✨ Best Indian Skincare Products for Oily Skin – My Personal Favourites

Let’s be real — oily skin can be frustrating. You wash your face and feel fresh, and within an hour, it’s already shiny again. On top of that, there’s acne, clogged pores, and makeup that just won’t stay.

I’ve seen my friends go through this and even though I personally don’t have oily skin, I’ve researched and picked some of the best Indian skincare products that really work — especially for oily and acne-prone skin. If you want to control oil without drying your skin out completely, this blog is your go-to guide!

🧼 1. Face Wash – Cleanse Without Over-Stripping

Oily skin still needs gentle cleansing — harsh face washes can actually make it oilier in the long run.

✅ My Top Picks:

  • The Derma Co 1% Salicylic Acid Gel Face Wash
    – Dermatologist formulated
    – Controls sebum, prevents breakouts

  • Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser (Indian version)
    – Non-comedogenic and soap-free
    – Gently removes excess oil without overdrying

💡 Use twice a day and don’t over-wash — it makes oiliness worse!

💧 2. Serum – The Secret to Balanced Skin

Oily skin still needs hydration and treatment. These serums are lightweight, non-sticky, and help with acne, oil, and pores.

✅ My Top Picks:

  • Minimalist 10% Niacinamide Serum
    – Reduces oiliness, fades acne marks
    – Lightweight and beginner-friendly

  • Dot & Key CICA Calming Blemish Serum
    – Soothes active acne, reduces redness
    – Perfect if your oily skin is also sensitive

💡 Start with 2–3 drops on clean, dry skin and wait a minute before moisturizing.

🧴 3. Moisturizer – Yes, Oily Skin Needs It Too!

Skipping moisturizer is a big mistake. If you don’t hydrate, your skin produces even more oil to compensate.

✅ My Top Picks:

  • Re’equil Oil-Free Mattifying Moisturizer
    – Leaves a soft matte finish
    – Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free

  • Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel (Indian version)
    – Lightweight gel texture
    – Hydrates without any greasy feeling

💡 Go for gel-based or water-based moisturizers if you hate thick creams.

☀️ 4. Sunscreen – Must-Have for Acne-Prone Skin

If you’re using acne-fighting ingredients, sunscreen is non-negotiable. Otherwise, you'll end up with dark spots and sensitivity.

✅ My Top Picks:

  • Fixderma Shadow SPF 30 Gel
    – Very lightweight and oil-free
    – Great under makeup and doesn’t clog pores

  • Dr. Sheth’s Oily Skin Sunscreen SPF 50
    – Designed especially for Indian oily skin
    – Silky finish with no white cast

💡 Reapply every 3–4 hours, especially if you’re outside or in direct sunlight.

🌿 Bonus Tip: Keep Blotting Sheets Handy

If you’re out all day and feel greasy, don’t rub or reapply powder. Just gently dab with blotting paper. It controls oil without messing up your skin barrier or makeup.

💬 Final Thoughts

Oily skin is totally manageable if you treat it with care, not harshness. All these products are from Indian brands (or easily available in India), affordable, and most importantly — effective.

Just stick to a routine that works for your skin and be consistent. Skincare is a journey, not a race 💛
