What are the best skin products for sebaceous hyperplasia? I am 48 years old. I have taken care of my skin since early 20’s with cleansing, acids, moisturising and then Vitamin C, nicinamide and Retinol 1%. But hyperplasia is difficult to treat.

You’re right, sebaceous hyperplasia, where you get lots of little bumps under the skin where oil has become trapped, is an absolute pain. I have lots of them on my face and when I went to see a dermatologist about this recently, he told me that they become more common with age, and to get rid of existing ones you need to tackle them directly with lasers. To reduce the rate at which they’re forming, he suggested sticking to skincare that would clean, hydrate and regenerate the skin without adding any extra oil, so that’s a glycolic or vitamin-C based wash-off cleanser, an L-ascorbic acid vitamin C serum in the mornings, plus a hyaluronic acid serum for hydration, then a mineral-based sunscreen, and at night, the same glycolic wash, plus a glycolic-acid night treatment product (or retinoid), or just the hydrating serum if you don’t want to use the treatment product every night.
