Keeping oily, acne-prone skin clear and balanced isn’t easy (I get it). Here you’ll find my gentle but effective products I actually use to keep my skin clear.
My go-to budget-friendly serum that really helps control my oil production. This formula also includes 1% Zinc which helps calm my redness.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
The only face wash I use! It really helped clear up my skin, but more noticeably it completely clears my back! I don't get much body acne but I noticed I was having some spots on my shoulders (assuming from haircare products), I used it and the next ...
PanOxyl Maximum Strength Antimicrobial Acne Foaming Wash for Face, Chest and Back with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide - Unscented - 5.5oz
When I want to feel at a spa, or when my skin just need some extra help, I slap this on and call it a day. I specifically like this one because there are no fragrances as per their ingredient list.
Avatara Niacinamide Water Gel Face Mask - 0.71 fl oz
I don't use this often just because of how powerful it is, but I'll put it on when my skin feels wayyy too oily. This literally strips my face completely and gives me that deep pore cleansing. P.S - Keep in mind to hydrate and moisturize after to kee...

Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
This is a great sunscreen all around. It's oil-free and matts my skin. It is a little pricy BUT you have to invest in skincare, especially if your not blessed with perfect skin!

I’ve collected my favorite lightweight, non-clogging products that stay in place, help with shine, and won’t make breakouts worse. These are my holy-grail products! 💄✨
#1 foundation for acne-prone, oily skin (in my opinion ofc). It's oil-free, fragrance free, non-comedogenic, derm (and Ophthalmologist) tested and leaves a matt-finish. Literally my all-in-one foundation.
CN 40 Cream Chamois Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup Foundation - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
When I'm feeling extra oily, I use this to matt my skin throughout the day. It doesn't have much of a color either so it doesn't make me look like a ghost or give me a weird tint.
Stay-Matte Invisible Blotting Powder - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
This primer contains Salicylic acid and Zinc to fight off acne, reduce inflammation, and provides anti-aging benefits.
