Oily skin occurs when sebaceous glands produce excess sebum. While some oil keeps skin healthy, overproduction causes shine, clogged pores, and breakouts. A good facial cleanser is the foundation of managing oily skin, and Neutrogena Facial Cleanser is built for exactly that.
What Causes Oily Skin
- Genetics: Oily skin often runs in families.
- Hormones: Puberty, pregnancy, and imbalances raise oil production.
- Diet and stress: High-sugar foods and cortisol can stimulate sebaceous glands.
- Harsh skincare: Over-washing strips skin and triggers rebound oil.
For dermatologist guidance on oily skin, see the American Academy of Dermatology.
Key Ingredients

How to Use
