# Skincare routine for oily skin

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/skin/oily-skin

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

Cleansers and toners with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/niacinamide) help control oil, while exfoliating steps with salicylic and [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/glycolic-acid) clear out pores. [Serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/serum) with niacinamide, [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/vitamin-c) and [ferulic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/ferulic-acid) help soothe blemishes and improve skin tone.

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 while the skin rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps that tackle stubborn shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes.
