Here are some things to note when choosing nighttime creams for oily skin, shared by Dr. Manjul Agarwal, senior dermatologist at Fortis Hospital, New Delhi.
1. Should choose water-based products
Choose nighttime creams that are water-based, not oil-based. The water-based moisturizer has a light texture, not causing oily skin. On the contrary, essential oils have a very thick texture, easily causing the skin to become greasy and clogged pores, leading to acne.
2. Should choose products containing retinol
Retinol is very good for the skin, helping to reduce dark spots, prevent acne and slow down signs of aging. This is an important ingredient that helps you solve many skin problems.
3. Should choose products containing salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is very useful in treating acne. In addition, it also helps other ingredients in creams penetrate better, bringing higher efficiency.
4. Should choose products containing glycolic acid
glycolic acid is very good for treating skin and melasma pigmentation, and is also an effective anti-acne ingredient. For oily skin, glycolic acid helps control excess oil, giving you a smoother skin.
5. Should choose products containing azelaic acid
azelaic acid is known to treat dark spots and brown spots. So if you are looking for a product that helps even out skin tone, choose a night cream that contains this ingredient.
6. Should choose products containing hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to help the skin become plump and vibrant. Not only moisturizing, it is also a great anti-aging ingredient, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
