Myth or fact?

Oil-control products have to feel tight or dry to actually work.

Fact

Fortunately, this is a myth!

That tight, dry feeling isn't proof a product is working — it's a sign your barrier is being stripped, not supported. If oil-control has always meant discomfort for you, that's a formulation problem, not something your skin has to put up with.

Myth

You're right, this is a myth!

That tight, dry feeling is a sign that your barrier is being stripped, not supported.

Our serum is formulated at a skin-friendly pH of 5.5, close to skin's natural level. It manages excess sebum without stripping the skin.

Oil control that works with your skin, not against it.

Most oil-control products strip the skin’s natural oils, making it feel tight and dry —causing the skin to overcompensate, producing even more oil.

FOR EVERYDAY WEAR

No harsh actives, no stripping, no rebound shine, no white cast. Safe for skin that needs oil control most, without irritation.

FOR HOT AND HUMID CLIMATES

Applies as a light, watery liquid that sets into a true matte finish that holds. It is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and made for tropical humidity.

FOR YOUR MAKEUP ROUTINE

The last skincare step before sunscreen and makeup — smoother base, foundation that lasts longer. Does not contain silica and zinc oxide which sit on the skin and clog pores.

FOR EVERYONE

Not just a women's product — built for oily skin, whether that's a teenager's first breakout or your husband's 3pm shine.

REGULATION-FIRST FORMULA, BUILT FOR BALANCE IN HUMID CLIMATES

Working with our Korean lab, we paired niacinamide with bee-derived and plant actives — creating a targeted system so your skin stays balanced, hydrated, and shine-free through the day.

NIACINAMIDE

Balances oil, strengthens the skin barrier, and boosts hydration while calming redness for a healthier, more even complexion.

HONEY & ROYAL JELLY

Smooths fine lines by supporting skin regeneration and relaxing micro-contractions—improving elasticity, hydration, and overall skin firmness.

Rhodomyrtus Tomentosa Fruit Extract

Restores the skin barrier by locking in moisture, reducing water loss, and keeping skin strong, calm, and hydrated.

PINUS PALUSTRISLEAF EXTRACT

A protective molecule that strengthens skin resilience, locks in hydration, and calms sensitivity under environmental and active stress.

What our customers are saying

I'm not familiar with skincare but started using this serum regularly and my face is visibly less oily throughout the day.
— Christian

I tend to get oily around my T-zone, especially when I wear makeup. I now use this serum before I apply my base and am definitely less oily and shiny, even after 12 hours of wear! My makeup also stays in place and does not slide around by mid-day.
— SM Lee

I was afraid of products that claimed to control oil as all of them really dried my skin out. This serum however is lightweight and does not suck my skin dry. I actually don't feel anything different when I first apply it but it controls my shine and effectively "prevents" oil from showing.
— Serene

Skincare, not just for her.

Oily skin affects more than just women. I started to wonder if oil control could work without drying out the skin, and if it could be made for everyone. This serum helps balance oil at its source instead of removing it completely. It's gentle enough for someone new to serums, but strong enough for anyone dealing with oily skin. Whether you want your makeup to last, you notice shine after lunch, or your skin is changing during puberty, this serum is made for you.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

Will the serum dry out my skin?

No! The serum is designed to regulate oil, not remove it. Honey and Royal Jelly keep skin hydrated while Niacinamide works on excess shine, so you get a matte-but-comfortable finish, not a tight or stripped one.

Is the serum suitable for teenagers and free from harmful ingredients?

Yes. The serum is formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and other harmful ingredients — gentle enough for daily use on teenage and sensitive skin, yet still effective on oil, shine, and acne.

Can I use the serum with makeup?

Definitely! The serum is designed as your last skincare step before makeup. Apply after moisturiser to create a smoother base that helps makeup sit better and last longer through the day.

Is this different from a mattifying primer?

Yes. A primer just sits on top of skin to mask shine temporarily. This serum works with your skin to regulate oil production at the source, so the effect isn't just visual, and it doesn't wear off the moment you touch your face.

How soon will I see results?

Most people notice less shine and a smoother, more balanced feel from the first few uses. Because it works with your skin rather than stripping it, longer-term benefits, like fewer breakouts and more consistent oil control, build with regular use.
