Neutrogena-focused skincare routine for oily skin

Routine by Lovi 路 Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes 路 How the Fit score works

A routine for oily skin built around Neutrogena products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners and sunscreens with niacinamide help control oil and shine, while exfoliating steps and masks with salicylic, glycolic and lactic acid clear out pores, blackheads and blemishes. Serums and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol and allantoin maintain hydration and soothe the skin.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper exfoliation and masks for shine and blemishes.
