Oily skin has their own set of challenges like excess shine, large pores, and even frequent breakouts in the skin. There are times where we have heard oily skin people saying “my skin is never calm”. Even though it’s not high maintenance work, doing them consistently will help. With the right blend of products you can help in dealing with oily skin concerns.

Dealing with oily skin is not a challenging task, when you know how to deal with it. A smart way helps in tackling the breakout and even helps in balancing the oil secretion in the skin. In this blog, you will know what kind of products you can use, and how to incorporate them effectively in your routine, and also how they work together!

Acne Routine with Pimple Remover Cream for Oily Skin

The sebaceous glands in the skin tend to produce more oil than usual. In that case, when the oil combines with dead skin cells , sweat, pollution, or even with product build-ups, they tend to cause inflamed skin and also breakouts.

In such case, here is a simple routine that helps:

• You will need a cleanse which removes excess oil secretion without stripping the natural oils.

• A healing or soothing product helps in calming the skin rather than aggressive products.

• Follow up with a light-weight moisturizer, which is non-comedogenic too.

When you have a combination of oily and acne-prone skin, make sure to balance them in a proper way so that you don't miss any part. 

Perfect Trio for Oily, Breakout-Prone Skin

For this case, balancing is a key. Here is a trio which helps in dealing with oily and acne-prone skin which is nothing but cleanser, soothing gel, followed by a light-weight moisturizer.

1. Cleanser/Face Wash

What it is & how it helps

• A foaming cleanser which helps in controlling the excess oil secretion and also helps in brightening skin.

• Using a vitamin C based face wash helps in brightening the skin and even helps in improving the texture of the skin.

• Ensure to choose a face wash which cleanses and at the same time does not strip off the natural oils in the skin.

• Choose products which are free from harsh chemicals, like without parabens and sulphates.

How to use it

• You can use them in the morning and night routine.

• Focus on your T-zone while using facewash

• When you are outdoors or sweating out, then make sure to double cleanse in the night routine.

Why is it great? - Being too busy in everyday life might be challenging. But keeping a routine which is minimalistic  helps in keeping skin fresh and less shiny.

2. Soothe/Calms Skin

What it is & how it helps

Post facewash, make sure to use “Aloe Vera Gel”, since they help in calming your acne or pimple-prone skin. If you have acne-prone skin, make sure to  incorporate Aloe Vera Gel in your AM / PM routine based on your convenience.

Aloe vera works best on pimple-prone skin because:

• The anti-inflammatory nature in the gel helps in keeping the skin calming and soothing. They calm the redness or irritation in the skin.

• As they are light-in-weight, they suit oily skin folks. You can opt for this instead of heavy oils and creams.

• A perfect product which should be indulged in between two major steps of skincare, which is between cleanser and moisturizer.

How to use it

• Post cleansing your skin, pat dry them

• Apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel on the face and neck. Focus on the T-zone area for better results.

• Wait for a couple of minutes until the gel gets absorbed in the skin.

• You can also use them on spots like painful acne or you can even use it on irritated skin.

• Follow up with the right moisturizer.

Why it’s great for oily, breakout-prone skin

This is great when skin gets irritated or inflamed soon. When using aloe vera gel minimises the damage, they also help in supporting skin when it’s damaged.

3. Hydrate/Moisturize

What it is & how it helps

Incorporating moisturizer is a must when you have any skin type. Pick a moisturizer which is light-weight and non-greasy. Make sure to keep oily skin moisturized too but with a lightweight or water-based product.

Some of the key benefits of moisturizing skin includes:

• Hydrates skin without making skin dry or flaky other than T-zone.

• Works best before using makeup. This works as a wonderful base and even makes makeup even and smooth.

How to use it

• Use them in both AM and PM routine, post cleansing and soothing the skin.

• When you feel your oil is too oily, it is okay to skip moisturizer and just use aloe vera gel every night. 

Why it’s essential

Since oily skin also needs a dose of hydration, they help in hydrating them without making the skin greasy or irritated. Using light-weight cream as moisturizer helps in hydrating the skin without making skin heavy or greasy.

Putting the Routine Together: A Daily Flow

1. Morning

• Start with a gentle foaming cleanser.

• Pat dry and apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use all three products every day?

Yes—the foaming face wash is gentle enough for twice-daily use. The aloe gel and light moisturiser are designed for daily use including oily skin. Do a patch test if you are trying for the first time.

Do I still need a separate “pimple remover cream”?

Possibly. This trio addresses oil control, soothing, hydration and barrier support—which are all foundational for acne control. If you have moderate to severe pimples, you might still need a targeted treatment (e.g., salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide) as prescribed by a dermatologist. 

Will the Vitamin C Foaming Face Wash make my skin photosensitive?

 Not specifically—the face wash rinses off, and the formula is designed with gentle natural citrus extracts and a stable vitamin C derivative. However, as with all brightening/active skincare, you should still apply sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

My skin is oily but also sensitive—can I use these?

 Yes, but with caution. Patch test each product behind the jawline or inner arm for 24 hrs. Pick formulations which is free of harsh chemicals and non-comedogenic

How long until I see improvement in breakouts/oil control?

 It depends on your skin’s baseline, routine consistency, lifestyle, diet and environment. With a good routine, many users see reduced shine and fewer minor breakouts in ~4-6 weeks. But for deeper lesions or persistent acne, longer use and possibly extra treatments will be needed.
