Oily and acne-prone skin does best with a gentle, consistent routine – not harsh scrubbing. Here is a simple routine to start with.
Evening
- Cleanse twice: an oil cleanser like Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, then a gentle gel cleanser like COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser.
- Exfoliate 2–3 times a week: Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant.
- Balance: The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%.
- Spot care: COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch overnight.
Morning
- Gentle cleanser, a soothing toner like Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner, and a light sunscreen.
Introduce one new product at a time. For persistent or severe acne, see a dermatologist.
