Complete Skincare Routine for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin (Derma Approved)

If you have oily and acne-prone skin, you probably know how tricky it can be to find the right skincare routine. Use the wrong product, and your skin breaks out. Skip essential steps, and your face looks dull, oily, and congested.

The good news? With the right dermat-approved routine, you can control acne, reduce oiliness, and achieve healthy, glowing skin. In this blog, we’ll share the perfect step-by-step skincare routine using CLARIV’s Anti-Acne Serum, Vitamin C Serum, and SPF 50 Sunscreen—all designed for Indian skin.

Morning Skincare Routine 🌞

1. Gentle Cleanser

Start with a mild, sulfate-free cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt without stripping your skin.

2. CLARIV Vitamin C Serum (10%)

• Brightens dull skin

• Fades acne marks and pigmentation

• Protects against pollution and sun damage

Apply 2–3 drops on clean skin. Let it absorb before the next step.

3. Lightweight Moisturizer

Even oily skin needs hydration. Choose a non-comedogenic moisturizer that locks in hydration without greasiness.

4. CLARIV SPF 50 PA++++ Sunscreen

• Protects against UVA & UVB rays

• Prevents pigmentation and tanning

• Contains Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid for oil control + hydration

This is the most important step of your morning routine. Never skip it!

Night Skincare Routine 🌙

1. Double Cleanse (Optional)

If you wore sunscreen or makeup, start with a gentle oil-based cleanser, followed by a water-based face wash.

2. CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum (Niacinamide + Salicylic + Azelaic Acid)

• Controls excess oil

• Unclogs pores

• Reduces breakouts

• Fades old acne scars

Start with 2–3 drops at night. If you’re new to actives, use it 3–4 times a week, then gradually increase.

3. Moisturizer

Lock in hydration to keep your skin barrier healthy.

Weekly Extras

• Exfoliation: Use a gentle chemical exfoliant (like AHA/BHA) once a week for deep cleansing.

• Clay Mask: Helps absorb excess oil and tighten pores.

• Hydrating Mask: Restores balance if your skin feels dry or irritated.
