Oily skin isn’t always a bad thing, a bit of glow is great. But if your T-zone is shining by 10am, makeup slides off by lunch and breakouts are popping up like clockwork, your skin might need a reset.
At Injex Clinics, we specialise in restoring balance to oil-prone skin with advanced treatments and tailored skincare. Less shine, fewer blocked pores, more confidence.
Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous (oil) glands that produce more sebum than your skin needs. Sebum plays a vital role in keeping the skin barrier hydrated and protected, but too much of it can result in clogged pores, blackheads, breakouts, enlarged pores and excess shine.
Oily skin can affect all ages and often shows up most prominently in the T-zone, forehead, nose and chin, but can also affect the back, chest and scalp.
We offer evidence-based, professional treatments to regulate sebum, refine pores and clear congestion. Here are our top treatment options for oily skin:
Refines texture, clears dead skin, and reduces oil flow with acids like salicylic and lactic acid.
A gentle exfoliating facial using a diamond tip to remove dead skin and unclog pores.
Targets bacteria and inflammation while supporting oil control and skin healing.
Stimulates collagen and regulates oil over time by encouraging cellular renewal.
Cleanses, exfoliates and manually removes built-up oil and blockages.
Here’s your go-to home support from the Skinjex range, created specifically for oily and breakout-prone skin:
Salicylic Cleanser – A gentle, foaming BHA cleanser that dissolves oil and pore buildup. Ideal for daily use without drying the skin.
Brightening Serum – Contains salicylic, glycolic and azelaic acids to regulate oil, exfoliate and improve skin tone.
BHA Enzyme Powder – A weekly exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin and absorbs oil.
Hydra Boost Moisturiser – Lightweight, oil-free hydration that won’t clog pores. Helps rebalance water/oil levels.
Resurfacing Serum – A retinol and AHA blend for oil regulation, pore reduction and smoother texture. Use under guidance.
There are multiple factors that contribute to excess oil production:
Genetics — if oily skin runs in the family, you’re more likely to have it too
Hormones — especially androgens, which stimulate oil glands
Over-cleansing or using harsh products — strips skin, causing it to produce more oil
Climate and environment — hot and humid weather ramps up oil production
Diet and lifestyle — high-glycaemic diets, dairy and stress can contribute
Cosmetics — heavy, comedogenic products may worsen oiliness
Dehydration — yes, dehydrated skin can produce more oil to compensate
The goal isn’t to eliminate oil entirely but to balance it — allowing your skin to function healthily without turning into a grease zone by midday. If your skin is also reactive or easily irritated alongside being oily, our sensitive skin treatments page covers the gentler options we recommend for that combination.
You don’t need a 10-step routine, but the right home habits matter:
Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser morning and night
Avoid harsh scrubs — use chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid 2–3 times per week
Always moisturise — oily skin still needs water, not more oil
Apply SPF 50+ daily — choose a gel or mattifying formula
Avoid pore-clogging products (look for “non-comedogenic”)
Stay hydrated, get enough sleep and keep stress in check
Clean makeup brushes and pillowcases regularly
Avoid touching your face during the day
Review hormonal imbalances with your GP if oil is severe and persistent
