Oily, Acne & Breakouts
Managing oily, acne-prone skin requires effective products that balance oil production and target breakouts without irritating the skin. Shape Clinic’s Oily, Acne & Breakout solutions help control shine, reduce acne, and promote clearer skin.
Start with a cleanser for acne or exfoliating cleanser to unclog pores and reduce breakouts. Follow with acne serums to target blemishes and regulate oil production.
For hydration, opt for an oil-free moisturiser to balance your skin without adding excess oil. Finish with a daily sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.
Oily, Acne & Breakouts FAQs
Does oily skin cause acne?
Oily skin does not directly cause acne, but excess oil can mix with dead skin cells and clog pores. This creates an environment where breakouts are more likely, especially if the skin barrier is disrupted.
How often should you exfoliate oily, acne-prone skin?
Oily, acne-prone skin usually benefits from exfoliation one to three times per week. This helps clear dead skin cells and reduce congestion without overwhelming the skin. Over-exfoliating can damage the barrier and trigger more breakouts.
How do you remove acne on oily skin?
Removing acne on oily skin requires gentle cleansing, balanced moisturising, and consistent care. Controlling excess oil without stripping the skin helps prevent clogged pores and supports clearer skin over time.
Is salicylic acid good for oily, acne-prone skin?
Salicylic acid is beneficial for oily acne-prone skin because it penetrates pores, dissolves excess oil, and reduces congestion. Regular use can help minimise breakouts and improve overall skin clarity.
Is Vitamin C good for oily, acne-prone skin?
Vitamin C can be beneficial for oily acne-prone skin when used in lightweight formulations. It helps brighten skin, support antioxidant protection, and improve tone without clogging pores if introduced gradually.
