Oily skin and acne are two of the most common skin conditions in Algeria - especially with the summer heat and humidity. But common skincare mistakes can exacerbate rather than solve the issue.

This guide gives you the right care steps with authentic products available at Pinkish - products that address the root of the issue without drying or sensitizing.

The first step: The right cleanser for oily skin

The most common mistake is using a cleanser that's too strong and dries out the skin - it produces more oil to compensate. Solution: A gentle cleanser that cleanses the pores without breaking down the natural barrier. Wash your face only twice a day.

Step Two: Treat Pimples and Spots

The active ingredients you're looking for: Salicylic acid cleanses pores from within, niacinamide reduces redness and evens out color, and azelaic acid treats acne scars. Use one at first and don't combine multiple treatments at once.

Step three: Moisturizing - even oily skin needs it

Oily skin deprived of moisture increases sebum production to compensate. The solution: A lightweight, oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer.

Step four: Sunscreen for oily skin

The sun turns acne scars into permanent dark spots. The right sunscreen for oily skin is: Lightweight, matte, and non-comedogenic. The ideal formula: Gel or fluid rather than creme.
