Advice for Combination Skin with Blackheads

You like your current treatment oil but find it too oily for your combination skin with blackheads. The oil contains many oils and silicones, along with beneficial actives like Niacin.

• Adjust Usage: Try using a smaller amount of the oil or applying it only in the evening to reduce the heavy feel.
• Incorporate Targeted Treatments: To specifically address blackheads, consider adding a product with Salicylic Acid (BHA) to your routine. Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble and helps to exfoliate within the pores, clearing congestion.
• Beneficial Ingredients:
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Found in products like Safe-B3™ and Extreme-B3™, Niacinamide helps regulate oil production and improve pore appearance, which can support clearer skin.
  • Salicylic Acid (BHA): Available in various forms such as Salicylic Acid (BHA), SalicSoft® (Betaine Salicylate), Liquid Salicylic Acid, and ActiveRelease™ Salicylic Acid. This ingredient is effective for exfoliating pores and treating blackheads.

By adjusting how you use your current oil or by adding a targeted Salicylic Acid product, you can continue to enjoy the benefits of your oil while better managing oiliness and blackheads on your combination skin.
