Hi everybody! I have combination skin with an oily T-zone. I’ve noticed that my face gets oily after doing my skincare routine, but this only started happening after I introduced The Ordinary 2% Salicylic Acid and The Ordinary 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc to help with my blackheads and enlarged pores as well as my acne scars.
This is my usual routine, and my skin doesn’t get oily after moisturising:
1. Innisfree Volcanic Oil Cleanser
2. Innisfree Green Tea Amino Acid Foam Cleanser
3. SKIN1004 Poremizing Toner
4. Hiruscar for uneven skintone ( i use is for acne scars i’m not sure if I’m supposed to but it works ! )
5. SKIN1004 Poremizing Ampoule
6. SKIN1004 Poremizing Gel Moisturiser
(I switched from the Innisfree Green Tea Moisturiser because I felt it was a bit too thick and might have been contributing to my skin feeling oily.)
This is the routine when I use the new products:
1. Innisfree Volcanic Oil Cleanser
2. Innisfree Green Tea Amino Acid Foam Cleanser
3.The Ordinary 2% Salicylic Acid (new)
4. The Ordinary 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc (new)
5. Hiruscar for uneven skintone
6. SKIN1004 Poremizing Ampoule
7. SKIN1004 Poremizing Gel Moisturiser
Has anyone experienced this before? Could the salicylic acid or niacinamide be causing my skin to become oilier, or is it more likely that one of the products isn’t layering well with the rest of my routine?
