Hey everyone, I need help sorting out my skincare routine.
Skin type: Oily (but feels tight right after washing, then gets oily again)
Main concerns: Acne all over, whiteheads especially on the nose, dark spots, dullness and a bit of tanning
After washing: Skin feels tight and dry for a while, then becomes oily
Breakouts: Frequent acne and whiteheads
Lips: Dry and pigmented
Current routine:
- Cleanser: Derma Co Sali‑Cinamide Anti‑Acne Face Wash (feels a bit drying/tight)
- Moisturiser: CeraVe Moisturising Cream
- Sunscreen: Derma Co 1% Hyaluronic Sunscreen Aqua Gel (I don't use it regularly since I don't go out much)
Products I have but don't use regularly:
- 2% Salicylic Acid (Derma Co)
- Niacinamide (Minimalist)
- Bye Bye Pigmentation (Derma Touch)
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

We can't tell if you're ruining your skin without seeing your routine.
Maybe cut down on sugar; that could help. For proper skincare advice, see a dermatologist instead of relying on online tips.
