This sebum, mixed with dead cells, forms a plug in the hair follicle, which becomes a blackhead or pimple. Here's how to purify a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/care-by-skin-type\/oily-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oily, acne-prone skin<\/a>, and a selection of products decoded with BeautyDecoded scores.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"bd-callout\">This content is for information and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, and recommendations must be adapted to each individual. The application <strong>BeautyDecoded<\/strong> analyzes INCI formulations using artificial intelligence to identify the right cosmetics for each skin type.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <!-- ============ COMPRENDRE ============ -->\n  <section class=\"bd-section\">\n    <div class=\"bd-wrap-narrow\">\n      <div class=\"bd-section-label\">Decoding<\/div>\n      <h2>Understanding acne <em>and oily skin<\/em>.<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"bd-prose\">Oily skin with a tendency to acne often appears in adolescence, due to hormonal variations that stimulate the sebaceous glands. Skin texture thickens and becomes clogged, especially on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), giving rise to blackheads, blackheads, redness and dilated pores. When sebum accumulates and dead cells don't detach sufficiently, the follicle becomes clogged: a pimple forms, either open (blackhead) or closed (whitehead).<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Aggravating factors<\/h3>\n      <p class=\"bd-prose\">Beyond hormones and genetics, several factors can trigger or aggravate acne:<\/p>\n      <div class=\"bd-points\">\n        <div class=\"bd-point\"><p>A <strong>high glycemic index food<\/strong> and very rich; ;<\/p><\/div>\n        <div class=\"bd-point\"><p>Consumption <strong>excessive consumption of dairy products<\/strong> ;<\/p><\/div>\n        <div class=\"bd-point\"><p>Visit <strong>tobacco<\/strong> ;<\/p><\/div>\n        <div class=\"bd-point\"><p>From <strong>comedogenic cosmetics or make-up<\/strong>, applied in thick coats; ;<\/p><\/div>\n        <div class=\"bd-point\"><p>Regular exposure to <strong>pollution<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <p class=\"bd-prose\" style=\"margin-top: 22px;\">These links are observed associations, the importance of which varies from person to person. A balanced lifestyle and an appropriate morning and evening skincare routine can help limit their impact.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>How to fight acne without damaging the skin<\/h3>\n      <p class=\"bd-prose\">Acne is a skin condition in its own right, sometimes painful and a source of complexes, which can leave marques. The right approach is not to aggress the skin, but to rebalance it.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"bd-prose\">An essential point: cleaning too often or too hard is counterproductive. Repeated stripping dries out the skin, which reacts by producing more sebum: a vicious circle sets in and acne worsens. Similarly, popping pimples or extracting blackheads yourself creates lesions, marquess and scars that are difficult to erase.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"bd-tip bd-warn\">\n        <span class=\"bd-tip-label\">Medical advice<\/span>\n        <p>Acne <strong>moderate to severe, inflammatory or cystic<\/strong>, Cosmetic treatments complement medical care, but do not replace it.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <!-- ============ S\u00c9LECTION ============ -->\n  <section class=\"bd-section\">\n    <div class=\"bd-wrap\">\n      <div class=\"bd-section-label\">Our selection - BeautyDecoded data<\/div>\n      <h2>Anti-acne care <em>for oily skin<\/em>.<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"bd-prose\">A selection of products for oily, acne-prone skin, organized by routine stage, deciphered with BeautyDecoded algorithmic scores and user feedback.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"bd-callout\" style=\"border-left-color: var(--bd-blue-deep);\">Note on BeautyDecoded reviews: the ratings and review excerpts displayed on this page come from users of the BeautyDecoded application.

Over-cleaning dries out the skin, which then produces more sebum: it's counter-productive. Gentleness is better than intensity.<\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n          <summary>Which active ingredients combat acne and excess sebum?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Niacinamide and zinc regulate sebum; salicylic acid (BHA) unclogs pores; retinol acts on cell renewal and marques. Introduce gradually, without combining strong acids on the same evening.<\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n          <summary>Is it necessary to moisturize oily skin with acne?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Yes, depriving the skin of moisture worsens sebum production.

Cosmetic care complements medical treatment, but does not replace it.<\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n          <summary>What is the BeautyDecoded application?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">A mobile application for cosmetic analysis using artificial intelligence.

It does not replace a medical consultation. Moderate to severe, inflammatory or cystic acne requires dermatological advice. BeautyDecoded algorithmic scores do not prejudge the individual tolerance of each user: a test on a small area and, in case of doubt, the advice of a dermatologist are still recommended. Exfoliating acids (BHA) and retinol are gradually introduced and require daily sun protection; retinol is not recommended during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Don't pierce pimples or remove blackheads yourself, as this can cause long-lasting marques.
