25+ Best Oil Control Products For Oily Skin

Oil Control Product #1: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser For Normal To Oily Skin

Stripping your skin off it's natural oils causes your sebaceous glands to compensate for the loss by producing more oil so avoid using stripping cleansers.

The CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser For Normal To Oily Skin is by far the best cleanser I've come across for oily skin (and the one I currently use).

It's a non-comedogenic, non-irritating, non-drying, fragrance-free and dermatologist-developed cleanser that removes excess oil without disrupting your skin’s natural protective barrier.

It contains ceramides to restore the skin’s natural barrier, hyaluronic acid to retain the skin’s moisture and niacinamide to calm the skin.
