Products for oily skin: what works (and what you should avoid)

Having oily skin doesn't mean your skin is dirty or that you need harsh products. In fact, the most common mistake is using strong cleansers or alcohol that only make the problem worse. The key is to balance, not eliminate.

If you're looking for effective products for oily skin that don't irritate or dry it out, here's a clear guide with real solutions.

How do you know if you have oily skin?

• Your skin shines a few hours after washing it
• You have enlarged pores, especially on your nose and forehead
• You often have blackheads or pimples
• Makeup (if you use it) doesn't last long
• You feel that no soap "really cleanses you"

Maxalli: functional products for oily skin

1. Balancing Serum and other water-based serums

Specially formulated for oily or blemish-prone skin. Contains:

• Zinc lactate: controls sebum without drying
• Dexpanthenol and allantoin: soothe and hydrate the skin
• Erythritol and propanediol: keep skin fresh and smooth

Absorbs in seconds and leaves skin matte, without a greasy feeling.

2. Natural Deodorant without aluminum or baking soda

Armpit skin can also be oily and sensitive. Commercial deodorants often contain ingredients that block pores or alter pH.

Maxalli offers deodorants:

• Aluminum-free, baking soda-free, alcohol-free
• With antimicrobial essential oils
• 100% plant-based formula that respects the natural balance

Ideal if you get bumps, spots, or irritation in your armpits.

3. Shampoo without salt or sulfates

The scalp is also skin, and if you have excess oil on your face, you probably have it on your head too.

Maxalli's salt and sulfate-free shampoo with mint, chamomile, and salicylic acid deeply cleanses without drying or irritating:

• Regulates oil
• Refreshes and soothes the scalp
• Helps keep clean for longer

Perfect for daily use or hot days.

4. Men's Intimate Gel

The intimate area also needs a special product if you have oily skin or sweat a lot.

Maxalli's intimate gel:

• Gently cleanses without sulfates
• Contains essential oils, a natural antimicrobial
• Respects the acidic pH of the area, preventing bad odor or irritation

Ideal for after exercise or on hot days.

What to avoid if you have oily skin?

• Soaps with sulfates or alcohol
• Dense or very occlusive creams
• Deodorants with aluminum or baking soda
• Using conventional shampoo on your face or intimate area

Oily skin doesn't need punishment, it needs balance. Maxalli designs every product with that in mind.
