Cleanse
First step in the routine is cleanse. When buying a face gel it is very important to get one suitable for your skin type, in our case oily skin.
This cleanser helped me dry up pimples, but after washing with it, my skin felt dry (which is the point), but I personally don't like such a strong cleanser, but if you think that it doesn't bother you, I highly recommend it.
Effaclar Gel Cleanser for Oily Skin | La Roche-Posay
This one is a little bit lighter, doesn't dry the face that much. I recommend it if you have not so many pimples.
Bioderma, Sebium, Purifying Cleansing Foaming Gel, 6.7 fl oz (200 ml)
This one helped me clean most of my pimples (again I recommend it if you don't have many pimples). It doesn't leave my face all dried out, it leaves it very smooth and is also very affordable.
EXTRA-RICH DERMATOLOGICAL GEL Foaming cleansing gel
This cleanser is my favourite one. It is formulated with salicylic acid and niacinamide, which I think helped me the most, and it doesn't contain parfum which is a plus.
CeraVe - Blemish Control Cleanser
The best cleansing oil out there. It removes all makeup and blackheads, your skin feels really soft and you can comfortably wash your eyes without burning. I swear by this product.
Kose - Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil Pump (2024 Version) - 240ml
Gel-Cream
Gel-cream is a very important step in the routine, because I want to dry my pimples extra, and it really helps to achieve that.
I noticed a difference with using this after 2 days. I apply it just on the pimples. If my face is extra full of pimples, I apply it twice a day, in the morning (if I don't wear make-up) and in the evening.
Bioderma Sebium Kerato + Gel-Cream SweetCare United States
This one has a very light texture and feels really good on the skin, keeping it matte and fresh all day long.
CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizing Gel-Cream, Face Moisturizer for Oily Skin Fragrance Free
Тhis gel-cream is a bit on the expensive side, but I think it's totally worth it. I apply it 2 times a day.
Confidence in a Gel Cream Oil-Control Face Moisturizer
Creams
When it comes to moisturizers, I keep it down to using a small amount and very light ones, with the fact that I want to dry my face (pimples), and I don't like heavy creams so I don't have the opposite effect.
As cooler weather is coming, this cream is ideal to use. It contains Green Tea, which is ideal to keep skin clear and protected. I highly recommend this one.
Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Serum
This one is my absolute favourite. Not only does it have a light texture and reduces shine, but it also contains SPF, which is a game changer for me.
Cetaphil Derma Control Oil Absorbing Moisturizer, SPF 30
SPF
The last step of my routine is SPF. It's a very important step, because we need to protect our skin. You have to use SPF on whatever type of skin you have, but for my case it's oily and I need an oil-free SPF.
The best SPF I've tried. It doesn't leave white marks, you are free to put on makeup after it, it's not greasy. I think it's a must have product.
BEAUTY OF JOSEON - Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotic SPF50+ PA++++
Blends easily and doesn't leave white marks. Looks perfect when I apply makeup.
Clear Skin Sunscreen for Face, Oil-Free, SPF 60
This one is not so affordable, but it's really good. Feels very light and my skin feels instantly smooth and mattified.
Oil and Pore Control Mattifying Face Sunscreen SPF 45 PA++++
Perfectly blends in my skin, and provides a non-greasy base for makeup. It's not as mattifying as others but it sure reduces shine.
Eucerin Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, Oil Control
Feels very light on the skin.
Rohto Mentholatum - Skin Aqua Sunscreen Super Moisture Gel Pump SPF50+ PA++++ - 140g
