Balancing the Shine: Managing Oiliness in Skincare
pore control
Refine, Balance, Breathe
Oiliness is a natural skin trait, but when it’s excessive, it can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and a greasy appearance that’s hard to manage throughout the day.
Sebum — the oil our skin produces — plays an important role in protecting and moisturizing the skin barrier, but overproduction can throw things off balance.
In Korean skincare, the approach isn’t about stripping the skin dry; it’s about rebalancing oil and moisture levels so the skin stays hydrated, calm, and less prone to excess shine.
Understanding Oiliness
Korean skincare solutions for clear, healthy, and shine-controlled skin.
Oiliness happens when the skin produces excess sebum, often influenced by genetics, heat, hormones, or using overly harsh products. When too much oil mixes with dead skin cells, pores can appear larger and become prone to blackheads and breakouts. Proper oil control isn’t about stripping the skin—it’s about keeping pores clean while maintaining hydration to prevent rebound oiliness.
Korean skincare manages oily skin through gentle, consistent pore care and barrier-friendly hydration. Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Water removes light impurities without irritation, while the 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Oil dissolves excess sebum and sunscreen buildup. Follow with the 1025 Dokdo Cleanser to thoroughly cleanse without over-drying, then balance and hydrate with the cult-favorite 1025 Dokdo Toner to help regulate oil and keep skin calm, smooth, and clear.
These treatments work beyond surface-level cleansing to refine skin texture, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and gradually regulate excess sebum production over time. By targeting the root causes of oiliness — such as buildup within pores and imbalance in the skin’s oil-moisture ratio — they help create a smoother, clearer complexion without stripping or irritating the skin.
Finding the right balance for oily skin isn’t about eliminating every trace of shine — it’s about creating a healthy environment where your skin can regulate itself. With the gentle yet effective approach of Korean skincare, you can keep excess oil in check, maintain clear pores, and preserve your skin’s natural glow without over-drying. Consistency, patience, and the right product choices will help you transform oiliness from a daily struggle into a manageable, healthy part of your skin’s natural function.
