In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Dr Emma Craythorne is joined by fellow dermatologist Dr Ellie Rashid to dive deep into the truth about oily skin. From genetics and hormones to your microbiome and even your diet, they break down what’s really going on beneath the surface.

They also explore the pros of having oily skin, the most common issues that come with it (like acne, clogged pores, and dandruff) and how to tackle them effectively. Plus, they share how to choose the right products, what ingredients to look for, and when it’s time to call in the pros.

They talk oil-control blotting sheets, isotretinoin, spironolactone and give all their favorite products. If you want to figure out how to control your oily skin, this episode is a must-listen.
