5 Best Facial Oils for Acne-Prone Skin

Five years ago, if you’d told us using oil in our skincare routines could help treat acne, we’d have thought you were out of your mind: It seemed obvious that oil (which, we were told, clogged pores and caused breakouts) was to be avoided like the plague.

Since navigating the world of beauty oils can be a tricky business if you don’t know what you’re looking for, we turned to Crude Personal Care founder Denise Cartwright and celebrity dermatologist Dr. Karyn Grossman for advice. Ahead, read up on the best oils for every acne-related skin concern — and prepare to say bye to your breakouts (for good).
