JAKARTA - Having an oily face often causes various problems. This is because excess oil production can clog pores and trigger various disorders such as acne and dull skin.

Therefore, it is important to understand how to treat oily skin properly, especially for the selection of skincare products. The content in skincare products must be able to control products.

There are several skin care ingredients that are considered suitable for oily skin, quoted from Inkey, on Tuesday, August 5, 2025.

1. Niacinamide

Oily facial skin requires active skin care ingredients that can control sebum production without making skin dry. One of the recommended skincare ingredients is niacinamide.

Niacinamide works by balancing oil gland activity, decreasing the appearance of pores, and repairing skin barriers. This material can be found in toners, serums, or moisturizers.

2. Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid is a good skincare ingredient also to treat oily facial skin. This is because salicylic acid has properties that are dissolved in oil, so that it can penetrate the pores.

Thus, clogged oil or sebum can be well dissolved, and prevent various skin problems such as acne. In daily use, the ideal concentration ranges from 0.5 percent to 2 percent.

3. Zinc PCA

To control long-term oil, it is recommended to use skincare with PCA zinc content in it. This content is effective in suppressing enzymes that trigger excess sebum production, as well as providing good hydration on the skin.
