Skincare Routine for

ACNE and OILY SKIN

When the skin barrier is in good order, concerns like acne, oiliness, redness, sun damage, and signs of aging are minimized. Our hard-working formulas are based on careful research on the best ways to repair and maintain a healthy skin barrier. Our products are designed to work better together. That’s why it’s best to use Corum as a system, not just as a single product.

Get and keep clear skin!

This skincare routine is specifically designed to help control excess oil and breakouts with natural, gentle products. Even if you don’t use all of the products listed below, the order in which you apply your skincare products is important for ensuring they are effective and that you are getting the most out of your routine. Here is a general guide to layering your skincare products for optimal results.

Is it really acne?

Acne vulgaris and “fungal acne” (Malassezia Folliculitis)  may look similar but are caused by different things. That means these skin conditions need to be treated differently.

This skincare routine is for those struggling with oily skin or regular acne. If your skin does not respond positively, you may be dealing with “fungal acne”, which requires a different skincare routine.

HOW TO LAYER SKINCARE PRODUCTS

ORDER MATTERS

Cleanse with Oil

Non-comedogenic Corum Oil Cleanser dissolves and removes microbiome-compromising gunk that builds up during the day. Cleanse without stripping away the natural moisture needed for healthy skin. This is the first step in the evening. Use on the face only or all over for a great cleanse with less water.

Exfoliate and Detox

Once or twice a week use Corum Barrier Repair Manuka Mud to gently smooth skin, purify, and balance oil levels without drying. This nutrient-rich clay and xylitol mask with Manuka honey, Dead Sea Salt, prebiotics, and plant enzymes leaves the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Use after cleansing with Corum Oil Cleanser.

Cleanse, Hydrate, & Exfoliate

Corum Superfruit Hydrating Cleanser is our natural, biodegradable, no-rinse, aloe-based cleanser. Use it to remove invisible microbiome disruptors, gently exfoliate, fight acne, shrink pores, lock in hydration, and prepare the skin to receive the benefits of additional nutrients. This is the first step in the morning. Use after oil cleansing in the evening. Twice a week, use after exfoliating with Corum Manuka Mud to fully remove the mask and lock in hydration.

Treat (as needed)

Address several skin concerns with Corum Super Serum, our quick and easy skin smoothie gel serum packed with the building blocks of healthy skin.  Fight wrinkles, acne, redness, hyperpigmentation, and scars. Use after cleansing with Corum Hydrating Cleanser for optimal absorption. If you have oily skin, this may be the only moisturizer you need in the morning.

Moisturize Face & Body

Moist skin is healthy skin. Fight breakouts, protect, repair, nourish, prevent ingrown hairs, reduce chafing, and seal in moisture and active ingredients with one of our moisturizing, non-comedogenic products. Choose a Corum oil blend, emulsion (oil and aloe blend), or stick (oil and wax blend). Use at least once a day after cleansing and treating in the evening. My favorite is the Face Oil Serum Set!

Zap Zits (as needed)

Quickly calm inflammation and improve the look of pimples (or prevent them from forming) without drying with our all-natural, effective but gentle spot treatment stick. Use Corum Zit Zap after Corum Super Serum in the morning and after your moisturizer in the evening. Keep a stick handy and apply it as soon as you notice any inflammation throughout the day.

Sunscreen

Regularly use mineral powder sunscreen when outside during the day. Sunscreen should be applied before makeup.

Makeup (if desired)

Those with oily or acne-prone skin should use a mineral powder foundation.

Stop Shine (if desired)

Stop shine, reduce the look of pores, fight breakouts, and blur imperfections, with Corum Prime & Finish Mattifying Setting Powder. Create a flawless, natural-looking finish without talc or silica. If using alone, apply after sunscreen. If applying foundation, finish with the setting powder, and use it throughout the day to reduce shine.

Clean Makeup Applicators (as needed)

Don’t let microbiome-disrupting microbes live on your makeup brushes and sponges. Gently clean and sanitize them every time you use them with our all-natural, biodegradable, quick, and easy Corum Makeup Brush Cleaner Concentrate. It only takes a few seconds to get applicators clean if you clean them immediately after using them.

ORDER DOES NOT MATTER

Moisturize Lips

Protect, repair, nourish, and seal in moisture on lips while you sleep. Our lip butter works great around eyes and on cuticles, too! Keep this handy and use as needed throughout the day.

Stop the Stink

New Zealand Totarol and zinc fight odor-causing bacteria to stop the stink before it starts. Use our natural, aluminum-free, baking soda-free, alcohol-free, preservative-free stick on all your sweaty parts. Use on clean, dry skin as needed.

Relax and Unwind

Stress damages the skin barrier. Our all-natural Downtime serum with pre-diluted calming essential oils helps relax and calm both mind and body whenever you need a bit more downtime. Use as needed.
