Face Oils + Tried And Tested Acne Fighting Ingredients

And while there are benefits to using facial oil on oily skin, Dr. King emphasizes the importance of incorporating other acne-fighting ingredients that have been tried-and-tested into your routine for maximum benefits, like salicylic acid. "It's an excellent pore-clearing ingredient because it exfoliates the surface of the skin and penetrates pores to remove oil," she says. "This is a great ingredient for people with oily and acne-prone skin, and particularly for treating and preventing blackheads and whiteheads."
