Not only does this cleanser wash away extra oil on your skin, but it's also formulated to help clear breakouts and impurities, according to the brand. Ingredients like salicylic acid target blackheads and whiteheads, while the formula's lipo-hydroxy acid exfoliates and removes roughness and uneven texture, according to the brand. The formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin, too, and is non-comedogenic and fragrance-free.
After being sent this spot treatment by La Roche-Posay, it almost immediately became my favorite product for addressing breakouts. The prescription-strength adapalene is a powerful retinoid that clears all forms of blemishes, including blackheads and whiteheads, by accelerating your skin's cell turnover, according to the brand. When I use this treatment, my pimples are half the size after the first day, and almost completely gone by the second (depending on the size). I also love how quickly it absorbs into my skin; I apply it right after my serums, and it dries down within the two minute pause I take before following up with my moisturizer.
If you struggle with oily skin, this may be the right moisturizer for you. It has zinc pidolate, perlite, and silica to absorb extra oil and combat shine, while thermal spring water soothes your skin with antioxidants, according to La Roche-Posay00. The moisturizer's mattifying properties make it a great base for makeup, and the non-comedogenic formula is ideal for sensitive skin.
The salicylic acid in this toner gently exfoliates your skin, which helps prevent acne, according to the brand. The toner also has glycolic acid to unclog pores and address uneven skin texture. The toner's also free from fragrance, oils and parabens, while the thermal spring water has antioxidants that calm stressed skin.
This acne treatment is lightweight and non-comedogenic, making it safe to use for those with sensitive skin. It helps clear and prevent breakouts using a triple acid complex made from glycolic acid, lipo-hydroxy acid and salicylic acid, according to the brand. The complex also reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines and dark spots, while the treatment's niacinamide soothes the skin and limits any irritation.
Pimple patches are great for addressing breakouts and blemishes, and these La Roche-Posay patches provide a barrier on the skin that absorb the bump's oils and fluids, according to the brand. This helps protect your breakout from any external irritation (including any picking or popping). The patches are invisible, so you can wear them on their own or even under makeup, according to the brand.
Micellar water is ideal to use as a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin, especially because of how easily it removes makeup, while simultaneously toning your skin. Micelle molecules trap dirt and oil, which lets them be easily wiped away, while zinc helps remove excess oils, according to the brand. The water also has glycerin to rehydrate your skin after cleansing.
This cleanser gently washes oily skin without stripping it of all its moisture, according to the brand. The key ingredient, zinc pidolate, has cleansing properties that remove excess oil, making it great for mattifying skin while still maintaining your skin's pH balance. It's also formulated without oils or alcohol, according to the brand.

I Tried Dozens of Shampoos—These Were the Only Ones That Fixed My Oily Hair
We've all heard people wax poetic about how not washing their hair every day has changed their lives. If you have oily hair, all you can really do is nod, smile, and congratulate them on their revelation. Truth is, when you have a scalp that churns out enough sebum to make your strands look greasy and lifeless just hours after you've shampooed, it feels like you have no choice but to cleanse every single day. 'Like our skin, our scalp naturally produces oil at varying degrees depending on the person. When a scalp produces oil, it moves down the hair shaft, creating a noticeable oily look,' says Tom Smith, the creative director of Evo Hair. Sure, dry shampoo can help, but that only disguises the issue rather than solving it. What if we told you that there's a solution that can get to the root of the problem? The best shampoos for oily hair are designed to cut through the grease and buildup. One rinse of the right formula can give your hair a new lease on life, ensuring your mane retains volume, restores movement, and remains oil-free for beyond 24 hours. After speaking with Smith, testing formulas on our own oily scalps, and analyzing customer reviews, we determined the 12 best shampoos for oily hair. Keep scrolling to discover your newest shower caddy staples. Apple cider vinegar has long been touted as a staple ingredient for detoxing your strands. Fekkai mixed ACV with ginger extract, pomegranate seed oil, vitamins, and more to nourish your hair as oils are washed away.

With just one wash, any oil and product buildup is completely gone, leaving my hair feeling oh so fresh and clean.'—Emma Aerin Becker, associate beauty e-commerce writer If you want your scalp to feel squeaky clean and your hair to smell like a dream, Cécred's Clarifying Shampoo & Scalp Scrub is your girl. The formula harnesses the cleansing powers of tea tree oil and gentle physical exfoliators as well as the scalp-supporting abilities of fermented willow bark and niacinamide to deep clean your roots whenever you need it. Key ingredients: Fermented purple willow bark, tea tree oil, microcrystalline cellulose, niacinamide How to use: Wet hair, massage into scalp for 2 minutes, work into hair, rinse Cécred rating: 4.9/5 stars An expert says: 'My hair has been oily all my life, and I inevitably end up washing my hair every day, even if I'm able to resist for a few months. This is the one shampoo I can always rely on to reset my scalp and get me back to cleansing my hair every few days instead of every 24 hours. I know that once I go in with this formula, any buildup or excess oils on my face will wash down the drain.' —Carol Lee, beauty writer Clarifying shampoos don't need to be packed with a slew of fancy ingredients for them to be effective. Sans any sulfates, Evo's formula tackles stubborn dirt and grease, making each wash better than the last.

