Excessive oil and frequent pimples despite using non-comedogenic products may indicate hormonal imbalance, gut issues, or overuse of products that disturb skin barrier. Use a gentle foaming cleanser with salicylic acid (like Minimalist Salicylic 2%) twice daily, and apply Niacinamide 10% serum in the morning to reduce oil production and pores. Please consult a dermatologist to check for internal causes and to receive a minimal, effective routine tailored to your skin.

Managing oily skin and frequent pimples can sometimes be challenging, even with proper skincare products. It’s good you’re using non-comedogenic products, as they’re designed not to block pores, but sometimes the root cause needs additional attention. Firstly, consider evaluating your cleansing routine. Use a gentle cleanser twice a day to remove excess oil without over-drying your skin, as harsh cleansing can strip natural oils and lead to more oil production. Look for products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which are effective in controlling oil and reducing acne. It’s also important to keep your skin moisturized, even though it seems oily. Opt for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to maintain skin balance. Additionally, overusing products can sometimes worsen acne, so try simplifying your routine and introducing one new product at a time to observe how your skin reacts. Diet and lifestyle can also contribute to oily skin and acne. Consuming a balanced diet with reduced dairy and high-sugar foods may help. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of water throughout the day. If your skin remains persistently oily or acne-prone despite these measures, it might be worthwhile to consult a dermatologist. They can assess your skin type more closely and might suggest prescription treatments such as topical retinoids, which effectively control oil production and acne. Hormonal factors can also play a role, and a professional could help identify if further steps, like specific medications, are indicated. Remember, while a consistent skincare routine is crucial, patience is equally important; visible improvements can take several weeks. Avoid picking or squeezing pimples, as it can lead to scars and further skin issues.
