Some By Mi-focused skincare routine for oily acne-prone 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 acne-prone skin built around Some By Mi products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers and toners with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and willow bark extract help clear out pores and reduce breakouts. Moisturizers and serums with niacinamide help control shine and manage blemishes.

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 and adds the deeper steps to target shine, breakouts, blemishes, and enlarged pores.
