Routine Overview

This routine is built for oily skin that gets breakouts, clogged pores, and that lovely “my face is shiny by noon” situation. The strategy is simple: cleanse without stripping (stripping triggers more oil), calm inflammation (angry skin breaks out more), gently decongest with a well-known AHA/BHA/PHA acne serum, keep the barrier stable with a lightweight soothing moisturizer, and use a non-comedogenic-friendly sunscreen so breakouts do not turn into dark marks.

What results to expect (realistic):

• 7-14 days: less inflamed-looking breakouts, reduced surface congestion, slightly less mid-day oil.
• 3-6 weeks: fewer new breakouts, smoother texture, shorter “pimple life-cycle.”
• 8-12 weeks: more stable skin with fewer flare-ups (consistency beats intensity every time).

The 5 Products (Luxiface catalogue)

1) Cleanser: [Anua] Heartleaf Succinic Moisture Cleansing Foam 150ml

Why it fits oily acne: Oily, acne-prone skin needs a cleanser that clears sebum and buildup without wrecking the barrier. When your barrier is calmer, oil production is easier to manage and breakouts heal faster.

• Targets pore congestion and excess oil without the tight, squeaky-clean feeling.
• Helps reduce “buildup” that feeds recurring breakouts.
• Sets up the serum step to work evenly instead of patchy.

2) Toner: [Anua] Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner 250ml

Why it fits: Oily skin still needs calming hydration. This toner helps keep irritation down so you can actually tolerate acne treatment consistently (which is how you get results).

• Soothes visible redness and supports calmer-looking skin.
• Light hydration helps prevent dehydration-triggered oil rebound.
• Helps maintain a healthier pH balance so skin stays less reactive.

3) Treatment Serum: [SomeByMi] AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Miracle Serum Light 50ml

Why this is your acne engine: This serum is designed for breakout-prone, oily skin with a gentle multi-acid approach (AHA/BHA/PHA) plus calming support. It helps unclog, smooth texture, and reduce the look of active breakouts over time.

• Helps reduce clogged pores and rough texture that lead to repeat breakouts.
• Supports clearer-looking skin by gently lifting dead skin buildup.
• Balances “treat + calm” so oily skin does not feel over-processed.

Smart pacing: Start 3-4 nights/week for 2 weeks. If your skin stays comfortable, increase to nightly. If you get dryness or stinging, reduce frequency.

4) Moisturizer: [Dr.G] Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream 70ml

Why oily skin still needs moisturizer: The fastest way to make oily acne worse is to over-dry your skin. This gel-cream supports hydration and calming without feeling heavy, helping reduce irritation and improve consistency.

• Light gel-cream texture that suits oily skin.
• Soothing support helps breakouts look less angry and recover faster.
• Helps your barrier stay stable while you use acne treatment.

5) Sunscreen (AM only): [CellFusionC] Advanced Clear Sunscreen 100 SPF50+/PA++++ 50ml

Why this matters for acne: Sunscreen is what prevents acne from turning into long-lasting post-acne marks. This one is positioned for troubled and oily skin with a refreshing matte finish and non-comedogenic-friendly intent, making daily use more realistic.

• High UV protection helps prevent post-acne marks from darkening.
• More comfortable wear for oily skin means better daily consistency.
• Supports oil-control feel while still keeping skin hydrated.

AM Routine

How to Use- (Steps 1 to 5)

1. Cleanser: Cleanse 30-45 seconds with lukewarm water. Focus on T-zone. Rinse well.
2. Toner: Apply 1 light layer with palms. Press in gently, no rubbing.
3. Treatment Serum: If you are new to acids, use this in the morning only 2-3 times/week at first. Otherwise, apply a thin layer (avoid over-applying).
4. Moisturizer: Apply a thin layer, lighter on T-zone, normal on cheeks.
5. Sunscreen: Apply generously to face and neck. Reapply if outdoors or in strong daylight near windows.

PM Routine

How to Use- (Steps 1 to 5)

1. Cleanser: Cleanse thoroughly (still gently). If you wore heavy sunscreen, cleanse slightly longer.
2. Toner: Apply 1 layer to calm and hydrate.
3. Treatment Serum: Use 3-4 nights/week for 2 weeks, then increase as tolerated. Do not stack multiple acid products on the same night.
4. Moisturizer: Seal with a light layer to prevent dehydration (dehydration can trigger more oil).
5. Breakout rule: If you start peeling or stinging, reduce serum frequency first (not cleanser, not moisturizer). Consistency wins.
