Oily skin

A skincare routine specifically tailored to oily skin can help restore balance and mattify the skin. The active ingredient cosmetics developed by Prof. Dr. Steinkraus offer everything you need to effectively regulate oily skin.

There can be many different reasons why your skin becomes very oily immediately after washing. Sebum's job is usually to protect the skin from environmental influences and keep it moisturized; it creates a very thin, invisible protective layer. In oily skin types, the excessive production of sebum causes it to accumulate on the skin, forming a shiny film. As a result, the excess sebum can clog pores, which in turn promotes blemishes. The oily shine also emphasizes an irregular skin texture, which can be particularly stressful for oily and blemished skin. But how exactly does oily skin develop? Common causes can include the following:

• Hereditary factors
• Incorrect care
• Hormonal disorders
• Unhealthy lifestyle (diet, lack of sleep, stress)
• medication

Unfortunately, some of these factors cannot be influenced—so even tips for oily skin won't help in the long run. It's worth counteracting this with the right active ingredient care. Prof. Dr. Steinkraus's product range focuses exclusively on ingredients with proven effectiveness—anything beyond that is deliberately omitted. This gives oily skin exactly what it needs to calm down and regulate its overproduction of sebum.

If you want to regulate your oily skin, you'll find the right care products in Prof. Dr. Steinkraus's range to build an effective skincare routine. Oily skin is generally characterized by the following features:

• Relatively insensitive
• Large-pored, shiny appearance
• Tendency to impurities

• (04) Cleansing Gel
  Prof. Dr. Steinkraus' Cleansing Gel is used to cleanse the skin morning and evening. The mild formula gently yet effectively cleanses the skin, preventing it from drying out and ideally preparing it for subsequent care.
• (07) Vitamin C Serum
  Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and aids skin regeneration. It strengthens collagen and also lightens pigmentation.
• (06) Vitamin A Serum
  Applied in the evening, Prof. Dr. Steinkraus's retinol serum helps protect the skin through its antioxidant properties. Its primary effect is to support collagen synthesis. It inhibits collagen-degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases), thereby strengthening collagen production. Vitamin A also counteracts skin imperfections and, similar to vitamin C, lightens skin pigmentation.
• (05) Hyaluronic Serum
  The effective hyaluronic serum with a concentration of 2.5% moisturizes the skin and thus boosts a well-hydrated and healthy appearance of the skin without burdening the skin with oils.
• (01) Face Care Light
  Face Care Light is a lightweight oil-in-water emulsion that ideally locks moisture into the skin without being too heavy. This improves skin texture and elasticity – for a well-groomed, fresh appearance. At the same time, thanks to its light texture, the skin doesn't need to produce excessive oiliness – making it the ideal cream for oily skin.

Especially with oilier skin types, the thought often arises that skincare can actually only worsen the condition – creams that are too rich make the skin shine even more or even cause blemishes, and instead people rely on drying products that further aggravate the circulation. A cream for oily skin should provide moisture without weighing it down. Thanks to the high level of dermatological expertise behind Prof. Dr. Steinkraus's products, this sophisticated care system offers every skin type exactly the routine it needs.
