Oily skin: discover the ideal skincare routine
Oily skin is a skin type that requires an adapted skincare routine. Find out which products to use to care for your oily skin.
Oily skin is sensitive skin that requires special care and attention. The causes of oily skin are varied, but it is mainly due to a disturbance of the sebaceous glands, leading to an overproduction of sebum.
It's important to choose the right products to treat oily skin gently.
What products should I avoid if I have oily skin?
Certain types of products should be avoided when you have oily skin. In fact, all products containing alcohol, abrasive exfoliating and dehydrating products and those that clog pores should be banned from your skincare routine. Avoid pore-clogging cream formulas and leave-on products that leave an oily film on the skin.

What are the key ingredients for oily skin?
Certain ingredients are particularly recommended for oily and combination skin (link to article):
- Hyaluronic acid: helps restore the skin's natural moisture
- Niacinamide: a skin-soothing form of vitamin B3
- Ceramides: account for 50% of the skin's composition and help restore and maintain the skin's moisture barrier
- Zinc: ideal for reducing sebum secretion without making skin dry
- Vitamin B5: a moisturizing agent that helps restore the skin's barrier
To care for oily skin, we recommend the following skincare routine:
Nettoyer votre peau est essentiel et constitue la base de votre routine de soins. Chaque matin, nettoyez votre peau délicatement avec des produits non irritants. Cette première étape permet de nettoyer la peau de tout impureté et d’éliminer l’excès de sébum.
Le gel moussant de la gamme Sébium Bioderma est un nettoyant doux et purifiant qui absorbe le sébum et aide à prévenir l’apparition des pores obstrués.
The second step in your skincare routine for oily skin is to treat the skin.
Pore Refiner dermatological skincare from the Sebium range is a facial treatment that helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Non-comedogenic, it mattifies and refines skin texture.
Even if your skin is oily, it still needs daily moisturizing. In fact, when skin is dehydrated, the protective barrier no longer plays its role properly, leading to an overproduction of sebum.
Sébium Hydra nourishing and moisturizing care is recommended for oily skin. It deeply moisturizes the skin and reduces feelings of tightness.
Sun exposure plays an important role in sebum production and oily skin. Protecting your skin with the right sun protection is the final step in your skincare routine.
Photoderm Nude Touch sun care guarantees high protection and improves sebum quality.
Now that you know the ideal daytime skincare routine for oily skin, here are our tips for caring for your skin at night.
As with our daytime skincare routine, the first step in our nighttime skincare routine is to cleanse your face. This removes impurities and make-up accumulated during the day. Micellar water cleanses deeply without drying the skin. It effectively removes all traces of make-up.
Moisturizing is an important step that must not be neglected. Moisturize your skin after cleansing to reinforce the skin's protective barrier and avoid external aggressions.
Mat Control mattifying care promotes the appearance of a smooth complexion by reducing excess shine.
How do I apply make-up to oily skin?
As with skincare products, makeup should be chosen according to skin type. Opt for products that absorb excess sebum and have a mattifying effect. This allows the skin to breathe and avoids the appearance of shiny skin. Always choose non-comedogenic products.
