Oily facial skin in men: how to control excessive sebum production?

Oily skin is one of the most common skin problems in men, which can lead to increased sebum production, enlarged pores, and frequent breakouts. Although sebum naturally protects the skin from drying out, its excessive production can lead to an unpleasant shine and skin blemishes. The right facial care routine and targeted ingredients can help regulate this process.

In this guide, we'll show you the best methods and scientifically proven ingredients to help you control oily skin, and highlight why Vensyl Ferox facial cleanser may be the best choice.

Why does men's skin get oily?

Men's skin is on average 25% thicker and produces more sebum than women's ( International Journal of Cosmetic Science ). The main reasons for this are:

✔ Hormonal effects – Testosterone increases sebum production, which is why men are more prone to oily skin. ✔ Improper facial care – Overly harsh cleansers or lack of hydration can increase sebum production. ✔ Stress and diet – Stress increases cortisol levels, which stimulates the sebaceous glands. ✔ Climate and environmental factors – High humidity and polluted air can also contribute to clogged pores.

How can you control excessive sebum production?

Treating oily skin isn't about aggressive drying, but about proper cleansing, moisturizing, and using sebum-controlling ingredients . Let's see which steps can help!

1. Facial Cleansing – The Basic First Step

Cleansing your face twice a day helps remove excess oil, dirt, and bacteria, preventing acne from forming. The ideal face wash is gentle but effective , and contains ingredients that help regulate sebum production without drying out your skin.

Recommended ingredients:

• Aloe vera – Soothing and anti-inflammatory.

• Cucumber extract – Reduces redness and refreshes.

• Coffee extract – Antioxidant that helps skin regenerate.

• Citric Acid (AHA) – Mildly exfoliates, helping to remove dead skin cells.

🔹 Try Vensyl Ferox facial cleanser , which contains 99.4% natural ingredients , so it cleanses effectively while maintaining the skin's balance.

2. Exfoliation – Keeping pores clean

Oily skin is prone to blackheads and clogged pores, so it's a good idea to exfoliate 2-3 times a week . Chemical exfoliants are gentler and more effective than harsh physical scrubs.

Best exfoliating ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid (BHA) – A fat-soluble acid that penetrates deep into pores and clears them.

• Glycolic acid (AHA) – Helps remove dead skin cells, providing a more uniform skin surface.

3. Hydration – Not an enemy, but a necessity!

Many people believe that oily skin doesn't need to be moisturized, but the right moisturizer can help balance the skin's water balance and reduce sebum production. Lightweight, oil-free formulas are ideal.

Recommended moisturizing ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid – Attracts moisture to the skin without making it feel heavy.

• Niacinamide (vitamin B3) – Reduces inflammation and normalizes sebum production.

• Panthenol (vitamin B5) – Soothes irritated skin.

🔹 Vensyl Aurum moisturizer has a light texture and contains niacinamide, panthenol and hyaluronic acid, making it perfect for oily skin.

4. Use of mattifying and sebum-regulating active ingredients

If your skin gets very shiny during the day, it's worth looking for ingredients that absorb excess oil and reduce sebum production in the long term.

Effective mattifying ingredients:

• Kaolin Clay – Helps absorb excess sebum.

• Zinc PCA – Regulates the function of the sebaceous glands and reduces inflammation.

• Green Tea Extract – Antioxidant that helps reduce pore size.

5. Sun protection – A must for all skin types!

Excessive sun exposure can stimulate sebum production and damage your skin in the long run. Use an oil-free, lightweight sunscreen (SPF 30+) that won't clog pores.
