Looking for skin care products for acne and oilyness.

I have acne which is mostly right now, dozens of whiteheads along my chin, and some cystic breakouts usually along my cheeks. I also have very oily skin. Looking for products, preferably from the same line, that come in a value starters set for me to try out!

You can actually search for previous topics about these concerns and get some great advice - are you looking for skincare sets? I personally like the alba botanica line for acne and also the body shop tea tree oil line - otherwise I also love the Mario badescu acne line as well - for cystic acne I definitely suggest a tea tree oil spot treatment or the buffering lotion from Mario badescu paired with their drying mask - they work great in different ways to bring those bumps to a head quicker and work well for my cystic acne - but remember that most cystic acne is hormonal so to stop it at the source you may want to see a dermo or esty to get proper treatment

Hey jenna! So cystic acne is caused by internal reasons, eating habits or hormones. So you do want to see a dermo so they can prescribe you something or I know of some lines that have safe over the counter pills that can help with it as well such as murad! To try to take care of it topically you want to make sure you're using a lot of calming skin care products where you have the inflammation or redness , things like aloe or chamomile etc. over using acne products that may dry your skin out will cause you to produce more oil. Maybe start with a skin care set for sensitive skin and add an acne treatment product. Let me know if this helps!
