oil control
Shine reduction method
Oil control refers to managing excess sebum production on the skin, particularly the face.
Skincare products marketed for oil control—cleansers, primers, blotting papers—aim to reduce shine and prevent clogged pores.
The term appears frequently in cosmetics advertising: This mattifying primer provides all-day oil control.
In automotive contexts, oil control describes piston ring function that prevents engine oil from entering combustion chambers.
