# VT-focused skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/brands/vt/skincare-routine/for/oily-acne-prone-skin

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Canada.

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

Cleansers and toners with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin), [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/niacinamide), and [willow bark extract](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/willow-bark) help control oil and shrink pores. Exfoliating steps, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), and masks with [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/salicylic-acid), [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycolic-acid), and [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/vitamin-c) clear out breakouts and fade blemishes.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day by cleaning off the night, hydrating, and protecting 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. This weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps to target shine and breakouts.

### Step 7 Moisturizer

Moisturizers with birch sap, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, snail secretion filtrate, betaine, panthenol, green tea extract, niacinamide, squalane, adenosine, and allantoin help hydrate your oily skin and keep pores clear without extra shine. Moisturizers with low molecular hyaluronic acid, ceramides, signal peptides, pygmy waterlily, and centella asiatica extract help repair skin, manage blemishes, and minimize pores, and they are used every morning, every evening, and once a week in place of the evening routine.
