Is NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution right for you?
- If your skin is visibly shiny within an hour of washing your face — sebum overproduction is the root cause, and treating it requires more than blotting papers and mattifying powders. Oily Skin Solution addresses the cause, not the symptom.
- If enlarged pores and a persistently shiny T-zone affect your confidence in person or in photos — this targeted solution regulates sebum and visibly minimises pore size with consistent use.
- If your makeup never lasts and always breaks down in the areas that matter most — controlling oil at the source means your SPF and foundation go on and stay on.
- If you break out regularly in the same areas and nothing ever clears the cycle — excess sebum feeds the bacteria that trigger acne. Regulating oil production is one of the most effective steps in managing adult breakouts.
- If you feel like your skin controls you rather than the other way around — oily skin is not a character flaw. It is a treatable condition.
How NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution works — the science
Oily skin is driven primarily by androgen hormones that stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce excess sebum. This sebum combines with dead skin cells inside the pore, creating the congestion that leads to blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory acne. Excess sebum at the surface also interferes with the adhesion of SPF and makeup, shortens their effective wear time, and creates the midday shine that most patients find distressing.
NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution contains a combination of AHA exfoliants and sebum-regulating actives that work on both problems simultaneously. The exfoliating component keeps the pore clear by removing the dead cells that combine with sebum to form comedones. The sebum-regulating complex signals the sebaceous glands to reduce output, addressing the source of the problem rather than just managing the visible result.
With consistent twice-daily use, pore size visibly decreases as congestion clears and sebum production normalises. The skin achieves a balanced matte finish — not artificially dried out, but genuinely regulated.
What you will notice — and when
Immediately — Skin feels clean and balanced after application. Slight mattifying effect is noticeable from the first use.
Week 1-2 — Midday shine is reduced. Existing congestion begins to clear. Skin texture improves.
Month 1+ — Pores appear smaller and cleaner. The cycle of breakouts slows significantly. Foundation and SPF last noticeably longer through the day.
How to use NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution
- After cleansing, apply a small amount to oily zones (forehead, nose, chin, cheeks as needed).
- Use morning and evening.
- Follow with a lightweight moisturiser if needed, then SPF in the morning.
- Do not combine with other high-concentration AHA products in the same routine.

Dr. Bangalee's clinical perspective
| Dr. Bangalee Recommends | |
|---|---|
| "Oily skin is one of the most common concerns I see, and it is often undertreated because patients rely on cosmetic fixes rather than addressing the underlying sebum production. NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution is a clinically grounded approach — I prescribe it as part of treatment programmes for acne, enlarged pores, and patients who simply cannot get their skin under control with standard products." | Dr. Rajeev Bangalee MBBch · HPCSA Reg. MP 0558605 Star Aesthetic Centre |
What our patients say
| "I used to touch up my makeup three times a day. Now I touch it up once, maybe not at all. The shine is just gone." Bianca, Umhlanga |
"My pores used to be the first thing I noticed in the mirror. After 2 months they are genuinely less visible. I did not think a product could do that." Sipho, Morningside |
"I have had oily skin my whole adult life and assumed I was stuck with it. This is the first product that has actually changed how my skin behaves." Cleo, Westville |
Frequently asked questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will this dry my skin out? | It will reduce excess oil, but it is not designed to strip the skin. Most patients achieve a balanced matte finish rather than feeling dry or tight. |
| Can oily skin also be dehydrated? | Yes — many oily skin patients are actually dehydrated. The skin overproduces oil to compensate for lack of water. A lightweight hydrating product can sometimes reduce oiliness. |
| How long before I see results? | Most patients see a meaningful reduction in midday shine within 2 weeks and visible pore improvement within 6-8 weeks. |
| Can I use this on my body for oily chest or back skin? | Yes — apply to any sebum-prone areas as needed. |
| Is it safe during pregnancy? | Consult your doctor before using AHA-based products during pregnancy, particularly in higher concentrations. |
