No this products not greasy, it goes on like a cream but dry's right away. I love this retinol because my skin is sensitive and a little oily.

Is not oily! Make your skin dryer! And really has effect to peeling a little bit!

I do not find this product greasy. I also have oily skin and I use it every night. It is quickly absorbed and leaves my skin moisturizers not greasy.

Not at all! It penetrates immediately and has a very light silky feel on the skin. I have been an Aesthetician for 30 years and have worked with Skinceiticals products for years. I have been very impressed with the science, research and technology that goes into their products! Some of my particular favorites are: The Retinols, All Vit C products, and the Hydrating B5 Gel. I also have oily skin, but get flacky because I'm always working very aggressively on my skin. The Hydrating B5 Gel is great under your makeup when your skin is flacky without looking or feeling oily! I hope this was helpful! Not at all!

I have oily skin in the tzone and normal everywhere else...it has not caused any breakouts. The argan oil itself is really light and I apply it multiple times a day.

I've been using this product for a few years, and go to a professional that also uses the product. In your case this might be a bit too rough for your skin type ( may actually aggravate it to start). I vita skin probiotic moisturizer and cleanser and perhaps the stone crop toner, would I think work for you. Keep it simple, this line also has the Vita skin booster ( serum) , these are all good for sensitive acne prone and oily skin. Perhaps add this in once you feel things are under control. I use this product , the strawberry rhubarb exfoliant, feels and looks like a very fine sand , talcum powder that can be mixed with your cleanser or with a few drops of water, two or three times a week. I love this product but my skin is more mature, not too sensitive. Hope this helps. This product is a great product I'm sure you will fine something that works for you.

This product doesn't have oil in it and because of that you need a really first class moisturizer after this has been on your skin. I cannot use oily products without my skin going crazy but a non oily moisturizer is a must if using retinol.

Maybe, you can try. If you have sensitive skin, I would not try it. Putting a lot of product on your face could irritate the skin and not help with any problems at all. If you have not experienced a product with retinol in it, I'd say try one product first then build with another one after you get used to it.

I have oily skin and I use a moisturizer under my EltaMD UV Clear... I would definitely recommend using a moisturizer under this, especially if you get dry and flaky. Let me know if I can be of more help - Kimberly @ beautystoredepot

definitely oily and I am not sure that it does all that much for the wrinkles. But it is moisturizing....... have not used the radical wrinkle complex

I am told the factor that makes daytime use a no-go in products is retinol. I have the list of ingredients in front of me and don't see retinol. Could it be called something else? All I know is that I've been using it day and night for more than a year and had no ill effects that I know of. My skin is very dry. I had to stop using the cleanser for that reason. I love the serum, though, and use it under the nighttime moisturizer day and night.

I love this product! I'm getting ready to order my second bottle.... I use moisturizer with sunscreen over the serum since the serum isn't a moisturizer, but it also depends on your skin type, mine is on the dryer side and I need the sunscreen also. Glad to hear you like it too!

I like Revitol. I does not feel oily so it might work for oily skin. I use it at night with a Hyaluronic Acid + Vit. C moisturizing serum first and then apply the Revitol. I can see the difference.

It is a really nice moisturizer, but that's about it. Zero retinol effect on my skin personally.

Retinol is good for wrinkles but it works even better for acne and pores. But there is not much retinol in this product. If you want something for blemishes and pores I would get the prescription "Differin" from your doctor or the generic for Differin will work just fine too. That will help with blemishes and it will also help with aging as it comes to you at your young age.

I have normal skin with occasional oily t zone. It does not leave a greasy feel. A little goes a long way. I mostly use before bed and sometimes when not in sun...have noticed fewer lines. Will be reordering.

I have the same problem! I love this stuff! NO more minor breakouts and not too oily or dry. My skin feels silky! During the day I do balance the slight oily feeling with all day wear makeup which I previously couldn't use cause it would be too dry and flaky looking in the dry spots! My skin is so clear and some of the lines are disappearing! Truth! At night it feels a little greasy, but when I wake up...bam! Baby butt skin! Lol

Oily skin is good as you age---not as many wrinkles. My skin isn't as oily now as it used to be, but it's still oily and this product works well because it absorbs quickly. Even oily skin can dry out in the sun.

So do I. It is VERY lightweight. Not oily at all. I kept using too much actually...It should last you 2 months. Use one pump only. Their moisturizer is also lightweight...I just started that along with this product about 2 weeks ago and no breakouts.

i use the combination/oily. they don't sell that in stores anymore though. so i have to buy them from here. as for this Sensitive formula, i tried it a few times...wasn't for me. it was a little pastier than i'm used to.
