Struggling with oily skin can be frustrating, but finding the right routine makes all the difference.

After trying many products, this simple regimen recommended by my dermatologist helped clear my skin and control shine. Here's what I do daily to keep my skin balanced and fresh!

Morning

1. Targeted Minimalist Salicylic Acid

I apply this only on problem areas like my nose or active pimples. Over time, I found it works better than many other salicylic acid products.

2. Isispharma Sunscreen

The most important step for oily skin is a mattifying sunscreen. This one leaves almost no white cast, feels light, and has been highly effective for me.

Night

1. Hada Labo Oil Cleanser

Double cleansing removes sunscreen and makeup thoroughly. I massage the oil cleanser with dry hands, then add water and continue, especially around the nose where clogged pores form.

2. Cerave Foaming Cleanser

Gentle and great for protecting the skin barrier, this cleanser has been my go-to for years.

3. Minimalist Salicylic Acid

If you're new to salicylic acid, start with once daily. If your skin handles it well, you can apply it twice a day on targeted spots.

4. The Ordinary Azelaic Acid 10%

This underrated product helps reduce redness from scars and treats acne. I apply it only on red marks and avoid overlapping with salicylic acid areas just to be safe.

This straightforward routine helped me control oil and acne without irritation. Hope this helps you too!
