The ultimate showdown of serums for oily skin
We took real serums, real oily skin and Chennai's heat — and let the skin decide.
First, we went looking for oily skin
They told us about their skin, their concerns, and what they expect from a serum. Out of 6,000 registrations, we shortlisted 10 participants with oily skin and real-world challenges — and brought them to Chennai.

The oily skin dilemma
Your entire routine respects your skin type.
So why not your serum?
Most of us choose serums strictly by concern — dark spots, acne marks, dullness, uneven tone — while ignoring our skin type. For oily skin, that creates a frustrating loop.
To break the cycle, we tested our serums on real people with real oily skin — delivering real results.
Test 01
Does your serum settle into your skin, or leave a sticky feeling behind? We applied both serums side by side and used a feather test to compare absorption.
Face full of feathers
Hardly any feathers non-sticky finish
Test 02
Does your serum layer well, or make your routine feel heavier? We layered sunscreen over both sides, then scraped it back: does the serum absorb fully to let the next layer reach your skin, or does it sit on top?
Visible sunscreen residue
Almost zero residue
Test 03
The ultimate litmus test: how a serum performs in the hottest part of the day. We built a heat pod to recreate a blistering Chennai afternoon, and measured oil levels on both sides of the face to see which serum truly controls shine under real heat.
