Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, often leading to shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and breakouts. While genetics play a role, hormones, stress, and unsuitable skincare can also contribute to oiliness. At The Cosmetic Suite, our expert-led treatments and targeted skincare can help regulate oil production, clear congestion, and restore skin clarity, without stripping or irritation.

We would recommend AviClear for treating oily/acne prone skin at its root. This revolutionary laser treatment is FDA-approved and specifically designed to target the sebaceous glands, reducing oil production over time. By suppressing sebum activity, AviClear addresses the core cause of oily skin and helps prevent future breakouts. With a short treatment time, no downtime, and long-lasting results, it’s a true game-changer for oily and acne-prone skin.
