Basic Oily & Acne-Prone Skincare Routine and Essentials!

[@MissAdamLambert888]

This was literally the best skincare routine EVER.

[@DrAanchalMD]

Good video! People with oily skin must remember that they should wash their face only twice a day. frequent face wash can lead to drying of skin which will send the signal to create more oil. This can be counter productive. Also, a gel based moisturiser is a must to maintain skin barrier.

[@adrianaarias4493]

@@billysangma5891 I have oily skin and it's really hot and humid where I live in the summer, so washing my face in the morning with only water has helped my skin form being stripped because of face washes, if your sweating you can use a gentle cleanser or just wash you face with water and put sunscreen afterwards :) hope that helps

I love your hard work, Thank you so much. I have been watching lots of Russian bloggers lately, Russia is huge on Korean cosmetics, and they do explain it well, but since I live in the USA, you are my only trusted american blogger and Hot and Flashy Angie is another one. Thank you again. My question is do you apply night time hydrating masks on top of your moisturizes or solo? Or what is the correct order, cleanse, tone, hydrate, then mask, then moisturizer or what is the order? Thank you so much! And also, if you can ever, please do a video on eye treatments, (not botox, not plasma) but on creams, serums , i have wrinkles under my lower eyelashes.

This is the most informative and helpful skincare routine for acne prone skin I've ever watched. I was able to learn so much from this one video than from all the other skincare videos I've watched in the past. You've seriously became one of my top favorite youtubers.

[@gothamista]

Thank you so much, your comment has made me incredibly happy!

[@ginadenicolo9951]

I am amazed at how affordable most of these products are! I'm always watching skincare videos because I want to learn more so I can improve my skin, but most of the products recommended tend to be very expensive and would break my budget. So happy I found this video and excited to try some of these things out!

Why did I discover you just now?!? You're one of those youtubers that are well spoken and very detailed and I love that! Plus you're voice is very pleasant to the ears. I've been looking in some of the products you mentioned here for quite some time now but haven't really bought them yet. But because of your review, I'll definitely buy them now.

[@gothamista]

Thank you so much Tara!

[@acinat05]

+Gothamista you're welcome! 😊 Btw have you tried COSRX's one step pimple clear pads? Any thoughts on it?

[@gothamista]

I hesitate with recommending the pimple clear pads because it has a fair amount of alcohol in it which is not great for anyone who is breaking out or has acne. Those conditions can come with sensitive skin or dried out skin. A lot of people seem to love this product, so I think if someone is not sensitive and is using this product for preventative measures, it would be better.

[@acinat05]

+Gothamista thank you so much for replying! Greatly appreciated! :) Last question, have you tried Klairs Supple Preparation toner? Or any opinions about it? I've been seeing a lot of positive reviews on it online.

Renee, your videos are so good, I just want to cry. I greatly appreciate how you break everything down, talk about the actual science of how our skin works, which appeals to the science nerd in me, and explain the purpose of every single skincare product. Your attention to detail appeals to my meticulous nature, but your clear, methodical, organized way of presenting all of this information prevents me from wanting to pull my hair out. While you are an excellent salesperson, you don't pressure people, or insist on a one size fits all approach, and say that every person must have an expensive ten step skincare routine. Your focus is on the quality of ingredients and effectiveness of the products. I sincerely thank you for your hard work, and sharing your extensive experience and knowledge. You are demystifying and simplifying this entire concept, and we appreciate you.

[@gothamista]

Yes, I found most of my understanding of how and why always had to come form my own research and experimentation not from my doctors unfortunately.

[@Ziiqing]

I have really oily skin. Furthermore, the country I am living in is so warm and humid all year round which makes my skin worse. My skin stopped breaking out as much because I use foaming net to lather up thick creamy foam to double cleanse my face every night. Following on, I would apply a light hydrating lotion(toner) by patting lightly into my skin, and a hydrating serum thereafter. The hydrating serum I am currently using is the Innisfree's green tea seed serum (it is a little not hydrating enough for me imo because I have used products from Hanyul before and my skin basically is not oily for the next day because of balancing out my oil and water in my skin), and a sheet mask after the serum (yes, i do it daily). Lastly, I would apply an emulsion to seal everything up. I do not use any face creams because of the tropical weather I am living in, and also of course I do exfoliate and use clay masks weekly.

