Oily Skincare

Prebiotics are food for the good bacteria on your skin. When you feed these good bacteria, they stay happy and strong – keeping your skin microbiome balanced. A balanced skin microbiome helps build a healthy skin barrier, your skin’s natural shield. A strong barrier locks in moisture and smooths texture, letting your skin better reflect light beautifully – revealing your natural, radiant glow.

We formulate with ingredients that are healthy for your skin- probiotic extracts, superfoods + powerful skincare actives that work.

Our approach to clean formulation is simple: We look to research & clinical studies to determine which ingredients we do & don’t include in our products.

We do not formulate with ingredients that have been clinically shown to be toxic, carcinogenic, harsh allergens or irritants that compromise the health of your skin. Our approach is based in science & transparency - you can search on TULA.com by ingredient preferences and always see the full ingredient listing on each product page.

We also do not test on animals & are certified cruelty-free.

We never have & never will test on animals. We’re proud to be certified cruelty-free.

When you’ve got oily skin, it’s all about balance — not stripping. Our Cult Classic® Purifying Face Cleanser is a favorite starting point. This gel-based cleanser gently removes excess oil, makeup, and impurities without stripping your skin. Follow up with our Secret Solution Pro-Glycolic® 10% Resurfacing Treatment Toner or other exfoliating treatment 2-3 times a week for purified & clarified skin. In the morning, Brightening Serum Skin Tint SPF 30 delivers breathable coverage, sun protection, and a subtle glow — while still keeping oil in check.

It’s all about using the right combination of products for oily skin. Stick to gentle, non-stripping cleansers to remove impurities without overdrying. Follow with a lightweight moisturizer to keep your skin balanced. Add in a mattifying serum or toner and you’re set.

Here’s a little skincare truth bomb: oily skin still needs moisturizer. If you skip it, your skin just makes more oil to compensate. So, choose a lightweight, oil-free formula to hydrate without clogging pores. Pair it with a non-stripping cleanser and a balancing serum or toner. This keeps skin comfortable and shine under control — without that tight, squeaky-clean feeling.

If you’re prone to shine, steer clear of heavy oils, pore-clogging mineral oil, and harsh alcohols that leave your skin tight and squeaky. Instead, look for:

• Niacinamide — helps minimize the look of pores and keeps oil production steady
• Salicylic acid — gently clears impurities from inside pores 
• Hyaluronic acid — gives weightless hydration without adding shine

And because this is TULA, every formula is free from over 1,600 potentially irritating ingredients — so you can focus on what works.

Washing too often is basically an invitation for your skin to make more oil. Twice a day is plenty. For in-between, reach for products like our Filter Primer Blurring & Moisturizing Primer — it smooths, helps control shine, and works perfectly under makeup. And let’s be real — blotting papers? They’re a lifesaver. Keep them in your bag, dab away the shine, and carry on with your day.
