• The Problem with Oily Skin

While sebum is produced by our skin to help keep the skin soft, supple and healthy, some people's skin produces markedly more natural sebum than others. This can result in skin taking on an oily feel and appearance.

The overproduction of sebum results from an increased number and sometimes size of sebaceous glands. Sebum can contribute to the development of pimples when it combines with old skin cells to block pores.

Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser works! In people with moderately oily skin, Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser, used twice daily for two weeks was shown to reduce sebum levels by up to 60%. It did this without producing any significant irritation.

• Cleanses Without Drying

Skin acts a barrier, keeping moisture in. It is important that cleansers work without compromising the skin barrier function. The cleansers should be effective, but not so effective that the skin is left harsh, dry and potentially raw and cracking.