[@katharinekrunch29]

do you mind listing out the products you use for your routine? im moving from dry city in the US to humid HK soon and need to change up my routine. I also use innisfree's green tea serum, but it doesn't work well for me and i keep breaking out.

[@Ziiqing]

katharinekrunch29 I am currently using Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing foam (by shiseido and this is sold in asia, HK would be selling it and it is a good drugstore product for oily skin, might not be suitable for dry skin). I wash my face only at night and use lukewarm water to wash my face on the daytime. As for toner, I am using Innisfree's Jeju sparkling mineral skin, I use this because it feels really refreshing and cooling on warm weathers. However for HK, I believe they are turning into cooler seasons towards the end of the year. Perhaps you would consider in looking up for people with drier skin in countries such as HK and taiwan of what they usually would use in their colder seasons. I use Innisfree's soybean energy essence(light) and Belif hungarian water essence day and night. for night skincare, i would layer another layer of essence which is also by Innisfree jeju sparkling mineral line. As for daytime, I would just apply Clinique's moisturizing gel and at night, I would apply Clinique's moisture surge extended thirst relief. I would use sheet masks once every 2 days too, basically I would use sheet masks from many Japanese and Taiwanese drugstore brands, which is readily available in HK too. Some examples would be Dr Morita, Kose and My Beauty Diary. These sheet masks would be used right after cleansing and toning my skin, subsequently I would apply the rest of my skincare as per usual (since I have oily skin I usually use sheet masks only at night). Weekly exfoliation I use Cure's natural aqua gel and Innisfree's Super volcanic clay mask for deep cleansing. Skincare is pretty subjective, so this is just my personal routine that suits me and keep my skin to be less oily as well as hydrated. Also, the products I mentioned are readily available in Asian countries so I believe that HK would be selling them too.

[@KpopSpazzReviews]

Constance Lzq Hi! I used to have the same problem like you and I used to think that I have to do all these long steps(exfoliation, clay mask, pore strips and etc) but after going for facial, the lady mentioned that my face is combination skin and I live in Malaysia which is extremely humid. I recommend replacing with using gentle cleanser like Cosrx and try out cosrx product which are awesome! And not use that many sheet masks because sometimes sheet mask can suck moisture out of your skin and I think which cause your oily skin problem because it doesn't have enough moisture on the inside causing it to be oily. I recommend a mask pack rather than a sheet mask after you use clay mask to retain more moisture✌ and I recommend the jeju lava line rather than the green tea seed line from Innisfree. I recently bought it and I think its way better! Naruko is also a great alternative if cosrx products are hard to get. You can try the cosrx pimple pads also! its a gentler exfoliator and suitable for oily and sensitive skin!

[@Ziiqing]

[@thaispromakeup6159]

I'll have to admit, I'm a little bit overwhelmed!LOL I've recently found your channel and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever found on KZbin. Like in my entire life! Seriously, I feel like I should watch your videos with a notepad beside me, just to take random notes in order not to forget things later!LOL You see, I've been trying to watch as many of your videos as I possibly can. Btw, I loved this whole idea behind fermented skincare! And oh, thank you so much for answering my Luna 2/Cleansing Stick question yesterday! :) Seriously, I hate to bug you but I feel like I really need to pick your brain on this matter because I really-REALLY need some help! I'll turn 30 in January, I have combo skin (but INCREDIBLY oily on the sides of my nose, chin and forehead - like fry an egg on my face kind of oily!), but at the same time I have the most sensitive skin ever. I'm allergic to Vitamin C and a bunch of other ingredients, many creams give me contact dermatitis. Plus, to help things out, I'm a makeup artist so I wear lots of makeup everyday, something my very hormonal and acne prone skin hates. Nowadays I've just been using bioderma to remove my makeup (because they say we can skip the toner), the Luna 2 to to cleanse (with any random cleanser) and Avene's Tolerance Extreme to moisturize. But in a world with oil, gel, cream and stick cleansers, tonics, serums, vitamins, oils, moisturizers and whatnots, I don't know which products I should or should not purchase. I don't mind spending the money as long as I know it's the right thing for me, you know? Please, consider it an early Xmas gift (and a good deed to a total stranger) and help me! Pretty please?!lol xoxo

[@gothamista]

Hey girl! I'll try my best to help, but sounds like your skin is dehydrated which is why you're overproducing oil and dryish in other areas. Pls watch my moisturizers video, that may really help. The one thing I would suggest to no longer do (Pleaaaase!) is use bioderma to remove your makeup. It won't. Also, don't use it to replace toners because the formula has cleansers in it - not enough to cause issues but it's not as good for your skin as a toner is at balancing things out after PROPER cleansing by adding hydration, nutrients back into skin. DOUBLE-CLEANSE with oil based cleanser then the cosrx one in this video. That step alone will make a big difference to your skin. Moisturize with gel/creams that hydrate and don't burden your skin with emollients. I recommend a few in my videos but can't decide for you as I don't know your skin. Given the information, you can probably choose something that suits you.

