Most Use A Sickle Of Skin Problems, How Much Is Good Usage?

JAKARTA - The moisturizer is one of the important steps in skincare or facial care routines. However, in its use it must also be considered, especially the amount of use.

Using a moisturizer excessively can trigger various skin problems. There are several common signs that occur if you use a moisturizer excessively.

One of the most pronounced is that the skin feels oily, even after 15 minutes of use. In addition, the cream will also clot and peel off, and feel sticky.

If this habit of using excessive moisturizer continues, it can cause clogged pores, acne, and mile.

"I often meet patients with small cysts and various types of acne due to excessive use of moisturizers," said the clinical director at the Center for Dermatology, dr. Bahar Firoz, quoted from Women's Health, on Monday, September 8, 2025.

In using moisturizers, the amount must be adjusted to the skin type. If the skin is dry, it is recommended to use a fairly large moisturizer, while for oily skin it should be used in less amount.

"If your skin is dry, it can be a little more. But for oily skin, you should use it less," said dermatologist dr. IFe J.

When using moisturizers, the skin should also feel moist, so the amount of use is correct. If it's mostly, the skin will feel oily or slippery.

"Obviously it should feel damp, a little dewy or soft, not oily or slippery," he concluded.
