8 Best Products For Acne-Prone Oily Skin

It’s never easy dealing with oily, acne-prone skin. Between the greasy sheen that oily skin always seems to sport and the angry pimples that erupt out of nowhere, this skin type comes with a number of challenges.

The good news is that calming and clearing your complexion suddenly becomes much easier when you have the right skincare products to turn to. So, keep reading to discover the very best Lionesse products for keeping your appearance matte and acne-free.

1) The White Pearl Facial Cleanser

One of the most important things that you can do for your acne-prone skin is to keep it clean. Not only do you need to ensure that acne-causing bacteria aren’t able to fester and grow, but you also need to prevent impurities from sinking from the surface of your skin into your pores. If they enter your pores, they’ll form blockages and potentially trigger breakouts.

However, people with acne-prone skin often tend to go overboard with cleansing. They opt for an overly powerful cleanser that may sound good in theory, but only ends up dehydrating the skin in the long run. This is bad news for your complexion because once skin cells start to feel dehydrated, they ramp up oil production. This will leave your skin even greasier.

The solution is to find a cleanser that does its job well, but not in a way that completely strips your skin dry. That’s why we created the Lionesse White Pearl Facial Cleanser. It’s a sulfate-free formula, meaning that it won’t leave your skin feeling dehydrated. Instead, it does the opposite, hydrating the skin while it cleanses. Use it twice a day and you’ll be well on your way to sporting a clearer complexion!

2) The White Pearl Facial Peeling

Another essential skincare product for acne-prone skin is an exfoliator. Research confirms that exfoliation is an extremely effective way of both reducing and preventing the look of breakouts. 

It all comes down to how exfoliation clears the pores of blockages. Without those blockages, there’s nothing for acne-causing bacteria to cling to. This then prevents the pores from feeling inflamed. Clear pores mean a clear complexion, making regularly exfoliating absolutely vital.

However, just like when choosing a cleanser, you need to be careful about the exfoliant that you pick. Anything overly harsh will dehydrate your skin and make your acne worse. The Lionesse White Pearl Facial Peeling, on the other hand, is gentle yet still very effective. It’s a great way to exfoliate oily skin and it also happens to be extremely easy to use.

3) The Lionesse Body Scrub

Skincare products for oily skin often focus on the face, neglecting the fact that body acne is very common too. If you suffer from facial acne, then there’s a good chance that, at some point, you’ll notice pimples developing on your body too.

Body acne is caused by the same factors that trigger facial acne. This means that the same methods need to be taken if you want to eradicate the look of those blemishes. However, since the skin on the body is significantly thicker than the skin on the face, the products that you’re using to target your facial breakouts won’t work as well on body acne.

This means putting together a separate body care routine, and exfoliation needs to be a big part of this. The Lionesse Body Scrub is the perfect way to get this done. It has a sea salt base, with sea salt being loaded with skin-loving minerals. Not only will it leave your skin looking brighter, clearer, and smoother, but it will also help to lower the feeling of inflammation in your skin, which will counter the appearance of body acne.

4) The White Pearl Skin Toner

There are a few reasons to add the Lionesse White Pearl Skin Toner to your skincare routine, particularly if you have acne-prone skin. 

Firstly, we’ve already talked about how detrimental dehydration can be in terms of leaving the skin feeling even greasier. Well, at the other end of the scale, keeping your skin hydrated will help to balance things out, making your skin feel less oily in the long run. This toner, which is packed with a blend of hydrating ingredients, will do exactly that.

Toners are also crucial when it comes to keeping the pH level of your skin’s surface layer in check.  Cleansing and exfoliating, along with a variety of environmental factors, can often disrupt this. An imbalanced pH has been shown to increase the appearance of breakouts, while also affecting how long those pimples take to visibly fade away.

Finally, our toner also contains witch hazel extract. This is an ingredient worth familiarizing yourself with if you have acne-prone skin. Studies have found that this astringent ingredient is fantastic at soothing the look of inflamed skin and minimizing the appearance of breakouts. 

