Dr. Hauschka Face Care for oily skin. Restore your skin’s natural balance

Our facial care helps oily skin return to a more harmonious state, while our make up works in tandem to highlight your natural beauty. Each formula is crafted with nurturing botanicals chosen for their gentle, balancing qualities. Together, they give your skin exactly what it needs in the moment—resulting in refined pores and a more even, composed complexion. Beautiful skin, simply and naturally.

Dr. Hauschka is different.

We follow nature’s lead, working with its rhythms rather than against them. When your skin breaks out, becomes shiny, or appears blemished, it’s simply signaling that your current routine may no longer meet its needs. Our formulas help your skin reawaken and return to a natural state of balance.

Using an oil on oily skin may seem unconventional, and skipping exfoliating scrubs may feel counterintuitive—but our approach is intentionally different to work with the skin instead of against it. Life changes, and your skin seeks harmony through those changes. We’re here to support that journey with 100% certified natural skincare, crafted with botanicals that work with the rhythms of your skin towards balance. Key plants that anchor our care for oily skin:

What makes skin oily?

During times of change caused by factors like stress, hormones and diet, your skin works to maintain balance but can become overactive – and some of us are more prone to this. Overactive sebum or oil production enlarges pores which allows more oil to make its way to the skin’s surface, causing the skin look shiny and feel greasy. Accumulated dead skin cells are more apt to clog enlarged pores, trapping oil beneath the surface. The result is familiar: shiny skin with congested pores that have the potential to become whiteheads, blackheads or even blemishes.

Oily skin has many causes.

Oily skin often begins in our teenage years, when shine and blemishes first appear. For many, these concerns continue into adulthood. Hormonal shifts—such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause—as well as illness, medication, and stress can all influence the skin’s delicate equilibrium. Your skin also reflects what’s happening beneath the surface, from foods that don’t agree with you to a lack of rest or movement.

Your skin is a sensitive instrument, constantly responding to your overall well being. Mindful choices can make a meaningful difference. Foods high in refined sugar or unhealthy fats may stimulate excess sebum, while fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains help support balance. Hydration, herbal teas, and time outdoors further encourage clarity and harmony.

With supportive skincare and conscious lifestyle tweaks, you can gently guide your skin back toward equilibrium.

Tips for Oily Skin

Deep Cleansing

Our Clarifying Steam Bath supports the skin’s self-cleansing process, helps soften blackheads and wash away impurities with nurturing plant extracts nasturtium and calendula that mix with warm steam to work their magic. Follow with the effective Clarifying Clay Mask to draw out impurities and give skin deep cleanse and gentle exfoliation.

Give your skin a special treat(ment)

Our Renew & Activate Ampoules offers oily skin a powerful balancing impulse as a 28-night treatment. Our Clarifying Intensive Treatment calms, harmonizes and helps impurities disappear. Available for youthful skin (under 25) and adult skin (over 25).

A gentle alternative to exfoliation

Harsh scrubs and frequent chemical exfoliation can disrupt the skin’s natural protective layer, prompting it to thicken and potentially become drier. Instead, we recommend Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream and our Clarifying Clay Mask. Their soothing blend of nasturtium and witch hazel supports hardened, oily skin with enlarged pores or blemishes. The mask helps loosen impurities, bind excess sebum, and soften blackheads, while reducing the appearance of redness. Skin feels calm and balanced long after the treatment.

For an added touch of balancing care, follow with the Revitalizing Mask to leave skin refreshed, nourished, and beautifully even.

An instant beauty fix

Does your skin quickly become oily and have shiny patches? Lightly dab the affected areas with a cloth or wipe, then apply Dr. Hauschka Loose Powder or Compact Powder to naturally reduce shine. Spot treating with Revitalizing Mask and our Coverstick come to the rescue whenever you notice any blemishes.

Treat yourself to something beautiful

Dr. Hauschka estheticians know just what oily skin needs. A purifying facial treatment calms skin that is off balance – the perfect extra care ritual for a more beautiful you.

The perfect décolleté

If you have oily and blemished skin in the décolleté area, apply a mixture of Clarifying Day Oil and our Revitalizing Mask. The blend is quickly absorbed and the two products complement each other well.

From head to toe

What does body care have to do with facial care? More than you might think! We consider the person as a whole rather than separate parts. And we know that when you take care of your body, it shows in your face. Traditional baths and foot baths soothingly unite the body and mind, leaving the facial skin looking clearer and more balanced. We particularly recommend our Sage Purifying Bath Essence, which can also be used as a refreshing addition to a bowl of water used to rinse your face or as a facial compress for blemished skin.

Our nurturing plants for clear skin

Organic, biodynamic or wild- harvested botanical extracts are at the heart of every Dr. Hauschka formulation. They help awaken the skin’s own innate abilities, offering support exactly where it is needed.
