Zits and pimples getting you down? Thankfully, there are plenty of products out there made specially for combatting unsightly acne.

Blemished skin can greatly impact on your self-esteem. If you’re prone to breakouts, you’re probably the type to spend ages picking out a cleanser that targets oily skin, or a foundation that won’t clog your pores. Non-comedogenic products are the way to go. And if your face tends to get very greasy by the end of the day, you’ll want to invest in buys that are free of oils.

If you’ve been purchasing products that aren’t suited to your oily/acne-prone skin type, perhaps it’s time to make a change. It is important to figure out what’s working and what’s not when it comes to your beauty routine. From cleansers to serums, primers to makeup removers, we present to you our top 10 beauty buys of the season, curated for those of you with oily or acne-prone skin.
