Best Skincare for Breakouts & Oily Skin in Canada

A strong starting trio is a salicylic Clarifying Cleanser, the Balancing Serum and an oil-free SPF. Add a retinol at night for stubborn or hormonal breakouts.

Hormonal and adult breakouts often responds best to a niacinamide-based serum like the Balancing Serum plus a retinol for cell turnover, kept gentle so the barrier stays intact. Red/blue LED such as Omnilux Clear can help too.

Salicylic acid is best for clogged pores, blackheads and oily skin, while benzoyl peroxide helps reduce the look of breakouts-causing bacteria and inflamed pimples. Many routines use salicylic acid daily and benzoyl peroxide as a spot treatment.
