Oil Balance Without Over-Stripping

Oily skin is often treated too aggressively.

Harsh cleansing and overuse of actives can leave skin feeling tight, uncomfortable or imbalanced.

28N oil-balance routines focus on a different approach: cleansing effectively, supporting clarity and maintaining skin comfort.

Microalgae Balance Foaming Cleanser is powered by Chlorella microalgae and gentle biosurfactants to support excess sebum control while respecting the skin barrier.

Vitamin C Booster combines stabilised Vitamin C with Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate to support oil balance, clarity and a more even-looking complexion.

The goal is balanced skin — not stripped skin.

How to Build Your Oil Balance Routine

Consistency matters. For best visible results, use your 28N routine morning and evening for 28 days.

Step 1: Cleanse

Start with Microalgae Balance Foaming Cleanser. Massage onto damp skin, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Step 2: Apply Vitamin C Booster

Apply Vitamin C Booster to clean skin as your first serum step.

If you are using B⁶ Brightening Formula or A⁶ Anti-Ageing Formula, Vitamin C Booster can be mixed with them in the palm of your hand and applied as one serum step.

Step 3: Support hydration and comfort

Follow with 3D Barrier Defence if parts of your skin feels dry, tight or needs extra comfort.

Step 4: Finish with SPF

In the morning, finish with Urban Daily Defence SPF15 PA+++ to support daily protection and help maintain visible results.
