For oil control, maybe you can try the BOJ Rice Milk toner, it has kaolin clay which helps absorb excess oil. For moisturizer, again BOJ Bean gel as its very light or iUnik glucan cream, again pretty light. For sunscreen, Numbuzin No1 is my goat, vvv light and top notch protection! Also you can powder your face 15-20mins after applying your sunscreen to not disturb the film and reap the benefits of oil control by powder.

Because of my sensitive skin, I tend to utilize post-skincare products for oil control. My combo/sensitive oil-control cocktail is: 1. K-Secret Seoul 1988 Sun: Pine Tree + Ceramide Although I enthusiastically second Numbuzin No1 and would also add COSRX Vitamin E "Vitamizing" sunscreen. All three feel balanced and mattifying. 2. SOME BY MI Spirulina Poreless Primer Stick Keep to the t-zone for sebum control or use all over for added uneven tone blurring for no-makeup days. This product is better than any primers I've picked up at Sephora for price + payoff. I'd compare it to Danessa Myrick's Mattifying Water Powder serum in payoff. I love it. If you intend to wear base makeup, keep the primer just to wear you need it for texture and oil control to avoid product roll up. 3. Laneige Neo Essential Blurring Finish Powder I stick to the t-zone with this one. It doesn't give my mature skin the crypt keeper look and it offers great performance at a mid-range price. These three products lock in the oil, provide a blurring effect for the enlarged pores that come with oily skin, and make my skin feel like silk. No irritation. No breakouts.

😂 Not the gas stations. Have you tried using an oil-control setting powder? I use the one by Chillab after my sunscreen if I have to leave the house for more than 2 hours. Unless you don’t want to put more products on your face than you have to, I would try either the Anua - Invisible matte-finish sunscreen or the HaruHaru Wonder - Black Rice moisture Airyfit sunscreen. Currently I am using the CosRx - ultra-light Invisible sunscreen for AM seal & the Numbuzin no.1 every 2 hours for touch-ups after I blot first. I tried using just the Numbuzin no.1 Clear Filter by itself for one day and by the end of the day my face was oilier than on a normal day. Mixing them like this works better or just using the CosRx throughout the day by itself is fine too, very soothing & fresh with less shine than Numbuzin no.1 in my opinion. My “Oil-control” is mostly in my serums/ retinoids

I know salicylic acid suppose to help with oil control so any product with it should help in the long run! Give a search on it but is a very common ingredient you should have no problem to find it on skincare products! Now I have an unpopular recommendation which is the Garnier sorbet cream, I have heard sooo many people speaking bad about it saying it let’s the skin too dry and they hate it, but I did like it a lot, my skin is also oily and all I want sometimes is the cream to dry as matte as possible hahah I don’t think it is the most hydrating cream I have ever tried, but specifically for oil control on hot weather it worked wonders to me this summer! It also has a cooling sensation which I like it! I’m recommending this from Garnier because it’s like 5/6 euros where I live so it’s not so bad, for the price tag I did like the quality (and if I didn’t at least it was cheap). But I have heard some people that didn’t like this product saying the Arencia Deep Water Surge and the iUNIK Centella relief sorbet has the same purpose/style but does a better job than Garnier however I haven’t tried any of them yet, but it’s on my list!
