The ULTIMATE Oily Skin Routine | Doctorly Routines 

Instantly clicked when I saw oily skin

Teens are so lucky to have these videos from dermatologists to help them take care of their skin earlier in life. Like I’m still 27 but it would have been nice to have watched them when I was in high school. But then again it’s never too late to learn and change my skin care routine especially now that I can afford it lol.

SUMMARY Ingredients to look for! Regulate oil production: 1. Retinoids 2. Green Tea & Niacinamide Remove oil: 1. Salicylic acid 2. Clay mask SKIN CARE ROUTINE: 1. Cleansing - Use foam based cleanser. Salicylic acid based (0.5% -1% for non acne prone skin and 2%+ for acne prone skin) 2. Treat - Toner/ Mist (Green tea) or Retinol based serum at night. 3. Moisturize - Niacinamide, perlite, silica, Glycerine based. Kojic/ Salicylic acid 4. Sunscreen - Niacinamide/ Hyaluronic acid based gel sunscreen. (SPF 50 +++ better)

you guys helped me with extreme pimples on my face. The benefit of watching TikTok in the past was you guys. Thank you both for helping us.

I love how they explain everything thoroughly with important, detailed information which is easy to understand and super clear! Excited for the “retinol by skin type” video😂

Oily skin finally inclusive! Looking forward to seeing more routines targeted at oily skin from the basic routine to how the routine gets tweaked

Cleansing your skin regularly improves its appearance. Use a high-quality facial wash and wash your face twice every day. I recommend only riiceberry face wash by litlextrra because it actually maintains the right pH balance and is very mild. This face wash prevents pimples and provides my face a glowing as well as improved appearance throughout the day. Having juicy fruits assists maintain hydration and maintain your skin's well-being. Using Vitamin c serum additionally enhances complexion. Do this regularly and see the outcomes yourself.

My acne has improved a lot from my teen years but oily skin is definitely still a problem for me. Glad to see such quality content on youtube (:

As someone with oily skin is finally my tiiime! Never ever have I clicked on a link so quickly, thank you so much for posting and recommending some great stuff.

I love that a sunscreen was included that works for darker skin. Sometimes, the other natural sunscreens leaves you chalky and you have no idea until after your money has been wasted.

The La Roche Posay cleanser and moisturizer is luxury skincare!! Everything about that line is *chefs kiss* 😌

I loved my oily skin when I found out it would help me age more gracefully.

Loved this video and it was just what I needed! I am 59 yr old with really oily skin after a year on 1% Tret. The extra oils always kept my skin in break out mode. I have noticed a slight improvement since following your advice in this video. You both are great and I will continue to enjoy and learn from your channel!

So glad to see recommendations for moisturizers for oily skin. I have had so much trouble finding one that doesn't cause my skin to break out.

I am so happy you said the La Roche-Posay moisturizer. It's a favorite, and it has left my skin feeling amazing. I will start using more La Roche products like the foaming cleanser once my Cerave is done. As a 51-year-old who didn't really care about skin care growing up, I am now being diligent with my skincare and wearing sunscreen every day. ✨️

I'm 43 and I was never taught proper post-adolescent skincare. Your videos are so helpful.

Can’t wait for the dry skin video!! Need the “dew” here! Also Paula’s choice has a few very good sunscreens for oily skin from the resist line they have the super lite wrinkle defense, goes on smooth but dries down matte and from their clear line they have the ultra lite SPF

Yessss…a video on sensitive combination acne prone skin 🙌🏽 I’m in my mid 30’s and been looking for the right products. I love u guys videos, they’re so informative❤ I just know u guys would b a big help!!!

Great routine!! My skin recently transitioned from combo to straight oily and after a month of battling with it rather than switching up my routine, I finally caved. Best decision I could've made. Oily is not the same as dewy lol. And my skin looks incredible now that I have a targeted routine. I also start with the Cerave cleanser and alternate between my Tret and a BHA toner in the evening. In the morning I also use the Cetaphil moisturizer; I don't have acne but I absolutely love this product! And then for my sunscreen I've been using the Australian Gold mineral sunscreen, a product that dried me out a year ago, but now works incredibly well for me. It's truly is incredible how much better your skin can look when you actually listen to it. Thank you for another great video!

