The Best Reviva Labs Products for Oily Skin

Oil-prone skin doesn’t just glow – it often looks shiny or feels slick, especially by midday. While it’s easy to reach for harsh astringents or over-strip your skin, oily skin isn’t a curse. It’s a call for balance. When properly cared for, oily skin tends to age more slowly and stays naturally hydrated. The key is choosing skincare that manages shine, refines texture and minimizes congestion without disrupting your skin’s protective barrier.

That’s where Reviva Labs comes in. With more than five decades of experience formulating functional skincare powered by nature and supported by science, Reviva has a lineup that suits oily and combination complexions. Whether you’re looking to control breakouts or refine texture, the right Reviva regimen can help you look clear and fresh without stripping your skin.

Start with Smart Cleansing

Every good routine starts with a cleanser. But not all cleansers are gentle enough for oily skin that’s also reactive or prone to dryness. Reviva’s Glycolic Acid Facial Cleanser is a strong choice because it provides a deep clean without creating rebound oiliness. With 3% glycolic acid, this creamy cleanser exfoliates while removing excess oil, dirt and buildup. It also contains aloe and chamomile to calm the skin.

This cleanser is especially helpful for oily skin types dealing with breakouts or uneven texture. Unlike harsh foaming formulas, it preserves the skin barrier and helps keep pores clear. For those who have super sensitive and oily skin our Sea Salt Cleansing Gel is a good option if the Glycolic Acid Cleanser is too harsh.

Tone Without Tightness

After cleansing, oily skin still needs support. Reviva’s Glycolic Acid Facial Toner delivers that next step. With 4.2% glycolic acid, this toner clears away residue and lightly exfoliates to help tighten pores. It also includes glycerin and hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration.

This toner resets the skin’s pH after cleansing and can improve skin texture over time. Regular use may help smooth the surface and reduce the look of large pores. And because it avoids the sting of alcohol-based toners, it works well for sensitive oily types.

Refine with Glycolic Acid Crème

Exfoliating acids help oily skin stay clear and smooth. Reviva’s 10% Glycolic Acid Crème has a higher concentration of glycolic acid than the cleanser or toner, making it an ideal treatment for nightly use.

It targets texture issues and encourages cell turnover. What makes this product effective yet balanced is the blend of safflower oil, pumpkin seed oil, CoQ10 and chamomile. It moisturizes while it works, keeping the skin calm and clear.

Hydration Without Weight

There’s a common myth that oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer. It does. In fact, skipping hydration can make oily skin even oilier.

Reviva’s InterCell Hyaluronic Acid Day Crème delivers hydration without feeling heavy. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a blend of natural oils, it helps retain moisture while keeping skin smooth and balanced. The lightweight texture absorbs easily, making it a comfortable base under makeup or sunscreen. This moisturizer helps calm the skin and supports a smoother surface throughout the day.

Night Support for Oily Skin

Evening routines are essential for maintaining balance. The InterCell Hyaluronic Acid Night Gel is a water-based gel designed to hydrate oily skin overnight. It contains hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA to draw moisture into the skin without clogging pores.

This gel is especially useful during warmer months or for those who avoid heavy night creams. It helps skin feel refreshed in the morning without leaving a greasy layer.

Clay Mask for Weekly Clarity

Oily and congested skin often benefits from a targeted mask. Our Problem Skin Mask is made to treat blemishes and shine without over-drying. It uses kaolin clay, zinc oxide, sulfur and eucalyptus to draw out impurities and reduce surface oil.

It’s ideal for use once or twice a week, and many find it helpful as a spot treatment for active blemishes.

Support Brighter Skin

Uneven tone and leftover marks are common concerns for oily skin. Reviva’s Dark Spot Brightening Serum helps address that with a mix of eight brighteners, including niacinamide, glycolic acid, kojic acid and arbutin. Niacinamide is a key ingredient for oily skin. It helps reduce oil production and redness while brightening the overall complexion. This serum can be layered under moisturizers and used daily, though SPF should always follow morning application.

For additional support, the Multi-Factor Brightening Crème offers a cream-based option to target stubborn discoloration. It combines natural brighteners like licorice and bearberry with exfoliating acids to help refine tone and texture. Used alongside the serum or on its own, it delivers visible results with a gentle, non-greasy finish suitable for oily skin.

Daily Serum for Oil Control

One of the most targeted options in the current line is the Nourishing Niacinamide Serum. It’s formulated with 5% niacinamide to help manage shine and improve skin tone. The addition of sodium hyaluronate, avocado oil, rosemary and neem make it gentle yet effective.

This serum is a strong choice for anyone dealing with oily skin and uneven tone. It’s lightweight, layers well and doesn’t interfere with other active ingredients.

How These Products Work Together

Reviva’s approach is based on improving skin function. None of these products rely on drying alcohols or extreme pH shifts. Instead, they support gentle exfoliation, barrier health and hydration.

Common Questions

Should oily skin skip moisturizers?

No. Hydration helps regulate oil production. Use lightweight, water-based moisturizers like InterCell Hyaluronic Acid Day Crème or Antioxidant Day Creme or InterCell Night Gel.

Is glycolic acid safe to use every day?

It depends on your skin. The toner and cleanser can be used daily. Our 10% Glycolic Acid crème is formulated to be used daily. But you can alternate nightly with our Multi-Factor Brightening Creme.

Can niacinamide help with breakouts?

Yes. It reduces inflammation and excess oil, both of which contribute to blemishes.

What’s the best option for visibly clogged pores?

Try the Glycolic Acid Toner and Problem Skin Mask as part of a regular routine.

Long-Term Benefits for Oily Skin

Managing oily skin isn’t about removing oil. It’s about supporting the skin, so it functions better on its own. When you use products that focus on clarity, hydration and balance, you’ll likely see fewer breakouts, tighter pores and a more even surface.

Reviva Labs makes that process easy with gentle, well-formulated options that avoid harsh additives. Whether you start with one product or invest in the full Oily Skin Bundle, you’re building a routine that supports healthy, comfortable skin.
