Oily skin, balanced, not stripped
Oily skin makes more sebum than it needs, so it looks shiny by midday and pores can look larger. It isn’t dirty, and stripping it backfires: harsh cleansing leaves skin dehydrated and irritated. Cleanse thoroughly, hydrate lightly and keep pores clear, gently.
- Skin type: Oily
- Concern: Breakouts, pores & oil
- Reacts: Rarely
- Routine: Full routine
The science, simply
What oily skin needs
Cleanse thoroughly, not harshly
Oil dissolves oil: a cleansing oil at night, then a gentle gel. Never squeaky-clean.
Hydrate with light layers
Watery toners and a gel-cream. Skipping moisturiser doesn’t reduce oil.
Keep pores clear, gently
A mild exfoliant a few times a week, and niacinamide daily to balance the look of shine.

Go slowly
Introduce it in stages
Cleansers, gel-cream and SPF
Get the basics right before adding actives.
Add the serums
Morning serum first; evening serum a week later.
Add the toner, then the powder
Start the powder once a week and build to twice.
What to expect
Shine control and comfort usually show within two weeks. Clearer-looking pores take 4 to 8 weeks. Breakouts can take 12 weeks to settle.
Honest notes
Care with care
Be careful with
- Scrubbing, or using several exfoliants at once. Irritated skin can look shinier and break out more.
- Picking or squeezing. It pushes inflammation deeper and leaves marks that last months.
- Heavy creams on shiny areas. Keep textures light.
See a doctor or dermatologist if
- You have painful lumps or cysts under the skin.
- Cystic acne gets worse, or you notice unusual discolouration.
- Acne hasn’t improved after 8 to 12 weeks. JIHWA doesn’t sell acne treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or adapalene; a pharmacist or dermatologist can help.
JIHWA can’t diagnose skin conditions. A doctor or dermatologist can, and some conditions need prescription treatment that no skincare product replaces.

Add the full regime, or start with the essentials and build up. Either way, bring your own SPF30 or higher for the mornings.
