About Korean Skincare for Oily Skin
Korean skincare for oily skin focuses on lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas that help regulate sebum production while keeping the skin hydrated. Popular ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, and tea tree extract help reduce shine, unclog pores, and prevent breakouts without over-drying the skin.
