  1. The Ultimate Skincare Routine for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin Managing oily and acne-prone skin requires a well-structured skincare routine that balances oil production, prevents breakouts, and keeps the skin hydrated without clogging pores. Using dermatologist-approved pharmaceutical brands can significantly improve skin health by providing clinically tested and effective formulations. Here’s a step-by-step skincare routine tailored for oily and acne-prone skin: Step 1: Gentle Cleansing (Twice Daily) A good cleanser is the foundation of any skincare routine, especially for oily and acne-prone skin. It is essential for removing excess oil, dirt, and impurities without over-drying the skin. Look for a mild, sulfate-free cleanser with active ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide, or zinc PCA to help control oil and prevent acne. Avoid harsh soaps or alcohol-based cleansers, as they can irritate the skin. Recommended Products: ● Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser ● Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam ● Acnetrol cleanser ● Fash os facewash with salicylic acid ● Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (Salicylic Acid-Based) Step 2 : Moisturizing (Daily, AM & PM) Many people with oily skin believe they don’t need a moisturizer, but skipping this step can actually make oiliness worse. When the skin lacks hydration, it compensates by producing more oil, which can clog pores and cause breakouts.

  2. Even oily skin needs hydration to prevent excessive oil production. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic, oil-free moisturizers that provide hydration without clogging pores. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid are the chief ingredients in a moisturiser. Recommended Products: ● Aquasoft day cream with SPF 50 ● Cetaphil Oil-Free Moisturizer with SPF 30 ● Acnetrol moisturiser with SPF 30 Step 3: Sun Protection (Daily, AM Only) Sunscreen is crucial to prevent acne scars from darkening and to protect against UV damage. Choose an oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF. A gel-based or matte finish sunscreen is ideal for oily skin, as it prevents a greasy appearance. It must be applied twice-thrice daily and also 15 minutes before going out. Recommended Products: ● Photostable gold sunscreen ● Acnetrol UV sunscreen ● UV doux sunscreen Step 4: Nighttime Care (Retinoids or Acne gels) Nighttime is the best time to use retinoids or acne gel treatments to repair the skin and regulate oil production overnight. For those with sensitive skin or new to retinoids, starting with a lower concentration and gradually increasing usage helps

  3. prevent irritation. Always use moisturiser after this step to tackle dryness or flaking of skin. Recommended Products: ● Acnetrol AC gel (Adapalene 0.1% + Clindamycin 1%) ● Tretin 0.025-0.05 % cream ● Benzac AC 2.5-5% gel Conclusion A consistent skincare routine using high-quality, dermatologist-recommended products can effectively manage oily and acne-prone skin. Always introduce new products gradually and consult a dermatologist before using potent active ingredients like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. With the right approach, you can achieve balanced, clear, and healthy skin over time. Along with this, lifestyle modification with a healthy diet, adequate sleep and stress management are equally important measures complementing skin care routines. These factors directly correlate with hormonal balance and their disturbance can reflect over the skin, in the form of acne.
