Cleansers
Step #1 in your routine
Just in case you didn't know, Salicylic acid is the perfect ingredient to reduce oil production and I really enjoy using it in cleansers like this one. This one can also be found in any drugstore and is a very affordable option!
Renewing SA (Salicylic Acid) Cleanser | Face Wash
Here's another great option for a cleanser that removes excess oil from the skin
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser Reviews
If you want a gentle cleanser for oily skin without any exfoliants (like salicylic acid) then this one comes highly recommended by me! It helps to add moisture to the skin which will balance it and prevent excess oil production.

This is a perfect toner for balancing the skin's moisture and oil levels all day <3
Balancing Capsule Toner | Hero Cosmetics
Snail mucin is great for oily skin because its super lightweight but provides hydration so that oil levels can become balanced. This product can be used daily right after you cleanse!

Serums
Step #3 in your routine
This serum is VERY gentle but has ingredients that help to clarify and balance the skin + it's SUPER afforable!
Clarifying Serum - BYOMA
Hyaluronic acid is a great ingredient for oily skin because it's very lightweight and adds moisture so that the skin can be balanced and produce less oil. This one is my favorite inexpensive hyaluronic acid serum!

Step #5 in your routine
Black Girl Sunscreen is elite and now they have a matte version as well for everyone who doesn't want the extra shine!
Make It Matte™ SPF 45 Sunscreen
I know this one is pricey but it's my favorite sunscreen ever for several reasons. (1) it's perfectly clear so you don't have to worry about a white cast, (2) it's mattifying and doesn't leave your skin shiny, (3) it can double as a primer fi you're ...

How to mattify ASAP
Use these any time during the day for a quick-fix (ex. for photos)
These blotting sheets are top tier for removing oil ASAP. They shouldn't be the go-to solution but they're a perfect quick fix for pictures etc.
Green Tea Blotting Linens - Boscia
Sometime's instead of using blotting sheets, I like to apply a little setting powder on my shiny areas. This is like setting powder but better because it has some added SPF in it (so you don't have to worry about re-applying any shine).
