Face wash for oily skin and a fresh, clear feel
A good face wash for oily skin clears away excess oil and the day's grime while keeping skin comfortable. Our edit has five clarifying cleansers, from £12.99, from Deyga, Vilvah and Highborn London.
Charcoal face wash
Deyga's Charcoal Face Wash 100ml (£25.99) uses activated charcoal to deeply cleanse and draw out impurities and excess oil. It is suitable for all skin types and gentle enough for daily use, so it makes a dependable morning and evening wash when your T-zone gets shiny. See the whole charcoal range for matching masks and bars.
Honey and milk powder
Vilvah's Honey Face Wash 100ml (£12.99) contains 10% raw honey plus papaya, blackberry and orange peel extracts to gently exfoliate and brighten, with witch hazel and gotu kola. It is pH-balanced. The Milk Powder Face Wash 50g (£13.99) is a water-free powder with hyaluronic acid, so it keeps oily skin hydrated rather than stripped.
Balm and luxury picks
Even oily skin benefits from a double cleanse at night. Deyga's Tangerine Cleansing Balm for Makeup Removal 30g (£15.99) dissolves waterproof make-up and sunscreen in one step. Highborn London's Crystal Cleanser (100ml, £24) cleanses and moisturises with Co-Enzyme Q10.
Cleanse twice a day, avoid very hot water, and follow with a light gel or cream. A weekly clay mask from our face mask for oily skin page helps too.

Face wash for oily skin questions
What should a face wash for oily skin do?

Twice a day is enough. Washing more often can leave skin feeling tight and oilier later.
Is charcoal face wash good for oily skin?
Charcoal is popular for oily skin because it helps lift away oil and impurities from the surface.
How much do these products cost?
Prices run from £12.99 to £25.99.
