Face washes play a vital role in skincare – they are the first skincare product a person picks and relies on, especially when the skin is oily, and the sebaceous glands are working overtime. A shiny forehead, clogged pores, breakouts here and there, oof! These are extracurriculars to every person with oily skin out there. But, we heard you! Your perpetual hunt for the best face wash for oily skin ends with our list below. Special Korean ingredients, unique textures, and oil-zapping formulations - it’s everything you can ask for and even more! 

What to look for in a face wash for oily skin? 

• Avoid face washes that have a very thick consistency. It might overly-moisturize oily skin, and greasy skin does not need more grease. 
• Pick face washes that are free from strong and synthetic fragrances, alcohol and sulfates. These can irritate the skin, and make them dry. 
• Pick pore refining, mildly exfoliating as well as skin-soothing ingredients. You do not want to put your skin under attack, all you need is a solid formulation that works for your oily skin.
