If you have oily skin and frequently get acne, you know how frustrating it can be.The more makeup or products you use, the more your skin seems to break out.Especially in climates like the UAE mae Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, Kalba where heat, humidity, and dust combine to block pores and imbalance skin.
Good news You can control, calm, and clear your oily, acne-prone skin with the right routine and the right products.
Why Oily Skin Gets Acne Easily
Oily skin has overactive sebaceous glands they produce more oil (sebum). When this oil mixes with dead skin and dust particles, pores become clogged, leading to acne. This process is accelerated.Result Greasy T-zone, shiny cheeks, and frequent breakouts.
Step-by-Step Skincare Routine for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
I'm sharing the same routine I would follow for my skin if I had oily and acne-prone skin simple, gentle, and effective.
Morning Routine: Control Oil, Protect, and Hydrate
Step 1:
- Gentle Cleansing (Remove Oil & Impurities)
- Skin builds up oil and sweat overnight, so the first step is gentle cleansing.
- But using a harsh face wash causes the skin to produce more oil (an ove rdry reaction).
Best option:
Acne Control Tea Tree Face Wash
✅ Tea tree extract kills acne-causing bacteria
✅ Controls oil without drying out the skin
✅ Soothing ingredients calm irritation
Use both morning and night take a coin-sized amount, massage in circular motions, and rinse with lukewarm water. After washing your face, don't rub with a towel; just dab gently.
Step 2: Lightweight Toner (Optional but Helpful)
For oily skin, toner is a bonus step it tightens pores and maintains oil balance. Choose an alcohol-free toner that contains niacinamide or witch hazel. Apply with a cotton pad or palms directly after washing your face.
Step 3: Treat with Serum (Target the Acne)
Now the most important step treatment serum.If you're looking for an effective serum for oily and acne-prone skin, I recommend:
Tea Tree Acne Control Serum
This serum contains tea tree extract, niacinamide, and soothing botanicals that:
- l Control excess oil
- l Reduce acne bacteria
- l Calm redness and irritation
Use daily, after cleansing and before moisturizer. Just take 2–3 drops and gently pat onto skin (do not rub).
Why Tea Tree?
Tea tree is a natural antibacterial ingredient it works on the root cause of acne and heals skin without causing dryness.
Step 4: Moisturize (Yes, Even Oily Skin Needs It)
People with oily skin think moisturizer is unnecessary but this is the biggest mistake. If skin isn't hydrated, it produces more oil. Choose a gel-based, oil-free moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid or aloe vera. This keeps skin soft without clogging pores.
Step 5: Sunscreen Don't Skip
Sun damage is dangerous even for oily skin UV rays can cause darkening of marks and pigmentation. Choose an SPF 50, oil-free sunscreen that is non-comedogenic.Apply every morning, even if you're indoors.
Night Routine: Deep Clean & Heal the Skin
Step 1: Double Cleansing (If You Wear Makeup or Sunscreen)
Makeup and sunscreen residue remains on your face at night. First, remove makeup with micellar water,then use your trusted cleanser . Acne Control Tea Tree Face Wash.This unclogs pores and neutralizes acne bacteria.
Step 2: Treatment Serum (Tea Tree for the Win)
Nighttime is best for skin repair.I personally reapply the serum at night. Tea Tree Acne Control Serum. This calms acne overnight and leaves skin feeling smooth the next morning. Skin cell turnover is faster at night, so serums work more effectively.
Step 3: Moisturizer (Lock in Hydration)
Apply a light gel moisturizer or calming cream at night to keep skin hydrated and seal in the serum. Avoid heavy creams they block pores and worsen acne.
This removes dead skin cells and helps with acne prevention.Clay Mask (Once a Week) green clay masks absorb excess oil and deep clean pores.
What to Avoid if You Have Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
1. Harsh Scrubs:
Physical scrubs with large particles injure the skin and increase inflammation.

3. Heavy Oils or Creams:
Coconut oil, shea butter, or thick creams are harmful for acne-prone skin.
4. Touching Your Face:
Bacteria is transferred and pimples worsen.
5. Sleeping with Makeup On:
This is the biggest skincare mistake. Always cleanse before bed.
