JAKARTA - Oily facial skin is one of the problems with facial skin that is often encountered. Even so, oil on the face does not always have a negative impact. Basically, oil on the face helps keep the skin moist so it doesn't dry.

However, too much oil on the surface of the face can trigger acne, comedo, or other signs of skin damage. To reduce excess oil production on the face, some content is needed in skincare products that can work by absorbing excess oil on the face.

Launching WebMD, Tuesday, November 29, here are some of the best ingredients that are good for oily skin types.

Salicylic Acid or salicylic acid is an ingredient that is often found in many skin care products. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that effectively dissolves oil and other contaminants on the skin. Salicylic acid is quite soft used regularly and does not make the skin too dry.

In addition to cleaning excess sebum, salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve acne. The dirt and oil in the pores can cause black and white comodos. Salicilat acid can clean up the dirt collected in the pores of the skin.

Products that contain retinoids can help reduce the amount of oil on the skin. Retinoids are a form of vitamin A and are known for its effects that brighten skin and anti-aging. Retinoids thicken the outermost layer of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinoids can also slow down oil production and reduce the splash on the skin due to oil.

Glycolic acid or glycolic acid is hydroxic alpha acid which functions as chemical exfoliation. The acid secretes dead skin cells making the skin look brighter. In addition, glycolate acid cleans up excess oil that accumulates on the skin, making it look less oily overall. It's just that, don't overuse glycolate acid or any exfoliatory treatment. Because excessive use can irritate the skin or trigger more oil production.

Adding a moisturizer to oily skin may seem opposite to intuition. However, experts still suggest you do it. Light moisturizers with non-medogenic content will balance drought due to skin cleansing. This can slow down the tendency of the skin to produce sebum excessively.

Look for moisturizers that contain hyaluronic acid, which refreshes and makes the skinbery. Also look for skincare with the content of niacinamide, which absorbs oil on the skin's surface. Niacinamide has a calming effect, thus helping to relieve inflammation due to acne.
