Korean skincare for oily skin: what works, and what Koreans pick

Hwahae lets users register their skin type, so its rankings show what people with oily skin actually rate highly. Here is how to build a routine for oily skin, and today's top 5.

How to build the routine

Keep it light: a gel cleanser, a watery toner or a toner pad with PHA or BHA a few times a week, niacinamide serum and a gel cream. Oily skin still needs moisture, or it makes more oil.

Ingredients to look for

Niacinamide, BHA (salicylic acid), heartleaf, green tea.

What to avoid

Skipping moisturizer, and heavy balm cleansers left on the skin.
