Cleanser for acne prone oily skin

[MJBooker]

Hi everyone, so my skin is very oily and I don’t think my cleanser now is working for me I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations on cleansers that help with oiliness and acne.

Instead of a harsh cleanser, @MJBooker I'd actually recommend getting a good, gentle cleanser and then using a salicylic acid serum to combat the acne. With a cleanser, you're just washing it off, but with a leave-on product you'll likely see more benefit. Are you already using a moisturizer and sunscreen?

I'm currently using Kiehl's Ultra Facial cream as a moisturizer and I usually don't put on sunscreen everyday. My current cleanser I'm using is Aesop Gentle Facial Cleansing Milk.

Sunscreen is super important to wear everyday of the year, no matter what the weather.  Sun exposure can give you hyperpigmentation and make acne marks worse.

A popular one is Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ 1.7 oz/ 50 mL.  This one not only protects you from UV rays, but also blue light from electronics.  If you have light color skin, Farmacy Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen works, too.

Hi @MJBooker!

I like the Cetaphil cleanser for normal to oily skin or Youth To The People Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser 16 oz / 473 mL.  

At night, I follow with Sunday Riley U.F.O. Salicylic Acid BHA Treatment Face Oil 1.18 oz/ 35 mL since the salicylic acid fights and prevents acne.
