Best Skincare Routine for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin (Step by Step)
If you have oily, acne-prone skin, you already know the struggle: shine by midday, constant breakouts, and the exhausting hunt for products that don’t make things worse. The truth is, the right routine can balance oil production, keep pores clear, and dramatically reduce breakouts. Here’s a science-backed step-by-step routine you can start today.
Step 1: Gentle Cleanse (Morning & Night)
Cleansing twice daily is essential for oily skin, but harsh cleansers strip too much oil and cause rebound overproduction.
👉 Use the Truly Clear Acne Bar. It combines salicylic acid with soothing aloe vera and shea butter to unclog pores without drying. Pro Tip: Leave the bar’s lather on your skin for 2–3 minutes before rinsing.
Step 2: Exfoliate (2–3 Times Weekly)
Dead skin and excess sebum lead to clogged pores. Gentle physical exfoliation helps.
👉 Try the Truly Clear Silicone Cleansing Pads for hygienic, non-abrasive exfoliation that removes impurities while protecting your skin barrier.
Step 3: Acne Treatment (Targeted Care)
For active pimples, use hydrocolloid patches. They draw out fluid, reduce inflammation, and protect skin from picking.

Step 4: Hydrate Without Oil
Oily skin still needs hydration. Look for oil-free moisturizers with hyaluronic acid. This keeps skin balanced so oil production doesn’t spike.
Step 5: Protect With SPF (Daily)
Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Choose a non-comedogenic, oil-free formula. Sun damage worsens acne scars and causes hyperpigmentation.
Step 6: Weekly Mask or Treatment
Use a clay or sulfur mask once a week to absorb excess oil and keep pores fresh. Rotate this step so you don’t over-dry your skin.
Long-Term Tips
-
Diet: High sugar and dairy often worsen breakouts.
