Effective Acne Skincare Routines and Products: A How-To Guide Featuring Dr. Jart+

Many acne-prone and oily skin types assume “more products = better,” but in reality the right sequence and actives matter more than quantity. Dermatologists recommend:
- A cleanser that removes excess sebum without stripping your barrier.
- A gentle exfoliant or toner to clear clogged pores.
- A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
- A targeted treatment for breakouts.
Dr. Jart+ has designed collections that directly address these needs: Teatreement™ (for oily, blemish-prone skin) and Pore Remedy™ (for clogged pores and texture). Here’s a simple four-step routine using these dermatologist-inspired lines.

What to Look For:
- Gel-foam or low-foam cleanser with tea tree or salicylic acid.
- Avoid heavy cream cleansers that may clog pores.

Why It Works:
Tea tree extract has antimicrobial and soothing properties. Dr. Jart+’s Teatreement™ Cleansing Foam uses tea tree and salicylic acid to purify oily skin while maintaining hydration.

Recommended Product: Dr. Jart+ Teatreement™ Cleansing Foam

A mild daily cleanser that removes dirt and debris without stripping essential moisture.
Tip: Use lukewarm water and gently massage for about 30 seconds before rinsing.

What to Look For:
- Toners or serums with gentle acids such as PHA or BHA.
- Choose non-irritating, hydrating formulas suitable for sensitive skin.

Why It Works:
The Pore Remedy™ line uses polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), which are clinically shown to smooth texture and decongest pores with less irritation than traditional acids.

Recommended Product: Dr. Jart+ Pore Remedy™ PHA Exfoliating Serum

A water-light serum with 7 percent PHA to resurface and minimize pores.
Tip: Start one to two nights per week, then increase to three if tolerated. Always follow with moisturizer.

What to Look For:
- Lightweight gel-cream texture that hydrates without heaviness.
- Niacinamide and glycerin to control oil and support the barrier.

Why It Works:
Skipping moisturizer can trigger rebound oil production. A balanced formula strengthens the barrier and prevents dehydration.

Recommended Product: Dr. Jart+ Teatreement™ Moisturizer

A non-comedogenic gel-cream clinically shown to reduce sebum levels by 18 percent in four weeks.
Tip: Apply a small amount after exfoliating or directly after cleansing on non-exfoliation nights.

What to Look For:
- Leave-on targeted formulas that calm blemish-prone areas without over-drying.
- Non-comedogenic broad-spectrum SPF 50 for daytime use.

Why It Works:
Targeted treatments reduce visible irritation while sunscreen prevents post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation.

Recommended Product: Dr. Jart+ Teatreement™ Toner for Oily Skin

Use on areas prone to oiliness and congestion to help rebalance skin and support clarity.
Tip: Apply directly to blemish-prone zones; let absorb before layering moisturizer or sunscreen.

- Introduce one new product at a time.
- Avoid over-exfoliating (no more than three times per week).
- Wash pillowcases and phone screens regularly.
- Use sunscreen daily — exfoliants increase light sensitivity.
- Commit to the routine for four to eight weeks to see results.

If you struggle with oily or blemish-prone skin, this streamlined routine offers structure and simplicity. Dr. Jart+’s Teatreement™ and Pore Remedy™ collections combine clinically tested actives like tea tree, niacinamide, and PHAs with dermatologist-approved formulations. Consistency and gentle care matter most — not over-treating. Over time, you’ll notice a clearer, more balanced complexion.
