Collection: Oily Skin

Oily skin results from overactive sebaceous glands that produce excess sebum. This can be influenced by hormones, genetics, climate, and skincare routine choices.

Characteristics:
•    Noticeable shine, particularly in T-zone
•    Enlarged, visible pores
•    Thicker skin texture
•    Prone to blackheads and breakouts
•    Makeup may not last as long
•    Less prone to showing fine lines initially

What Causes Oily Skin:
•    Hormonal fluctuations (puberty, menstruation, pregnancy)
•    Genetics
•    Over-cleansing (can trigger more oil production)
•    Hot, humid climates
•    Certain medications
•    Stress

Leaf & Lab Solutions:

ClearLab specifically targets oily skin concerns with 2% salicylic acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve oil buildup and dead skin cells. Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil while activated charcoal extracts impurities. Tea tree oil (3%) provides natural antibacterial action without over-drying, while organic argan oil prevents the barrier damage that can lead to increased oil production.

BalanceLab helps regulate sebum production by supporting a healthy skin microbiome with prebiotics and postbiotics, while caffeine helps improve circulation and reduce puffiness.
