Yellow Rose Face Wash For Oily Skin is a cleansing gel for normal to oily, shiny, and impure skin. It helps to remove makeup residue, dirt, impurities, and excess sebum without the cleansing routine feeling harsh.
Use it morning and evening as the first step. The product is available in different sizes and is suitable for both regular home care and professional use.
Astringente Lotion – toner for oily skin
Yellow Rose Astringente Lotion 200 ml is an astringent and refreshing toner with witch hazel, zinc, alcohol, and menthol.
It is suitable for oily and combination skin that easily becomes shiny and where pores appear more prominent. Apply after cleansing and avoid the eye area. If the skin becomes dry or tight, reduce the frequency of use.
Salicylic Purifying & Brightening Lotion 5%
Yellow Rose Salicylic Purifying & Brightening Lotion 5% is an active choice for oily, combination, and impure skin with clogged pores, oiliness, uneven texture, or marks from blemishes.
The formula contains 1.95% salicylic acid, 2.05% succinic acid, and 1% hydroxyphenoxy propionic acid. It helps to balance the feeling of oiliness, keep pores cleaner, and give the skin a clearer and more even appearance.
Start 1–2 evenings a week if your skin is new to acids. Gradually increase as tolerated and always use sun protection during the day.
Clarifying & Brightening Lotion 5% PHA
Yellow Rose Clarifying & Brightening Lotion 5% PHA is suitable when the skin needs milder exfoliation.
The alcohol-free formula contains 5% PHA, 1% niacinamide, and prebiotics. It is also suitable for skin with visible pores and uneven texture that does not tolerate stronger AHA or BHA products as well.
Do not use PHA lotion and Salicylic Lotion in the same routine initially. Choose one of them and evaluate how your skin reacts.
Clear Spot Serum – spot serum for blemishes
Yellow Rose Clear Spot Serum 20 ml is developed for local application on individual pimples, blemishes, and areas with increased oiliness.
The serum contains salicylic acid as well as trace elements of zinc, magnesium, and copper. Apply only to the affected area and combine carefully with other acids or retinoids.
Creme Hydratante Normalisante – light moisturizer
Yellow Rose Creme Hydratante Normalisante 50 ml is a light and mattifying face cream for oily skin.
The formula combines sebum-regulating microspheres with salicylic acid, zinc, ichthyol, and plant extracts. It helps the skin feel hydrated and comfortable without a heavy or greasy finish and works well under makeup.
Retinol Serum – for texture, marks and renewal
Yellow Rose Retinol Serum 20 ml can be used as a more advanced evening step when oily skin also has uneven texture, marks, dullness, or signs of skin aging.
Introduce retinol gradually and do not use it on the same evening as salicylic acid, PHA, or AHA initially. Sun protection is mandatory during the day.
SPF50 Silk & Dry Touch – sun protection for oily skin
Yellow Rose Hyaluronic Sun Care Fluid SPF50 Silk & Dry Touch 50 ml has a light, fast-absorbing texture and a silky dry-touch finish.
It is particularly well-suited for normal, combination, and oily skin that does not tolerate heavy or sticky sunscreens. Use as the last step every morning, especially when the routine includes acids or retinol.
Face masks for oily skin and visible pores
Natural Green Clay Mask
Yellow Rose Natural Green Clay Mask contains natural green clay and is suitable for younger, combination, and oily skin. It helps to absorb excess sebum and gives the skin a cleaner and more matte feel.
Masque Astringent
Yellow Rose Masque Astringent combines kaolin and bentonite with witch hazel, zinc, menthol, and chlorophyll. It is suitable for skin with shiny areas, excess sebum, and visible pores.
Eucalyptus Mask
Yellow Rose Eucalyptus Mask is a clay-based mask for oily and impure skin with a tendency for blackheads, clogged pores, and shine.
Purifying Enzymatic Face Mask
Yellow Rose Purifying Enzymatic Face Mask combines absorbent clay with enzymatic exfoliation. It is suitable when the skin feels clogged, uneven, and in need of more intensive cleansing.
Choose a mask according to your skin's needs and typically use 1–2 times a week. Multiple deep-cleansing masks do not need to be used in the same week.
Complementary products for pores and skin texture

- combining salicylic acid, AHA, PHA, and retinol on the same evening;
- using deep-cleansing masks every day;
- scrubbing inflamed pimples and blemishes;
- choosing a heavy or greasy sunscreen that feels uncomfortable;
- expecting pores to disappear permanently;
- treating severe or inflamed acne solely with cosmetic products.
Victoria's professional advice
The most common mistake I see with oily skin is trying to dry it out. The skin initially feels clean and matte, but can later become tight, sensitive, and even more imbalanced. Therefore, start with a simple routine: cleansing, light moisturizer, and sunscreen.
Then add an active product based on the most important need. Choose salicylic acid for clogged pores and clear oiliness, PHA for more sensitive skin, AHA for uneven texture and older marks, or retinol when you also want to work on texture and skin aging.
Give the routine time. Use the same basic products regularly and evaluate your skin after at least four weeks before adding more active steps.
Frequently asked questions about skincare for oily skin
Does oily skin need moisturizer?
Yes. Oily skin can also be dehydrated. Choose a light face cream that provides comfort without a heavy or oily finish, such as Creme Hydratante Normalisante.
Which acid is best for oily skin?
Salicylic acid is often a good choice for excess sebum and clogged pores because it is oil-soluble. PHA is better when the skin needs milder exfoliation. AHA is primarily used for uneven texture, dullness, and visible marks.
Can I use salicylic acid every day?
Salicylic Purifying & Brightening Lotion is developed for regular use, but start 1–2 times a week if your skin is new to acids. Increase only if the skin remains comfortable.
Can I combine salicylic acid and retinol?
Introduce them on different evenings. Using both at the same time can increase the risk of dryness and irritation, especially if the skin is not used to active ingredients.
How often should I use a clay mask?
A clay mask can typically be used 1–2 times a week. Use it less frequently if your skin starts to feel dry, tight, or irritated.
Is oily skin the same as acne?
No. Oily skin can have high sebum production without having acne. Acne is a skin condition that can include blackheads, inflamed pimples, pustules, or deeper lesions.
When do I need to seek professional help?
Contact a dermatologist or healthcare provider for painful, inflamed, deep, or scarring acne. Cosmetic products can complement skincare but do not replace medical assessment or treatment.
Does oily skin need sun protection?
Yes. All skin types need sun protection. Opt for a light fluid with a dry-touch finish if traditional sunscreens feel too heavy or greasy.