[@thaispromakeup6159]

Gothamista thank you so much for taking the time to help me!! I'll try to moisturize more. I also tried oils like Josie Maran's Pure Argan but honestly I didn't see much difference...plus, my acne was worst and I didn't know if the oil helped it out. I never really used a toner before, I'll try to add that to my routine after cleansing. Is there a really good serum for sensitive/oily skin (or do you think that's a skippable step)? And in your opinion is it ok to use like two cleansers, like an oil based one to remove makeup and let's say a cleansing stick afterwards to double cleanse? And have you heard of PAI Skincare and Alpha-H cleansers? Do you recommend a brand in particular? Like I said before, gotta start somewhere but there are SO many options out there!

[@elusivemoon33]

ThaisProMakeup it's been a year since your comment but our skin sounds similar. My current routine is thanks to Renee and my skin has never been better. I use the face shop oil cleanser then the cosrx cleanser. I then apply the cosrx aha bha toner followed by the neogen white truffle oil serum followed by the cosrx birch moisturizer. In the evening I use Dran tea tree essence and cosrx snail mucin. Hope this helps.

[@ikonora]

After I watched this video I went to buy an oil based cleanser. I have sensitive oily acne prone skin and bought the Shea Moisture sensitive oil cleansing (the pink packaging). I thought it would be good because there are not harsh ingredients and no bad things in it. I was wrong. After 3 or 4 days double cleansing with this oil (followed by my cleanser), I got lots of clogged little zits. Seriously, over 50 all over my face. I was desperate when I saw it. I can only blame the oil based cleansing :/

Hi Renata, sometimes 'purging' happens when you start oil cleansing if you have very congested pores. Because your oil cleanser is drawing out the old oil to the surface of your skin so the comedones, black heads, white heads will appear. It can take many weeks (up to 90 days) for acne to form so all that stuff in your skin that can eventually turn into acne is getting pulled out faster. If the Shea oil cleanser you are using emulsifies with water then it will not clog your pores or stay on your skin.

[@ikonora]

Gothamista Hi! Thank you so much for responding. The oil does emulsifie with water, it becomes a little bit like a milky oil (if that makes any sense). Do you think I should continue trying the oil cleansing method? Maybe alternate days? What do you think? I really appreciate your input when it comes to skincare! Love from Brazil!

[@gothamista]

No problem! Yes, it should emulsify and get milky when you add water, that means it's going to rinse clean off your face, taking everything bad along with it! I just want to make sure that you're not getting an allergic skin reaction to anything. If there is no redness or burning and just comedones, then most likely it's skin purging which is a 'good' thing. Whether or not you continue is up to what you're comfortable with since you know your skin better than I do. cleansing oils really are great for your skin type but purging can take a while when there is a lot of old congestion stuck in your pores and it's a difficult stage to go through. I had it for a year!

[@ikonora]

No wonder why you are one my favorite KZbinrs! They are not red not itching, just bumps. Maybe my skin is purging, I will give it a go and see what happens! Do you have any good oil cleansers recommendations to give me? Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!

[@gothamista]

Aw you are so sweet! I just want you to not worry about what's going on! Sounds like the oil cleanser you have already is a good one. Otherwise, my next video will show my new favourite cleansing oil balm! Keep me posted with how it goes!

[@fransinia.4675]

if I would have found this channel 3 yrs ago, when I was breaking out when I first moved to the U.S. without money to splurge on dermatologists. Furthermore, some of the dermatologists I've had, have impacted my skin. I shall like this to have it as future reference, although I find that the easier the routine (less product) the easier it is to keep up with it.

[@chhuy2]

very thorough and informative, Thank you

[@34ImpossibleShapes]

I didn't even know there was a such thing as powder sunscreen. You just changed my life.

