It is a universal issue: men around the world name oily skin as one of their key concerns. Sorry fellas!
What makes them oilier? Men have more sebum-producing sebaceous glands than women, which can lead to excess shine, oil, and enlarged pores.
Men also sweat more than women, which exacerbates the sensation of greasy residue on skin. As a result, men with oily skin can be hesitant to apply any skincare products for fear of making the situation worse.
With summer on its way, a traditionally a very oily, sweaty season, men are in skin care trouble. So this month, Kiehl's launches Oil Eliminator, a new three-step regimen. The brand is said to have gone to space to find the technology to work with a man's skin to manage excess oil.
The secret is Aerolite, an advanced material based on the science of aerogel. Aerogel was used as an insulating material on Mars Exploration Rover in 1997.
Aerolite is the lightest solid material on Earth and is highly porous, which allows it to absorb four times its own weight in oil, perfect for our oily guys.
Kiehl's has used this ingredient to help disperse and vaporizes sweat away from the skin. The material's irregular surface scatters light as well, which creates a blurring effect.