Where have these two been all of my life??!! So very helpful, thank you ❤

about to create my oily skin care routine, perfect timing! love your content

I agree with the request for combination skin. I used to have oily skin, but some parts of my skin have gotten drier as I've gotten older. I'd love to see anti-aging routines for combination skin. As an aside, I love this channel and the excellent tips and education you offer to viewers.

I loveee how good you guys explain everything!!! Please Do a Combination Skin version. 🙌🏻Is Soo hard to maintain my skin hydrated enough without having a lot of sebum production or clogged pores sometimes 😩

Waiting impatiently for combination/acne skin type. Loved this video though because I used to have just oily /acne skin growing up and of course that changed a little as I got older. Lots of good info as always!

Could you maybe make a video about transitioning from winter to spring? What to change in skincare routine and all about that stuff hahah That would be amazing! Thank you 🙏🏼

I'm sure you two won't see this, but I just wanted to say thank you! I got a set from your giveaway (The Ordinary), saying in the form that my concern was oily skin and you delivered! Not only was I surprised I actually got anything in the mail (I never win those sorts of things), but I followed your advice, and my skin is the healthiest it has ever been! Not only that, but your tips on shaving legs was amazing. You guys have seriously changed me for the better. Much love from the honeysuckle south. ♡

I’ve been struggling with oily skin all my life and I’ve been following you two for a year now and 90% of the products you’ve recommended for oily skin in your channel have worked for me 100% so thank youuu!

I have been on a journey on my skincare for 4 years and discovered some things that really help my skin look great: 1. Stay hydrated with plenty of water. 2. Apply fresh Aloe Vera gel on your skin before bed. 3. Wash your facial skin with lukewarm water and use litllextra riiceberry face wash wich contains black rice water and use it once or twice a day. 4. Drink karela and lauki juice to cleanse the body. 5. Lastly, stay happy! Your skin looks best when you are happy from inside.

Loved this! I have REALLY oily skin. The cleansers work for me. I used Paula’s choice liquid exfoliator for toner and kiehl’s ultra face oil free gel cream for moisturizer. Then supergoop! Mineral mattescreen as sunscreen.

I am turning 50 in 11 days. I have had oily skin my whole life (since Teen years). Luckily no serious acne issues but I am still so glad to see this content!!!!

Yesssss please never stop these videosssss

thank you for all the guidance you guys provide! I don’t think you should strive for shorter videos ❤

LRP spf 60 athelios DRY Touch in the tube is so perfect for oily skin and plays well with other products. I try a lot of sunscreens and this one is ✅ I use stick sunscreen to reapply on the go

The memory of honeysuckles was also my childhood and aside from the fantastic advice as always, thank you for the lovely little moment to walk back down memory lane. 😊

I always loved Seban pads. They worked amazingly for my oily face for the past 30 years. They kept my skin clear, young looking, irritation free, and mattified ALL DAY LONG. Now they no longer make them and my skin is a red, greasy mess. Ugh! I will have to try some of your recommendations as I can't seem to control the oiliness and irritation with anything else. I hope in time these recommendations will work for me.

OMG…I really like how you guys made available a simplified free downloadable routine that is AWESOMEE!! this is coming from a guy who would screenshot or write down each product you guys talk about on paper and then select from all the choices😂…now with the simple downloadable list I can directly use it as shopping list lol that is amazing I hope you guys start doing that in every video. Keep up the great work!

