The Ultimate Skincare Routine for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin
Are you tired of battling excessive shine and stubborn breakouts? Managing oily and acne-prone skin can be challenging, but the right routine can make all the difference. At Life.Kiwi, we've curated the best products specifically designed to balance oil production, clear breakouts, and enhance your skin's overall health. Ready to achieve clear, glowing skin? Let’s get started!
Step 1: Cleanse Thoroughly (Morning and Night)
Why? Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine. For oily and acne-prone skin, it's crucial to remove dirt, excess oil, and impurities without stripping your skin's natural moisture barrier.
How to Use:
-
Apply a small amount to damp skin.
-
Gently massage in circular motions, focusing on areas prone to excess oil (like your T-zone).
-
Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Life.Kiwi Recommendations:
-
Caudalie Vinoclean Cleansing Almond Milk – Contains sweet almond oil and cornflower water to gently remove makeup and impurities while soothing and hydrating the skin.
-
CeraVe Foaming Cleanser – Contains ceramides and niacinamide to cleanse without disrupting the skin's protective barrier.

Step 2: Tone to Balance (Morning and Night)
Why? Toning helps balance your skin's pH, minimizes the appearance of pores, and prepares your skin for better absorption of other products.
How to Use:
-
Soak a cotton pad with the toner.
-
Swipe it gently across your face, focusing on oily areas.
-
Let it absorb before moving to the next step.
Life.Kiwi Recommendations:
-
Uriage Hyséac Purifying Toner– Contains Piroctone Olamine and Uriage Thermal Water to purify, tighten pores, and mattify oily and acne-prone skin without drying it out.
-
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Toner Lotion Micro-Exfoliant – Contains salicylic acid and LHA to gently exfoliate, unclog pores, and reduce excess oil while refining skin texture.
Step 3: Target and Treat (Morning and Night)
Why? Acne and oily skin benefit from targeted treatments that reduce blemishes, unclog pores, and control shine. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide, and zinc.
How to Use:
-
Apply a thin layer to problem areas.
-
Allow it to fully absorb before applying moisturizer.
Life.Kiwi Recommendations:
-
SVR Sebiaclear Active– Targets severe imperfections and reduces acne marks.
-
Dermagius Secatriz Acne Spot – Combines salicylic acid and natural extracts to fight acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation.
Step 4: Hydrate without Clogging Pores (Morning and Night)
Why? Even oily skin needs hydration! Using the right moisturizer keeps your skin balanced and prevents it from overproducing oil.
How to Use:
-
Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
-
Focus on massaging gently until fully absorbed.
Life.Kiwi Recommendations:
-
Bioderma Sébium Hydra Ultra-Moisturising Compensating Care – Contains ceramides and enoxolone to intensely hydrate, soothe, and restore balance to oily, acne-prone skin weakened by treatments.

Step 5: Sun Protection (Morning)
Why? Sunscreen is a must, even for oily skin. It prevents sun damage, dark spots, and premature aging while protecting acne-prone skin from harmful UV rays.
How to Use:
-
Apply generously as the final step of your morning routine.
-
Reapply every two hours if exposed to the sun.
Life.Kiwi Recommendations:
-
Heliocare 360 Gel Oil-Free SPF 50 – High sun protection with a matte finish.
-

Weekly Boost: Exfoliation and Masks
Why? Exfoliating and masking once or twice a week keeps pores clear and skin smooth. Choose products that absorb excess oil and detoxify your skin.
