If your skin constantly looks shiny or feels greasy within hours of cleansing, you’re not alone. Oily skin is one of the most common skin types — and managing it effectively requires more than just blotting papers or harsh cleansers. In fact, over-stripping your skin of oil can make it produce even more.
The good news? A well-balanced Korean skincare routine can help regulate sebum production, unclog pores, and keep your skin looking fresh, not greasy — all without compromising your skin barrier.
Korean skincare focuses on hydration, balance, and barrier support — all of which are key when dealing with oily skin. Instead of using alcohol-based products that dry out the skin, the Korean approach relies on lightweight layers, soothing ingredients, and gentle exfoliation to calm oil glands while maintaining a healthy glow.
When building a routine for oily skin, look for these K-beauty-favorite ingredients:
Absolutely! Oil dissolves oil. A gentle oil cleanser helps remove excess sebum and doesn’t clog pores if rinsed properly.
No — skipping moisturizer can actually make oily skin worse. Choose lightweight, hydrating formulas instead of rich creams.

K-beauty products are known for their gentle, effective formulas powered by natural ingredients, cutting-edge science, and a prevention-first philosophy. They focus on long-term skin health, hydration, and barrier repair — instead of harsh actives and quick fixes. At Lakinza, we curate only the most trusted K-beauty brands that deliver real results for all skin types.
Great skin is a journey, not a sprint. Most people begin to notice changes like improved hydration or smoother texture in 2–4 weeks with consistent use. For concerns like acne scars, dark spots, or anti-aging, you may see best results after 6–8 weeks. Results vary based on skin type, product type, and usage consistency.
Pro tip: Stick with your routine daily and give each product time to work — no skipping!