Hello , it had been three months since i watched this video and i have an oily skin, my skin is good but i wanted to elevate my skin routine so i tried the products you guys recommended and i just wanna say i’ll always appreciate how much my skin has improved because of you guys, i always thought it was a joke when people say that some strangers asked about their skin care routine but let me tell you it already happened four times to me, having a conversation with some strangers and asking about my skin care routine if i have one since i’m a man.. the only two things that i changed is that the acne prom moisturizer i only use in the morning before my sunscreen because my skin feels a bit dry after cleansing and i use the some by mi moisturizer at night and retinol every 4 days.. thank you guys so much and i hope this comment can help other people too !

Guys I've been struggling with my skin since I was 12. My skin became very oily due to poor hygiene in teenage years and it caused a LOT of spots/cysts that I couldn't help but pick which resulted in Obsessive Skin Picking Disorder....and it's destroyed my confidence. I'm hoping I can use this video to finally start getting my skin under control, and in turn DESTROY my skin picking condition.

I love that this videos all over the place

Now when I need to replace or add something to my skincare routine I just check here! I really enjoy the camaraderie between them and learn a lot.

The chemistry between both of them is what brings me back for every video 😅

The Paula's Choice Shine Stopper is amazing for oily or just shiny skin.

Something that's particularly important and helpful for me is that they name and explain the *ingredients.* I live in a different country and don't have access to A LOT of products the creators mention. But knowing the ingredients, i can find the best products where i live.

my favourite derm creatorssss love your content !!!!

Thank you for doing videos like this, for oily skin especially! Will you guys ever do a video on the different areas of dermatology like hair or nails? Like favorite shampoo, oil, pillowcase, hair serums (hair growth) etc. ❤

This is what I needed!!

I’m glad you finally talked about the oily skin 😊😊

The way you guys explain everything in very IMPACTFUL. Love watching your videos. 🙋‍♂

Must say! I have always loved the info you put out there. Have followed a lot of advice you guys have given

Exactly one year ago I started learning from these two and some other dermatologists on RU-vid on skincare routine. I always struggled with dryness and peeling, so I though I had dry skin. I started my routine pretty simple, a gentle cleanse and nigth cream at nights, no cleanse in the morning, just water washing my face followed by SPF cream. I stopped with the exfoliating gloves and other mechanical exfoliants. In just a couple of months my skin was never dry again! Turns out it was just dehydrated, and in reality I have a combination skin with no acne. Now my skin is so hydrated I've changed my routine to oily skin, but still learning about oily skin. I've introduced retinol at nights too. Thank you so much.

This is like the most amazing RU-vid video I’ve ever watched

Where was this video when I was younger ?! THANK YOU !!!!

I’m so glad someone asked this question because I am a butterball. wow, The biggest problem I have is as a woman of color sunscreens are horrible. .they’ll have a white tent and greasy . so I truly appreciate you cover every skin color. Thank you..

Love love la roshe-posay their product line is great!

When I saw this video I just clicked it immediately. Finally after so many years I've found the best skincare routines for oily skin like me suffering especially in the summer. My face is like already adding with an egg so it's like cooking it. LOL! But this is a savior. Thank you Doctors 🙏🏻

At 48, I'm still oily, but I have become more dehydrated if I'm not careful, so balancing oily skin focused products with hydrating products is my focus now. I used the Cerave SA Cleanser morning and night until I noticed how dehydrated it left me. Then I went with the Cerave SA at night and the Laroche Posey Clarifying Cleanser in the morning - I really do think it's the less harsh of the 2. Now, I use the Laroche Posey Clarifying at night and the Laroche Posey Hydrating Gentle Cleanser in the morning. I add more hydrating products at night because they tend to leave me too dewy if I use them in the morning, but I will use a hydrating toner in the a.m. My biggest pet peeve is that almost all products marketed to "mature skin" are focused on dry skin. Hello! Not everyone over 40 has dry skin! I might throw up if one more ad is targeted to me because of its dewy finish, perfect for maturing skin! If I use that, I'll look like I slathered my skin with coconut oil within an hour!

