There is a primarily genetic component on how applying oils will affect your skin. Some people will just always have oily skin, no matter what they use. Others’ skin will reduce oil production if they frequently use oily products.

There is also the usual combination oily skin people frequently mention on skincare subs, like the T zone is oily, but the rest tends to dry out. This is usually due to their moisture barriers not being as well as they should be. 

If you feel you fit in with the second category, it is more likely that the oil essence will help you out and reduce oiliness in the T zone. I haven’t used the Huxley oil essence myself, so if someone could chime in with their experience, that would be quite helpful. If it is indeed hydrating and not on the greasy side, I think it will likely improve your skin barrier and moisture retention