Size: 8.5 fl oz Key ingredients: Rosemary, peppermint, and spearmint How to use: Wet hair, massage product into scalp and strands, rinse Nordstrom rating: 4.6/5 stars A Nordstrom reviewer said: 'My all time favorite shampoo. Gentle yet removes all the product build up. Wonderful, invigorating fragrance.' You'll be surprised (and freaked out) at how much gunk and oil can accumulate under your protective styles. The African Pride Braid & Scalp Cleansing Rinse is the antidote. Formulated with micellar water to break down dirt, as well as castor oil, coconut oil, and peppermint oil for nourishment and scalp stimulation, your hair and scalp get the TLC they need. Size: 12 oz Key ingredients: Black castor oil, micellar water, coconut oil, peppermint oil How to use: Adjust braids or weave to expose scalp, use nozzle to directly apply product onto scalp before massaging it in, rinse Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars An ELLE editor says: 'I never want to return to a life before this scalp rinse was introduced to me. This is what I use before, during, and after my protective styles, mainly because I know my hair is getting a thorough cleanse while being properly nourished. Micellar water eliminates the gunk, and a blend of oils imparts moisture.'—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor Sachajuan's shampoo treats your scalp just as well as you treat your face. With salicylic acid, your scalp gets a good clean that gets rid of dandruff and dryness. Size: 8.4 fl oz Key ingredients: Salicylic acid How to use: Wet hair, massage into scalp and hair, leave in for 1–2 minutes before rinsing Dermstore rating: 4.5/5 stars A Dermstore reviewer said: 'This is the only shampoo I keep coming back to for the past 20 or so years. Nothing compares to the clean, bouncy feel of my hair, but the main attraction is the absolutely delicious fragrance. Any time I hug someone, they exclaim how good my hair smells. It cheers me up every time I wash my hair.' Good hair starts with a healthy scalp, which is why the nozzle on this bottle is a godsend. Using the nozzle, apply the product directly to your scalp and lather it down your strands to remove any build-up from root to tip. Size: 16.9 fl ozKey ingredient: Aloe How to use: Wet hair, apply directly onto scalp, massage product into scalp and strands, rinse Amazon rating: 4.5/5 starsAn Amazon reviewer said: 'My hair usually gets really greasy, and this product helps my hair feel squeaky clean. I used to have issues with my scalp smelling weird, but this liquid shampoo really helped me with that. I don't use this daily though, because I feel like it dries out your scalp. So I only use it once my hair is really greasy.' If you're yearning for fresh hair that lasts, Oribe's Serene Scalp Oil Control Shampoo may be the shampoo for you. The brand's biome balancing complex regulates and rebalances the scalp's microbiome to reduce sebum production and promote a healthy scalp. Key ingredients: Rosebay extract, green marine algae, biomimetic amino acid How to use: Wet hair, massage into scalp and hair, rinse Amazon rating: 4.2/5 An Amazon reviewer said: 'The Oribe Serene Scalp Oil Control Shampoo and Conditioner are game-changers! They leave my scalp feeling clean and refreshed without over-drying, and my hair stays oil-free for much longer. The scent is luxurious, and my hair feels soft, light, and healthy. Worth every penny!' Tom Smith is the creative director of Evo Hair. Because the hair has so much build-up, you should opt for shampoos that can properly cleanse greasy hair while also being gentle enough to maintain the hair's health. Smith says, 'I recommend using a gentle but deep cleansing shampoo. If you have oily hair, shampooing the hair properly is also essential. Shampoo twice and make sure you work it into an even lather on the scalp. Rinse for about 30 seconds longer than you think you need to so that all the product really washes out.' 'Cheaper drugstore shampoos tend to use low-grade silicones and waxes to make your hair feel really soft, but what these ingredients actually do is build upon the hair and suffocate the cuticle, which makes the hair feel slimy over time,' Smith adds. The number of times you wash your hair depends on your routine and hair type. 'Some people's scalps produce more oil than others, so it can take a lot of trial and error to figure out the best schedule for you. It is ok to wash your hair every day if you need to, as long as you're using good quality products that aren't going to leave a residue on your hair,' Smith says.
