Oily Skin? Yes, You Can (and Should) Use a Facial Serum

Let’s bust the myth: serums aren’t just for dry skin

If you have oily skin, you’ve probably heard—or believed—that serums aren’t for you. But at COCO SALVAJE, we’re here to set the record straight:

Yes, serums are for oily skin too, and they might be exactly what your skin is craving.

First, let’s understand oily skin

Oily skin tends to produce excess sebum, which can lead to shine, enlarged pores, and sometimes breakouts. In trying to “dry out” the skin, many people turn to harsh products that end up stripping the skin’s natural barrier.

What happens next? The skin overcompensates by producing even more oil.

That’s where a light, balancing serum can make a big difference.

So, can a serum help? Absolutely.

Our COCO SALVAJE facial serum is crafted with light, non-comedogenic natural ingredients that nourish without clogging pores or leaving a greasy feel. In fact, it can help your skin stay balanced and hydrated—without overdoing it.

Why is it perfect for oily skin?

• Jojoba oil: Its structure mimics your skin’s natural oils, helping regulate sebum production.
• Vitamin E & botanical extracts: Calm, repair, and strengthen your skin barrier.
• Lightweight texture: Absorbs quickly without clogging pores.
• No silicones, alcohol, or synthetic fragrance.

When and how should I use it?

• Apply it morning and night, after cleansing.
• Use 2–3 drops on clean, dry skin.
• Gently massage in and let it absorb before applying sunscreen or makeup.

What if I have acne-prone skin?

Our serum is non-comedogenic and gentle, meaning it won’t clog your pores or trigger breakouts. That said, if you’re on any prescription treatments, it’s always best to check with your dermatologist.

Many people with combination or acne-prone skin have found great results using our serum as part of their daily routine.

Bottom line: less oil, more balance

Don’t be afraid of natural oils—when used correctly, they help your skin rebalance and thrive. At COCO SALVAJE, we’re all about products that support your skin’s natural rhythm with clean, conscious, and effective formulas.
