Sick of Oily Skin? Our Best Men’s Skincare Products For Oily Skin

Ever wiped your forehead with your hand at the end of a busy day and felt this residue left on your hand? Well, this could be an indication of oily skin. Don’t worry, if this is you then you are not alone. Most men in the UK suffer from oily skin and once you’re in control of your oily skin, it can actually be a blessing and not a curse.

The cause of oily skin is simply down to the overproduction of oil from your oil glands, so it is actually driven by your genetics. Whilst oily skin is great at warding off wrinkles vs. dry skin as the oil keeps the skin smoother and moister. It can also clog up the skin’s pores, resulting in acne, blackheads and a constant shine!

Therefore, if you get your oily skin under control then you can benefit from its anti-wrinkles action and not be left with the negative side effects of oily skin; spits, acne and blackheads.

Getting your oily skin under control involves using the right products. Fortunately for you (and most men), there are a wide variety of men’s skincare products for oily skin available to buy in the UK.

Here is just a selection of our favourite men’s skincare products for oily skin from washes through to face masks and even blotting wipes.

Best Men’s Skincare Products For Oily Skin:

1. L’Oréal Men Expert Pure Power Charcoal Face Wash 150ml:

This face wash from L’Oréal men expert is specifically designed for men with oily skin in mind. The Pure Power range helps to target the five signs of male skin imperfections; spots, blackheads, marks, oily skin and roughness. This face wash helps to control oily skin via the main ingredient Charcoal which works in conjunction with Menthol. Charcoal is a well known purifying agent for putting an end to oily skin as it can absorb the excess oil. The menthol then helps to freshen the skin.

4. Hawkins & Brimble Oil Control Moisturiser:

So, once you’ve washed your face, removing lots of the oil from your oily skin, the last thing you want to do is add the oil back in by using the wrong moisturiser. Therefore, it is important to pick a moisturiser specifically designed for men with oily skin in mind.

Hawkins & Brimble’s oil control moisturiser is perfect for men with oily skin by tackling excess sebum production and mopping up excess oil. This oily skin moisturiser utilises the action of Oat Meal to mattify the skin whilst the Vitamin E helps to keep skin moisturised and healthy-looking.

This skin cleanser from Cetaphil is a great daily cleanser for oily or combination skin. A great product for removing surface oils, dirt, skin debris with gentle foaming action.

It comes highly recommended for acne and problem skin. As it is very gentle so won’t strip your skin to within an inch of its lifelike other harsh products can.

6. Bulldog’s Oil Control Blemish Targeter

Unfortunately, no matter how regimented you are with your skincare routine, spots can still make an appearance (oily skin or not). So you need a product that can be relatively targeted vs. widespread like a face wash.

This blemish targeter from Bulldog’s oil control range contains witch hazel, willow bark and juniper. Specially formulated as an anti-blemish product for men to help minimise the appearance of blemishes, leaving the skin feeling soothed.

7. L’Oréal Men Expert Pure Charcoal Purifying Tissue Mask

Given how often we’re trying to push face masks on you guys, it would be rude of us to not recommend a face mask for men with oily skin.

The first men’s skincare product we recommended for oily skin was the L’Oréal Men Expert Pure Power Face Wash. The Pure Power sub-brand from L’Oréal Men Expert was designed purely for guys with oily skin at heart. The brand now has a tissue mask from the range; enriched with purifying Charcoal and hydrating glycerine. The mask moisturises and mattifies the skin with 5 minutes. The size of the mask is actually larger than the female equivalent, making it perfect for a man’s face shape.
