A skincare routine for oily skin in Pakistan needs to handle heat, humidity and pollution — strip too hard and skin rebounds with more oil. Here is the full routine that controls shine without wrecking the barrier.
The morning routine
- Cleanse: the Anti-Acne Cleanser — salicylic-acid based, cuts oil and keeps pores clear.
- Tone: the Acne & Oil Control Toner — reduces shine; see best toner for oily skin.
- Serum: niacinamide regulates oil — the Skin Lightening Serum (around Rs.1,499).
- Moisturize lightly: skipping moisturizer triggers rebound oil.
- SPF: the Sunscreen SPF 50++ (around Rs.1,389) — see best sunscreen for oily skin.
The night routine
Same cleanser and toner, then alternate actives: the Anti-Freckles Serum for marks on one night, a gentle exfoliant (7% Glycolic Toner, two to three nights weekly) on others — never both together. Finish with light moisturizer.
Weekly extras
The Glycolic Face Scrub two to three times a week keeps texture clear — see the glycolic scrub guide. For foundation on oily skin, see best foundation for oily skin.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good skincare routine for oily skin?
Salicylic cleanser, oil-control toner, niacinamide serum, light moisturizer, SPF — actives at night.
Can oily skin skip moisturizer?
No — it triggers rebound oil; use a light one.
How do I reduce shine during the day?
Consistent oil-control routine, blotting paper, and matte sunscreen — over-cleansing makes it worse.
