This is one of my most requested videos, so I’m happy to share a Skincare Routine for those with oilier and/or acne prone skin with a few tips and product suggestions. This is actually applicable to ALL skin types, of course adjusted to your own needs. This is a basic preventative skincare routine which addresses sebum control and the prevention of bacteria growth as well as keeping our skin strong and hydrated. Here are some products that I am loving, many of these are Korean products that I've been trying out for a while now and find them to be more gentle for problematic skin, hydrating and I love the ingredients! These also work really well for those in humid Summer climates too! Whatever our skin type, we need this in our lives. Whether you are dry/dehydrated/oily/sensitive, this works for you!

this is probably the BEST video I’ve seen for us oily potatoes, thank you so much 💘
By that logic, we are french fries which are the BEST
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.
Oily potatoes 😂
Yeah you’re right.. I’m pretty much a potato myself. 😂
*oily potatoes omg!!!! Ghorl😂😂😂*
Ha oily potatoes
You are so well spoken! Literally bought 5 of the products you mentioned. Can’t wait to try them! xo
+elanna pecherle Thank you so much! Big fan of yours right here ❤️ Can’t wait for you to try these out, would love to know how they work for you 😊
elanna pecherle how did it turn out? 3 years later-
elanna pecherle how was the result?
Please share your results with us
..
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 you’re welcome! 😊 Btw have you tried COSRX’s one step pimple clear pads? Any thoughts on it?
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.
+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.
Yes, I love it!
same!!!
Your skin is always flawless, it’s amazing and something to work toward for all of us!
This skin care routine is so specific and helpful, thank you so much for making it.💚💚💚💚 love your channel 💕
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.
Thank you so much, your comment has made me incredibly happy!
Her natural skin is highlight goals. <3
Damn, what a compliment! Thank you!
Man, this is one of the best skincare videos for oily/acne prone people. Love it!
Thank you so much!
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!
Yes! I am also so blown away by how effective and good these products are considering their price!

I wish I could give you more than a “thumbs up”. I can imagine the research, time, and diligence that it must take to put together such a informative, well executed segment. Truly appreciated!
I agree! You can sell everything and I would probably buy them all!
Now I’m curious, when do you use the Glacial Mask? Which part of the routine is it supposed to be done?
I agree. That’s what I call dedication! 😊
@Gothamista hi please can u tell me if cosrx snail mucin essence will suit sensitive oily acne prone skin ? U included cosrx product in every category except for essence. Why
Gothamista please advice an essence and serum for morning skincare.. thank you!
Soumya Vishwanathan I have oily, acne prone, sensitive skin and snail mucin isn’t my cup of tea. It makes me break out more and I’m turning 39 this year 🙃
Renee, as an aesthetician and spa owner, my client recommended your page to me. I absolutely love your videos and ability to communicate all the knowledge to your viewers. Good job and I am definitely a fan!! Will tell all my clients :)
Hi Anita! Thank you so much for your comment and approval which means the world to me! 😁
Gothamista you’re one of the few experts on here who actually knows what they’re talking about! you give good science based explanations, it makes you very trustworthy! thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)
Hi does this apply to make large pores shrink? Pls thank you
Rene, could you please do a nighttime routine for oily acne prone skin? I’m still learning what to wear in regards to Acids at night and protection during the day. I noticed you didn’t use oil in this video, yet I know oils are good for skin like this.
I feel like I had a conversation with my own personal dermatologist! So amazing… Can’t wait to start my skincare journey. Thanks for your amazing uploads!
I just cried out of joy. I’ve tried to look for a oily skin skincare routine from a person that actually knows what she’s talking about and here you’ve been all this time. Thanks for putting all of your time and effort into this highly needed video, I already have my cart filled with all of these stuff, let’s see how it goes. Thank you, thank you so much for everything. All the love x.
Ps. You just gained a new subscriber lol.
Update? Cuz i ordered some of tge stuff in the video but im scared to use them
You’re literally the best YouTuber for skincare! I used to always love watching makeup tutorials, but as I’ve gotten into my mid twenties I got more into skincare and I learn so much from you! Thank you thank you thank you! You’re amazing! 💕❤️
This was SO informative. Thank you Renee! I also loved that you brought up the importance of hydration right at the beginning. This actually isn’t talked about enough and it’s automatically assumed that oily skinned people can’t use ‘hydrating products’ but it’s exactly what they need to balance the skin!
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.
I feel like I am now ready to go to war against my acne. This is amazing.
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.
@Billy Sangma 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

Wow, I am 23 but I am suffering from acne since 5 years, but this is working for me, thank you 💜