Isntree sunscreen is lightweight, BUT and a big BUT, it has a super shiny dewy finish. Definitely would not recommend it to oily skin people that doesn't want to look like a grease disco ball. Keeping it all the way 100 here.

Thanks for the product recs, docs. I added them to my wishlist.

You guys are the GOATs for making this vid. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

*Who has ACNE Problem!!*

Hard to complain about oily skin now that I'm post-menopausal (I'm 58). Oily skin might have been the bain of my younger years, but I really don't look my age! It will catch up with me eventually I'm sure, but until then, I'm going to enjoy looking 10 years younger!

9:29 Love the honeysuckle reference. One of the most nostalgic scents from my childhood!

I love how they recommend more budget brands like cerave rather than only recommending stuff that's pricey!

I have combination/dehydrated skin (salicylic acid is definitely my friend) - always love hearing your perspectives!

Hi Doctor Maxfield, the sweetness you tasted from honeysuckle is nectar which is the sugar source for honey, but not actual honey which has to be made by bees. 🐝

I've been waiting for a video like this😭

Thanks so much for doing this video. I literally watched this taking notes and making a shopping list. I took your advice and suggestions and ooouh my face is thanking me in CAPS. My pores were big enough to be seen but now I’m feeling myself!! THANK YOU!!!

Some sunscreens I highly recommend as a person with veeeery oily skin living in a hot humid place are the eucerin oil control tinted spf 50, the mineral tinted suscreen face lotion 30spf and the australian gold tinted face sunscreen spf 50. They are all really good with a matte finish.

I began to hate moisturizers cuz of my oily skin definitely gonna try an oily skin one out now!

Glad to see a few of my staples in here. Makes me feel like I'm kinda doing it right.

Ever since I started using La rosche purifying cleanser this year it has been a dream and my go to! So glad to see it made the list! Y’all must try it!

I find for my oily skin that the Cerave Day Cream retinol sunscreen is PERFECT. I haven't heard of another sunscreen has similar texture. It gives a skinlike not extremely matte but definitely not dewy or shiny finish. I use the Cerave SA cleanser and Sa Face and Body lotion lotion on my face. Cerave Acne skin resurfacing retinol. (Though I'm gonna try the Differin Adapalene gel soon) And the Japanese Aqua Cure exfoliation when I feel my skin get tight from dead skin hanging on around the bottom crease of my nose. Side note: I tried the Cetaphil oily skin purple and silver packaging cleanser and moisturizer. And it made my ice pick acne scars WORSE. It was very strange, I wasn't getting pimples but honestly it was worse sense now the only way to get rid of them is with laser treatment of the sort.

Love it! I would love to see a routine considering combination to dry skin (yes I have the same skin as Dr. Sha) Thank you for everything! I really appreciate your effort and work!

Always love your videos, trying to have a routine with products that will benefit and target my problems instead of buying random ones they may not be helpful

Great video! Simple, easy, straightforward information. Thank you!

you guys saved my skin few days ago i face acne breakout and that was horrible. Because of your video my skin is glowing day by day that's to you guys💙💙. May God bless you guys. Lots of love from Canada

Loved the outtakes at the end 😂Also, I’ve learned so much about skincare in the last 2 years from your channel. It’s been so great to know what to look for and why. I love learning the about how and why things work and what they do for your skin. Keep up the great content 🙌🏻

I use the cetaphil oil control sunscreen! It’s amazinggg 10/10 you need to try it

Both me and my husband have oily skin. I have tried all three cleansers you mentioned and my favorite is the Roche Posey one! last forever deep cleans without stripping. It is great

When I say I have oily skin...nobody has anything on me. My skin is sooooo oily that I can turn any paper towel see through with just a small tap on my face. The other day I had scratched my eyebrow and then touched a colored paper and I left a fingerprint on the paper!!!! I keep it as simple as possible. Cleanse. Moisturize. Sunscreen. Just bought a BHA exfoliant to maybe help. Starting with once a week. My skin is also super sensitive. Anything will make it burn! So foam cleanser is not even an option. I also started the Australian gold sunscreen because I had heard it helps with oil a bit...nope...about 3 hours later I was shiny! Now at times my skin does become so dry it hurts. So maybe mine is hormonal. Idk I might change to some of these products. Once I run out of my current products.

