Oily Skin Power Serum

Botanical Face Serum for Oily and Congested Skin — Made in Malaysia

Oily skin doesn't need stripping. It needs balance.

RM98

Small-batch · Crafted in KL by Tracy

Strip the oil away and your skin reads it as a shortage — so it produces more. The way out isn't a harsher cleanser; it's the right oil. Jojoba is almost identical to your skin's own sebum, so it signals that production can slow down, while lightweight safflower and squalane keep things matte without clogging. You're not fighting oil. You're rebalancing where it comes from.

The formulation

What's in it and why

Built on safflower — one of the highest-linoleic botanical oils available — and jojoba, slow-infused with calendula to calm the inflammation behind congestion. Squalane provides light moisturisation without triggering excess oil production. Palmarosa regulates sebum over time. Geranium offers an astringent action that refines pores and reduces visible shine. Eucalyptus brings additional clarifying properties. Rosemary leaf extract protects the formula's integrity. The serum is intentionally lightweight — it penetrates without residue, which means oily skin accepts it where it would reject thicker formulas.

This is for you if

  • Your skin turns shiny or oily within hours of cleansing
  • You have congested pores, closed comedones, or texture bumps
  • Over-cleansing has made your skin increasingly oily or reactive over time
  • You have combination skin that needs rebalancing, not stripping

May not suit you if

  • Your skin is primarily dry or barrier-compromised — try the Dry Skin Power Serum
  • You are looking for a water-based or mattifying formula

What customers say

I was oily by noon every day for years. Three weeks in, I'm barely oily by 5pm. I don't understand the science but I can see it working.

Aiman F. · Kuala Lumpur

Oily, congested skin

My skin texture changed completely. The small bumps I had on my forehead are gone. I didn't expect that from an oil-based product but here we are.

Rachel T. · Penang

Combination skin, congestion

I messaged Tracy not believing an oil could help oily skin. She explained the linoleic thing and it made sense. She was right. My skin is genuinely calmer.

The formulation

Why it works

Waterless

No water means every millilitre is active ingredient. No dilution. No preservatives to fight contamination from water.

8-week infusion

Plant compounds need time to fully transfer. We slow-infuse for 8 weeks — not hours — so the concentration is something you can feel.

Steroid-free always

No steroids. No synthetic fragrance. No ingredients your skin has to fight. Just botanicals doing what they were made to do.
