My favorite skin care products for morning routines as an oily skin girlie that everyone NEEDS to have. For reference I get super shiny in my T-zone by noon and wear full makeup almost every day without it slipping off...

Cleanser
I always start my morning by washing away overnight grease without stripping my skin, because over-drying just makes me produce twice as much oil later in the day.
My best repurchase product for my skin type , best for oily skin
BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser - Gently Removes Makeup and Excess Oil (175ml) | Hydrating Face Wash with Ceramides, Soothing Formula, No Oily Residue, for All Skin Types
I reach for this every morning when I wake up feeling extra greasy—it cuts my shine immediately without leaving my skin feeling tight or stripped.
Kahf Oil & Acne Care Face Wash
This is my go-to gentle daily wash because the mild acids smooth out my texture while keeping my moisture barrier happy.
Wardah Crystal Secret NMF Amino + AHA PHA Clarifying
Toner
Toning is how I keep my pores clear and prep my face so my base makeup goes on smooth instead of clinging to rough texture.
I swear by this alcohol-free toner because it visibly tightens the look of the pores on my nose before I go in with primer.
(NEAR ED) Medicube Zero Pore Toner di J11sboo
I swipe this across my T-zone a few mornings a week, and it seriously keeps my blackheads and midday grease in check.
Skin Care AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
This gives me the cleanest base under foundation and balances out my oil without drying out my cheeks.
Avoskin Miraculous Refining Toner 100ml-AHA BHA
Serum
Niacinamide is my holy grail ingredient for controlling sebum, so I always layer one of these lightweight serums before moisturizer.
This sinks right into my skin with zero stickiness, and the niacinamide and zinc combo stops me from looking shiny by lunchtime.
The Ordinary Face Serums
On super humid days, this cools my face down and gives me a natural matte finish that holds up for hours.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum
Moisturizer
Even with oily skin, I never skip hydration—I just stick to fast-absorbing gel formulas that give me moisture without any heavy grease.
I used to skip moisturizer altogether until I found this—it gives me plenty of hydration while absorbing excess oil throughout the day.
Caudalie VinoHydra Gel Moisturizer 60 ml
Sunscreen
Finding an SPF that doesn't make me shiny or pill under foundation used to be my biggest struggle, until I narrowed it down to these two.
My fav to use daily
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Niacinamide SPF50+ | Daily Korean Skincare and Hydrating Korean Sunscreen, Lightweight, Non-Sticky, and No White Cast 50 ml, 1.69 fl. oz.
Eye Cream
I stick to lightweight gels around my eyes in the morning so my concealer stays locked in place without creasing or sliding around.
I like massaging my eyes since the workloud so much
Caffeine Eye Serum with Hyaluronic Acid for Dark Circles & Puffiness | Anti-aging under eye care, built-in 360° massage ball, improves appearance of eye bags and fine lines, 20ml
Lip Care
While my T-zone is oily, my lips still get dry, so I finish my routine with a lightweight balm that preps them for lip products without feeling messy.
The climate change made my lips crack, and this one save me a lot