5) The White Pearl Vitamin C Serum

There are a number of ingredients that can work wonders on an oily, acne-prone complexion, and vitamin C is one of them. It does so in several ways, from reducing the feeling of inflammation to clearing the look of breakouts. Research shows that vitamin C is highly capable of rebalancing how oily the skin feels too. 

Of course, let’s not forget how vitamin C is a superstar at lightening the visibility of discoloration and hyperpigmentation. This makes it a must-have for fading the look of acne marks.

As you can see, vitamin C is an ingredient that can be of huge benefit to acne-prone skin. The best way to treat your skin to its vast array of properties is with a vitamin C serum. Thanks to how lightweight a serum is, it will be able to carry its ingredients further than a thicker product would. This lightweight, non-greasy nature is also less likely to clog up your pores.

Ideally, look for a serum that contains a stabilized form of vitamin C, just like the Lionesse White Pearl Vitamin C Serum. This formula is also infused with orange peel oil, which is a fantastic natural source of vitamin C. This enables the serum to double up on results. Daily use of this serum should bring you visible improvements much faster than a regular vitamin C serum would!

6) The Golden Sapphire Cream

Many people wrongly assume that oily, acne-prone skin doesn’t need to be moisturized. It’s easy to understand why – use the wrong moisturizer and your pores will immediately feel heavy and clogged, with new breakouts not too far away.

However, we’ve already talked about how crucial it is to keep your skin hydrated if you want to reduce the appearance of acne in the long run, and a moisturizer is a great way to do this. The key to avoiding breakouts is to pick a moisturizer that isn’t going to leave your pores feeling blocked, which is where the Lionesse Golden Sapphire Cream comes in.

This moisturizer is brimming with antioxidants that will immediately have your skin feeling fresher and clearer. It’s super hydrating too and the best part is that it has been infused with licorice root extract. Just like vitamin C, licorice root extract does an amazing job of lightening the look of discoloration. It’s a must-try if your face is dotted with acne marks from previous breakouts. Just a light layer of this cream is all you need to ensure that your skin feels quenched and healthy.

7) The Black Onyx Mask

Let’s talk face masks – something that’s often underrated when it comes to battling the visibility of breakouts. Having a good face mask in your skincare arsenal can feel like a lifesaver when you’re struggling with pimples. The right formula will help to quickly clear up and rejuvenate your complexion, putting you back on track when it comes to achieving healthier-looking skin.

One type of face mask that just about everybody with acne-prone skin would benefit from is a clay mask. Research shows that clay can really help to eliminate the appearance of pimples while also brightening the overall complexion.

There are plenty of clay masks out there to choose from but, if you want to elevate your skincare experience and see results even sooner, go with the Lionesse Black Onyx Mask. This mask stands out from its competition due to its warming effect. As you massage it onto your skin, it gently heats up. This leaves the pores feeling relaxed and more receptive to being cleared out by the clay. Once that happens, the other ingredients in the mask, which include vitamin C, vitamin A, coffee seed extract, and black onyx powder, are able to work their magic without any pore blockages getting in the way.

8) The Diamond Rejuvenation Facial and Eye Mask

Hydrogel masks are also worth considering if you’ve been struggling with acne-prone skin. They’re among the most hydrating of face masks, making them a game-changer if your oily skin is down to dehydration.

That’s exactly what the Lionesse Diamond Rejuvenation Facial and Eye Mask is. These hydrogel sheets have been soaked in a rich serum brimming with the hydrating properties of algae extract, hyaluronic acid, and collagen. The addition of lavender oil and chitosan makes this mask feel even more soothing. It will quickly calm the look of redness while giving your entire face a softer and smoother finish.

Unlike the thermal clay mask that we featured above, which can be used weekly, this mask has been designed for monthly use. There are separate sheets for your face and your eye area, ensuring that every inch of your skin is able to soak up the intense hydration that this mask provides. Simply lay it over freshly cleansed skin, sit back and relax for 15 minutes, and then remove the mask and rinse your face. After this, you can continue on with the rest of your skincare routine.
