The oiliness of the skin and hair depends on many factors, amongst which a sebaceous gland product called sebum has the main role. Also, many other circumstances affect oil secretion, such as certain life age (puberty), genetics, hygiene, humidity, heat... For those who have a more serious problem regarding excessive oil production and no product has helped them so far, we recommend visiting a dermatologist, who may be able to provide you with a treatment you need. But, first of all, here are some products many people have found very helpful.
HAIR
Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for greasy hair is Vichy's first patented formula enriched with Selenium DS and Cohesyl, to help purify and soothe the scalp. The shampoo for greasy hair targets visible dandruff flakes from the first wash, to help eliminate the appearance of dandruff and oily hair. The scalp feels cleansed and purified, and instantly hair feels lighter and easier to style. This shampoo for oily hair has a light mint leaf and menthol fragrance, for a fresh sensation each time you use it. Another great trait of this product is that it is paraben-free.
SKIN
LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR K (+) CREAM
La Roche-Posay research has shown that under the effects of external aggressors, (pollutant particles, dust) oily, imperfection-prone skin undergoes oxidation, which can trigger a chain reaction – hyper-keratinization, sebum hyper-production, oxidation of sebum and impurities present at the skin surface. All of which can lead to the formation of new imperfections. Beyond refining the look of skin texture, our first treatment for oily skin reduces the appearance of blackheads and mattifies skin for 8 hours from the very first application. To target the results of this process, pores look unclogged, skin texture looks smoother and shine is controlled. From the very first application, the skin has an all-day clean and fresh skin sensation. This product is suitable for combination to oily, imperfection-prone skin. Also suitable for sensitive skin. Furthermore, Effaclar K Cream has an ultra-fresh - aquagel texture, which is comfortably refreshing on the application. Also, it is quick-absorbing and ultra-comfortable, it provides the skin with all-day comfort and moisturized/hydrated feel. It is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and it is tested under dermatological control.
LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR PURIFYING FOAMING GEL
Soap-free cleanser that purifies the skin and eliminates the excess of sebum. Use of its formula leaves the skin in its physiological equilibrium. The absolute must for dermatological treatments of acne, sensitive and oily skin.
Excess sebum, stress, tobacco, pollution - there are countless factors that cause your pores to become dilated and distorted.
