Facial
Cleansers
for Oily Skin
Choosing the right facial cleanser is an important first step in any skincare routine for oily skin. Cleansing daily with a gentle foaming cleanser for oily skin can help keep your skin feeling fresh and looking healthy—while minimizing the appearance of unwanted shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, or acne breakouts. If you have oily skin, the ideal face wash for your skin’s needs should be expertly formulated with dermatologists to gently and effectively remove dirt and excess oil, without clogging pores or stripping your skin of its natural oils.
CeraVe’s non-comedogenic facial cleansers for oily skin are formulated with three essential ceramides to help lock in skin’s moisture and restore your skin’s protective barrier. They feature a range of beneficial ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid to help retain your skin’s natural moisture, kaolin clay to help absorb excess oil, and exfoliating ingredients like salicylic acid.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Causes Oily Skin?
Oily skin is characterized by the presence of excess sebum (oil). It can be caused by genetics, weather, stress, hormones, over-cleansing, or washing with a harsh cleanser that strips away natural oils from your skin. These factors can cause the sebaceous glands to overcompensate and increase oil production, leading to oily skin.
-
What Are the Main Skin Concerns for Oily Skin?
An overproduction of oil can result in a number of skin concerns, such as clogged pores, blackheads, acne breakouts, and shiny skin. In order to help support the needs of oily skin, while addressing any of your concerns, a consistent skincare routine is often recommended—with a gentle, non-comedogenic face wash as the first step. -
What Type of Facial Cleanser Is Best for Oily Skin?
If you have oily skin, it’s important to choose wisely when considering facial cleansers. The ideal facial cleanser for oily skin is often a gentle, hydrating cleanser that help remove excess oil, without over-stripping your skin or leaving it feeling tight and dry. Beneficial ingredients that help unclog pores (like salicylic acid) and barrier-reinforcing ingredients (such as ceramides) are also great additions to cleansing formulas for oily skin. -
How Do I Use a Face Wash for Oily Skin?
Proper skincare for oily skin begins with a daily cleansing routine using a gentle, foaming cleanser twice daily (or as directed by a dermatologist). Wet your skin with lukewarm water, massage the cleanser onto your face in a gentle circular motion, and rinse. Follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning, and continue with the rest of your oily skin routine.