[@KatTheo]

I have just serial watched all your videos haha they are great ! New subbie ! How old are you if isnt rude asking.

[@samiksharai4057]

She talks so good I could listen to her whole day 😭🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

[@AnnaTomo]

Love this! But I'm a bit confused. I thought I'm not supposed to use vitamin c serum in the morning since it could be sensitive under the sun? Even with sunscreen? Enlighten me please! 😊

[@megancotterly9357]

I have acne prone skin but it is dehydrated/dry. I went from having the teenager acne to super fun hormonal acne in my 30's. The super painful cystic kind. I would love to see a video dedicated to healing the scars for those of us that picked in our younger years lol

[@saadiaahmed3956]

Where can I buy all this products in kenya

[@RrrRrrRo736]

could you please do drugstore brands/affordable?

[@mariajara9455]

Comedonal Acne!! i cant tell you how long ive been trying to find the name of what these bumps are called. Ive done extensive searches on google and this never came up. So thank you, now i know how to work on getting rid of these annoying little bumps! Your videos are incredible, thank you for being so thorough and well informed. :)

[@LifewithME93]

I have dehydrated skin. which is acne prone as well. and my t zone gets oily but mainly my nose. I'm starting to get lines under my eyes as well I'm 22. do you think these product will work for me? my skin looks so dull is a mess please help

[@anja1627]

Adanelis German oh my! same here!

[@hui-lingchang287]

Woah we have the same problems, except I have big pores too. I find certain brightening creams help with the dull complexion, but I am not using it now cause I ran out. The Ponds brightening night cream was good. Nivea brightening cream ain't that good cause it is just a layer or white moisturising cream. Once u wash off, ur skin is dull. My acne is getting out of hand so I am trying to focus on that first. U have any tips or products to recommend ?

[@ahhhlindsanityyy]

stop using ponds and any products with mineral oil in them is my suggestion! its horrible for your skin... vit c serum will help brighten :-) also facial massages while cleansing has really helped my skin

[@adrianavl7694]

same here!! but I started using korean products around one month now... the low ph good morning gel cleanser, the AHA/BHA toner from cosrx and the snail mucin essense from the same brand and I just love them!! i didn't understand when all youtubers were talking about how these products bright up your skin and I know it now!! just try them! hope this help 😊

[@BeautyXDesign]

Loved this video! As a pro MUA and personal acne sufferer (hormonal in my early 30s) I am often asked about acne treatments and products. The amount of medical facts are so helpful to educate myself and help educate my clients. Thanks so much for your research!

[@gothamista]

Thank you so much Danielle! I'm so happy you found this helpful! It's always nice to have less to cover up.

[@dianatkachenko4652]

I was struggling with comedones on my forehead and I found that the only thing that helped me was removing them

[@qylsshnys2609]

[@cat_pb]

Removing them is always the best~ just be careful, because they tend to fill in again~ so keep up a good skincare routine :)

[@fliktony91]

I appreciate you. Nothing else I can say that could explain how much gratefulness I have for you right now

[@jordanlouis6623]

Hey Renee I have a question. I watched a video before saying how vitamin c should not be mixed with products that contain aha/bha because they are both exfoliating factors. Thoughts on that? I have mild acne prone skin, mostly is hormonal but they are hard to get rid of and they always scars so I’ve been looking into vitamin C serums

[@vanithasrianbumuthu1151]

Waiting for the answer too!

[@alvinpinpin5996]

I have been suffering from clogged pores and white/blackheads ever since puberty hit me. All the affected areas were from the breakouts I used to have years ago. I've heard plenty of good feedbacks from KZbinrs about how the AHA/BHA toner from Cosrx works great on cleaning your pores but for me there really was not even a little reduction of my blackheads on my face.

[@yingshuang1276]

Isn't ViT C serum in the morning will cause our skin photosensitive to the sunlight?

[@gothamista]

Not l-ascorbic acid which makes skin less photosensitive. citrus oils/extracts will.

[@tampay1]

Your skin is so pristine and plump! You have the skin of my dreams! Not only are you informative about skin, you are also knowledgeable about the recommended products and the ingredients within. You have a follower for life now!I currently only use sheet masks, but hope to incorporate more Korean products as I use up my current skincare stash. The recommended products are on my list of things to purchase in the future. It takes the guesswork out of developing a skincare routine. You have it right here for us oily/acne sufferers. Thank you!