Thanks y’all! Always learn something new from you

Great video, guys!! 😊❤

Been oily my whole life and it’s taken a while to find what works and what doesn’t work. I have yet to find a product that leaves me matte for an entire day, but I’ve at least found some that allow me to make it to lunch before having to blot. Also, I moved from a dry climate to a mild climate and then to a very humid climate and have found that products that worked before now make me oilier (presumably because of the humidity). I’ve also found that my face HATES hyaluronic acid when it’s high up in the ingredient list. For example, I wanted to love that LRP mattifying moisturizer, but it left me oily within an hour of applying it. Same with the Cetaphil moisturizer/sunscreen.

I'm in my thirties, and I have the most oily skin of anyone I've ever known (plus acne!) I'm sure it's genetics cause I've been trying so hard for over a decade to get control of this oil. So thank you for this video! I haven't tried most of those products, so the quest continues.

I think this is my favorite dr maxfield video. The level of chaos is *chefs kiss*

Thank you for this and for the free download.

Great video Docs! If or when you address the topic of oily skin again, please thrown some tips on GREASY/OILY skin. I am using everything you mentioned in this video for about 2 + years and I've seen amazing results, but I am greasy, my oily skin will leak oil, literally...... at work I have oil spots on my paperwork, my reading glasses and everywhere else but I don't have a wrinkle in sight at age 55 with an almost 100lb weight loss I am greasy. still!

I'm not oily. But I'm here for y'all. 🤣 I need a dry skin care routine lol

Grateful for this!!!

I was really excited for this video, especially with warmer weather coming for my oily skin, but there are a couple in the recommendations that have some pretty bad ingredients. Most look pretty good and I’m excited to try, but just as a warning for those who need to be more careful. Like unless Cera Ve changed their formula of that cleanser, that may be one to look out for. I love these videos! I just hope that the quality of the ingredients stay more important than any paid brands since so many people will trust this channel.

I love the Australian Gold spf50 sunscreen fir my oily skin. It mattifies too

I have oily skin and I always find these videos interesting because the products that are specifically made for oily skin never worked for me. My face would be an oil slick! (I'm guessing from over producing oil from the products that lifted the oil that was already there) I started changing my routine to a more hydrating routine and that's when I saw the real difference. My routine- Vanicream face wash Vit c. Niacinamide serum (which was a HUGE game changer) Double repair spf Added at night- Retinol and kiehls hydrating moisturizer. My face is SO much more balanced and hydrated and there's no oil sheen, but glowy hydrated skin.

I’ve been waiting for this video

This was a big help, thank you!

Will you be doing routine on oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin?

This same kind of thing for a routine for oily scalps would be amazing! I deal with seb derm and the scalp just keeps getting oilier (even with my prescription ketoconazole). If my scalp just keeps getting oilier, I’m just going to get a bigger flare and it’s already bad enough.

Great video guys, thank you!

I really love this channel & these 2 guys ❤

Got a challenge for you guys. Routine for 50ish menopause and post menopause. Never had issues with my skin until now. Sweat like crazy but skin can't hold to moisture. I have no wrinkles, none. Buttt starting to get melasma.where dud did it come from? Huge somewhat, looking pores..I get it sweat clogging pores. Sucks. I use tretinoin, niacinamide, azalaic acid and cerave night cream. Middle of the face its all gone. Night sweats. Up for the challenge guys??

I have combo skin with seborrheic dermatitis and would LOVE a skincare routine video for one of those! I have a patch on my cheek I'm fighting to keep hydrated because it flakes basically every day, but if I use too heavy of a moisturizer, I turn into an oil slick 😢 i basically can't wear foundation until i get this sorted out, but it's never "fully healed"
