FAQ's

1. What causes oily skin?
Oily skin is typically caused by overactive sebaceous glands, which produce excess sebum. Genetics, hormonal fluctuations, humidity, and using the wrong skincare products can all contribute.

2. Which Paula’s Choice products are best for oily skin?
Top products include the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, Pore Normalizing Cleanser, 10% Niacinamide Booster, and Clear Oil-Free Moisturizer. These help unclog pores, reduce shine, and control breakouts.

3. Should I moisturize if I have oily skin?
Yes, oily skin still needs hydration. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain balance. Skipping moisturizer can actually cause your skin to produce even more oil.

4. How often should I exfoliate oily skin?
Oily skin can benefit from regular exfoliation 3–5 times a week with a BHA (salicylic acid) exfoliant to keep pores clear and reduce oiliness and breakouts.

5. Will Paula’s Choice products make my skin less oily over time?
Yes. With consistent use, ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, and antioxidants can help minimize pores, regulate oil production, and improve skin texture over time.
