Why Face Oil is Good for Oily Skin
Written by Kerry Benjamin

For years, we’ve been told that if you have oily skin, you should avoid face oils at all costs. The fear? That adding more oil will clog pores, cause breakouts, and make your skin even shinier. But this is one of the biggest myths in skincare. In reality, the right face oils can actually balance your skin, regulate oil production, and even help prevent breakouts. Let’s debunk this myth and explore why Shiunko Face Oil is a must-have, even for oily skin.
The Science: Why Oily Skin Needs Oil
Your skin naturally produces sebum, an oil that helps protect and hydrate your skin. However, when your skin lacks proper moisture, it can go into overdrive—producing excess oil to compensate. This leads to an endless cycle of greasy skin, clogged pores, and breakouts.
But here’s the truth:
- Oils help regulate sebum production – When you apply a nourishing, non-comedogenic oil, your skin receives the hydration it needs and stops overproducing oil.
- Oils strengthen the skin barrier – They lock in moisture, reducing irritation and inflammation.
- Some oils are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory – Meaning they can actually help prevent breakouts rather than cause them.
Why Shiunko Face Oil is Perfect for Oily Skin
Not all face oils are created equal. Many commercial oils contain heavy, pore-clogging ingredients that can contribute to breakouts. Shiunko Face Oil, however, is different.
- Fermented for Maximum Absorption – Fermentation breaks down the oil’s molecules into smaller, more bioavailable components, making it easier for your skin to absorb. This means it delivers hydration and nutrients deep into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
- Balances Oil Production – Instead of stripping the skin (which leads to rebound oiliness), it hydrates and calms the skin, signaling your sebaceous glands to slow down excess oil production.
- Anti-Inflammatory & Soothing – Infused with Shiunko root extract, known for its centuries-old healing properties, this oil helps calm redness, irritation, and acne-prone skin.
- Non-Comedogenic Formula – Designed to nourish without clogging pores, making it ideal for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin.
- Packed with Antioxidants – Helps combat environmental damage, keeping skin healthy and radiant.
What Makes Fermented Oil So Special?
Fermentation is a natural process that enhances the potency of skincare ingredients. When an oil is fermented:
- It becomes more bioavailable – The nutrients in the oil are broken down into smaller molecules, allowing for faster and deeper absorption.
- It’s gentler on the skin – Fermentation reduces potential irritants, making it suitable even for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
- It’s richer in antioxidants – The fermentation process increases the antioxidant content, helping to fight free radical damage and keep skin looking youthful.
How to Use Face Oil for Oily Skin
If you have oily skin, incorporating an oil like Shiunko Face Oil into your routine is simple:
- Apply after cleansing – Use a few drops on damp skin to lock in hydration.
- Use it as a last step in your skincare routine – Oils help seal in moisture and prevent water loss.
- Mix with moisturizer – If you’re hesitant about using oil alone, mix a drop into your favorite moisturizer for a lightweight hydration boost.
Final Thoughts
Oily skin doesn’t mean you need to avoid face oils—it means you need the right oil. Thanks to fermentation technology, Shiunko Face Oil is a game-changer, balancing oil production, calming inflammation, and delivering hydration without heaviness. Instead of stripping your skin, embrace oils and see the difference for yourself.