[@gothamista]

you are so sweet

[@carolinecostanzo8465]

Hello ! I've oily skin and since I've seen your videos I'm really interested into skincare products, 'cause damn you're literally glowing guuurl. But I've one question, in one of your latest vids you said we shouldn't use AHA and vitamine C together, however here you talk about an AHA/BHA toner (the one by cosrx) and after you put on a vitamine C serum... So I don't know.. Can we still do this ? Maybe AHA here doesn't stand for the same thing, if you or someone else here has the answer it'll be helpfull ('cause I don't want to mess things up you know ahah). And thank you for you vids you're doing an amazing job ! It's just sometimes it gets a little confusing :3

[@yukieeh]

Caroline Costanzo somebody please answer this question.

[@Melanie-pz1qc]

Im confused too. Theres another video too that dont mix this 2 together!!

[@glendasumbillo8736]

Same thoughts

[@09lz90]

Don’t use Aha and VC together. They are for different purposes, and you can alternate. For example, use AHA at night, VC in the morning.

[@09lz90]

Also, you don’t have to go through all the products and procedures mentioned everyday. Besides the basic steps you shouldn’t skip, you can use some products on MWFS and others on TTS. I go simple when my skin is clean and good.

[@jenniferw.5726]

Thank you for this information! After watching this video a few days ago, I immediately bought the Donkey Milk Healing mask. I tried it last night, and my skin looks brighter, less irritated, pores are smaller, and the inflammation on my breakout has significantly reduced. Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful reviews and suggestions!!

[@Yayakoshii1990]

I have combination skin, extremely oily but dry and cystic acne which is terribly painful. I've been using Proactive for years but it dries my out easily and I am still breaking out...I am at a loss lol.

[@maryam101kikiki]

I never thought I'd find a fellow Starlight here, but hello! :D

[@Yayakoshii1990]

maryam101kikiki Hello Starlight!!!! *hug* ^_^

[@maryam101kikiki]

CopperHead oh btw I wouldn't suggest u use Proactiv, I had really bad breakouts from using them. I use korean skincare products now and istg it's life changing!

[@meilei8]

Don't wait it out. Not any skincare can fix hormones. It's androgens that are causing excesses sebum. go to a doctor or a dermatologist. I visited my doctor got prescribed with birth control pills and now my cystic acne basically disappeared after 3 months.

[@siejsidjksjdjd]

A derm will help you with your acne situation better than anyone on the internet can, but it's worth mentioning your moisture barrier is probably compromised from such a harsh product! I was using a prescription acne cream for about a year and it totally messed up my skin's moisture levels without me even realizing.

[@nicolearanding2554]

AMAZING content aside, can we all just talk about how her perfect her skin is?

[@addcasdde976]

You didn't mention any eye creams ,which ones do you recommend? (for 17-20 year olds) GREAT VIDEOS btw! 🙂🙂

[@jcpremieredistributor6560]

Try atomy eye cream

[@addcasdde976]

JC Premiere Distributor okay thanks 🙂

[@thenativebrookie]

Your so professional, if you told me you were a doctor I would 100% believe you.

[@marianalostaunau1854]

hi Renee, do you have a video for combination skin?

This video made me subscribe! :)

[@gothamista]

Thank you!

[@grachelmonis-juma1700]

I have oily dehydrated skin (synonymous with the vast Indian population 😄) so after going through all your videos (literally) I ordered Catrin,colourscience, troipeel, su:m cleanser stick , cosrx cleanser, gummy hand cream . Can't wait for them to arrive and try them ! Shoutout to you from Bahrain :D

[@gothamista]

Hi! Ooh, great choices, I hope you love them and please keep me posted. I am a little concerned about the troipeel cushion, if that's what you got and not the masks, because it's veeeeery light toned, too light for me.

[@daeaneflores7227]

Hii! I would like to ask if it is okay if I use Wonder Pore Foam Cleanser and Freshner from Etude House with some of the products that you recommend for oily/acne prone skin? I'm very happy that I found this video ❤️ Hoping that you'd reply soon. Thank you! Great help.

[@yschews]

I bought the products from Cosrx almost immediately after watching your video and am surprised it is actually helping to clear up my skin within 3 days! Thanks for introducing us to these affordable yet effective brands :)

[@gothamista]

Honestly, your comment makes me so happy! I love hearing when people find products that help their skin!! Yay!
