Oily skin

What is oily skin?

Oily skin is a skin type characterized by excessive secretion of sebum.

How to recognize oily skin?

Oily skin NATURALLY OILS ON ALL AREAS OF THE FACE and most often has enlarged pores that clog easily, especially in the area of ​​the cheeks, chin and nose. Problems with blackheads and pimples may also be present. Such skin is not easy to apply make-up because it gives the impression that the make-up just "slips" off it and does not adhere as it should.

What causes oily skin?

Oily skin most often occurs during puberty, but it can also be genetically conditioned, the result of some hormonal change or the result of living in a very humid climate.

What are the benefits of oily skin?

Since oily skin produces more oil, i.e. sebum, compared to other skin types, it is regularly protected from drying out, so wrinkles appear much later in people with oily skin. If properly maintained with the right products, oily skin can have a beautiful natural glow that other skin types find difficult to achieve.

How to take care of oily skin?

• Use a MILD FACE CLEANSER .
• Do not forget about regular exfoliation.
• Choose products with an indication of non-comedogenicity.
• Don't skip the light water serum.
• Choose a light moisturizing cream.
• Wear less makeup and choose a water-based, oil-free foundation.

MORNING

In the morning, wake up your face and skin by washing with PURIFYING CLEANSER facial cleansing gel, which will remove excess sebum from your face and purify pores.

Then put 4-5 drops of INSTANT REVITALIZING SERUM on the palm of your hand and massage it into the skin with your fingertips. During the massage, you will feel how the skin has started to absorb the serum.

Then it is the right time for HARMONIZING CREAM . Apply the desired amount of cream with your fingertips and gently rub it into your face with a gentle, relaxing massage. When you are satisfied with the amount of hydration your skin has received, we suggest moving on to care for the sensitive eye area.

EYE CREAM is best applied in a pea-sized amount, using only the ring fingers to ensure very light pressure, without tightening the skin.

IN THE EVENING

The evening routine is the perfect opportunity for more special treatments for your skin. Clean your face with the PURIFYING CLEANSER facial cleansing gel to remove all impurities and excess sebum, and deeply cleanse the pores.
After cleansing your face, carefully examine your skin. If you notice comedones, 4-5 drops of CLARIFYING SERUM will help you solve this problem without additional drying of the skin. Gently dab the serum on problem areas. For the best effect of the serum, leave it on the skin for up to 5 minutes before the next step of the routine.

After that, it's time for the rich hydration hidden by HARMONIZING CREAM . Apply the desired amount of cream with your fingertips and gently rub it into your face with a gentle, relaxing massage.

How does this routine work on pimples and comedones?

This routine combines potent active ingredients that prevent the causes of acne and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation spots. BHA, better known as salicylic acid, deeply cleans pores to prevent clogging and accompanying inflammation. Niacinamide has a double effect: it helps prevent the formation of hyperpigmentation spots, preventing melanin from entering the skin cells, but it is also a favorite ingredient for oily skin care because it strengthens the hydrolipidic layer and reduces sebum production. Phytoplankton has a similar effect, which in a dose of only 2%, according to clinically proven studies, reduces the production of sebum and supports the strengthening of the skin structure. Glycyrrhetinic acid almost combines all these effects. This innovative ingredient, the most potent part of licorice root extract, provides as many as four mechanisms of action: two against hyperpigmentation spots and two for sebum control. It reduces and alleviates the inflammation that precedes the emergence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but also directly inhibits the excessive synthesis of melanin. In addition, it reduces lipogenesis, i.e. the sebum production process, and inhibits the conversion of testosterone into the active DHT form, which can also cause excessive sebum secretion.

In order to provide gentle but effective care for acne-prone skin, the L'ADRIA routine is based on the prevention of inflammation and the causes of acne and soothing the skin in accordance with its natural processes, all without any aggressive ingredients.

Can the products be used independently of others?

Yes, all products from this routine can be used independently if that suits you.

What are the advantages of mixing serums and creams?

Depending on the age, our skin has different needs for lipids, so the ratio of cream and serum we need varies. L'ADRIA serums can be mixed with HARMONIZING CREAM, which enables the creation of new textures that correspond to the specific and seasonal needs of your skin. The exact amount of product is individual - you can use a smaller amount of cream and a larger amount of serum, depending on the current needs of the skin and the age of the year. The possibilities are numerous! The main benefit of mixing potent serums with a neutral cream is that it enables the gradual introduction and optimal dosing of potent active ingredients on sensitive skin. Only CLARIFYING SERUM should not be mixed with creams because it works best on its own.

What if I have sensitive skin?

These products are suitable for sensitive skin.

Is the morning routine a suitable base for make-up?

Absolutely! The intensive moisturizing and smoothing effect of the INSTANT REVITALIZING SERUM combined with the elegant texture of the HARMONIZING CREAM is an excellent makeup base.

Are all products safe to use during pregnancy?

All L'ADRIA products, except CLARIFYING SERUM, can be used during pregnancy. CLARIFYING SERUM contains salicylic acid, which is not recommended for use during pregnancy.

Can I use CLARIFYING SERUM in summer?

We recommend that you use SPF all year round. CLARIFYING SERUM contains BHA (salicylic acid), which is said to increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. However, according to the new recommendations (SCCS/1601/18, Final Opinion, Corrigendum of 20-21 June 2019), BHA is not actually photoirritant, photosensitizing or photocarcinogenic. CLARIFYING SERUM is also very rich in extremolites such as ectoine with proven photoprotective action. In combination with a product with SPF, which you should always use anyway, CLARIFYING SERUM is a very safe choice for use all year round.
