Oily skin makes more sebum than it needs, which shows up as shine by midday, enlarged-looking pores and make-up that slides. The instinct is to scrub it away with the harshest cleanser in the house, but stripping the skin bare usually backfires: tight, dehydrated skin often answers with even more oil.
A good soap for oily skin does two things at once. It lifts the excess oil and the grime that sits in it, and it leaves enough behind that your skin doesn't feel parched an hour later. Neem and rice powder help with the first job; a mild goat milk glycerin base does the second.
A fine powder that helps soak up excess oil while you wash, for a fresher, less shiny look.
Ground coffee or walnut gently polishes away the rough, dull surface that oil and dust leave behind.

Not a gentle one. Oily skin does best with a cleanser that removes excess oil without stripping it completely. A mild, handmade bar with ingredients like neem or rice powder suits many people with oily skin; harsh detergent soaps that leave skin squeaky and tight are the ones to avoid.
Twice — morning and night — is enough for most people, plus after heavy sweating. Washing more often can leave skin dry on the surface and make it produce more oil.
Neem, Aloe & Vitamin E for skin that sweats and gets oily, and Coffee & Kojic Acid if your oily skin also looks dull. Both are listed above.
Yes. Our bars are made as face and body bars. If your face is more sensitive than your body, patch test first and use a lighter touch on the face.
Soap cleans; it doesn't treat skin conditions. If your skin is very irritated, painful or not improving, please see a dermatologist.
