Clear, Balanced Skin — A Complete Routine for Oily and Acne-Prone Types

Shine, congestion, and recurring breakouts can make skin care feel like a guessing game. The solution is a consistent routine that controls excess oil, clears pores, and strengthens the barrier without stripping. At Pt78 Skin and Body, we pair dermatologist-trusted SkinCeuticals with our own Australian-made, vegan formulations to help you achieve calm, clear, balanced skin.

Why oily skin still needs gentle care

Over-cleansing or using harsh astringents can spike oil production and irritate the skin. The most effective approach combines:

• Smart cleansing to lift impurity build-up without drying.

• Exfoliation to keep pores clear.

• Targeted actives to minimise breakouts and post-blemish marks.

• Lightweight hydration to support a healthy barrier.

SkinCeuticals’ oil-control powerhouses

• Cleanse

  Start with a purifying gel: SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Gel Cleanser or Blemish and Age Cleansing Gel to remove excess oil, sunscreen, and pollutants.

• Tone and refine

  Sweep on Equalising Toner to gently rebalance and prep skin for actives.

• Daily antioxidant for oily skin

  Protect and brighten with Silymarin CF Vitamin C Serum — designed specifically for congestion-prone complexions.

• Breakout treatment

  At night, smooth on Blemish and Age Defense Serum to decongest pores and improve visible texture.

• Weekly deep clean

  Use Clarifying Clay Masque once or twice weekly to draw out impurities and refine the look of pores.
