Calm the Shine: Skincare for Oily, Sensitive Skin Black Girls
12
items This list is for the girls who want the glow without the grease. If your skin is oily and sensitive, you already know the struggle. I built this list with love (and trial & error) for the Black girlies who want skincare that actually works. These...
A fav for Oily skin, but go slow if you're sensitive. I started with every other day to avoid irritation. Helps with shine and texture, but pair with a good moisturizer.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
I've tried a few different moisturizers for oily skin, and so far this one is my fav. It's lightweight but very moisturizing. No stickiness, no shine, and doesn't make me greasy. Perfect for oily skin.
The INKEY List USA Omega Water Cream Oil Free Moisturiser
I love this!! But less is more. Start slow if your skin is sensitive. This helps with texture, clogged pores, and dark marks. I use this at night and follow with something hydrating.
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
I love, love, love this toner! My oily, sensitive skin drinks this up. Soothing, no irritation, no fragrance. Layer under your moisturizer. This is not just water in a bottle...it's hydration without heaviness.
Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner
I've tried other sunscreens that were marketed to oily, sensitive skin, but made me super shinny and caused my face to break out. This sunscreen has been the best for me thus far. Lightweight and doesn't burn my eyes. Doesn't make me shinny, doesn’t ...
Beauty of Joseon Daily Relief Sunscreen
Sometimes, you can't stop the shine..and that's ok. I like to keep these blotting sheets for days my oil production does its own thing. These sheets are made with rose extract and simple paper designed to soak up oil without irritating your skin.
Rose Tea Blotting Sheets - Winky Lux | Ulta Beauty
My AM and PM toner. I use this daily. The Niacinamide in this toner regulates oil, brightens dark spots, and shrinks pores. If nothing else..cleanser, this toner, moisturizer.
4.0 oz Niacinamide Brightening Toner - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
This is not just snail slime. Think of this as your recovery serum – soothing, hydrating, and barrier repairing. I use 1 pump and pat it all over my skin while still damp to lock in moisture. The texture is gooey but absorbs fast. I recommend patch t...
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence - COSRX | Ulta Beauty
I love this face wash. Now it doesn't lather as well as I would like but enough to see a major decrease in oiliness. 10% Benzoyl Peroxide clears breakouts fast. I only use this at night! I started with every other day and then increased to nightly af...
3.0 oz Acne Foaming Wash with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide - PanOxyl | Ulta Beauty
Let's be real. Sometimes I'm too tired to wash my face for 60+ seconds, and this saves me. I simply pour some on a cotton round and wipe all over my face. It's also great as a double cleanser to remove SPF or makeup. It doesn't burn or break me out.
13.5 oz SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Makeup Remover - Garnier | Ulta Beauty
Honestly, this face wash just didn't give what I wanted it to give as far as helping decrease my oil. However, I do think it's a very good cleanser. If you're looking for cleanser safe for sensitive skin, or one you can use in the AM and PM, this is ...
13.5 oz Toleriane Purifying Foaming Face Wash for Oily Skin - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
Bonus Rec: I ordered this trying to get rid of a few dark spots. It didn't work for me. However, I noticed it was really good at clearing breakouts and blemishes really quickly. I use it like a pimple patch. As soon as I see a bump, I put a dab of th...
