Symptoms of oily skin may include a shiny appearance, clogged pores, pimples, or skin that looks rough. Oily skin frequently affects the face. Symptoms of oily skin include:

- a shiny or greasy appearance

- very large or obvious pores on the skin

- skin that looks thick or rough

- occasional or persistent pimples

- clogged pores and blackheads

- People with oily skin may have trouble finding makeup to suit their skin, as the makeup can mix with the sebum, giving it a different consistency.

The symptoms of oily skin and their severity vary between people. Genetics may play a role in how oily the skin becomes. Hormone changes or high-stress levels may also increase the production of oily sebum by the body.
