Oily skin can be a breakout magnet because of all that extra sebum. When your skin produces too much oil, it can clog pores and create a perfect breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria. Breakouts happen when oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria team up to block your pores—and that excess oil only adds fuel to the fire by worsening inflammation. This routine helps break the cycle by controlling oil production, unclogging pores, and calming irritation—treating active breakouts and keeping future ones at bay, all without over-drying.
