Seborrhea skin care

How to choose seborrhea care products

Skin that produces excess oil benefits from lightweight textures that feel fresh and non heavy.

• Look for gel or fluid textures that absorb quickly
• Avoid rich occlusive creams that can feel heavy on the skin
• Choose products designed to support oil balance

For dry or flaky areas

Seborrhea often includes visible flakes that need gentle care without stripping the skin.

• Select products that cleanse without over drying
• Use moisturizers that support skin comfort and smoothness
• Avoid aggressive exfoliation

For sensitive or reactive skin

When redness or discomfort is present, simplicity is key.

• Choose formulas with a short and clear ingredient list

For persistent scalp concerns

The scalp needs consistent care that fits easily into your routine.

• Use targeted shampoos regularly rather than occasionally
• Rinse thoroughly to avoid product buildup
• Support scalp comfort between washes with leave in solutions if needed
