Many people with acne-prone skin avoid oils, assuming they will clog pores and cause breakouts. In reality, the right face oils can help balance oil production, calm inflammation, and support the skin barrier. The key is choosing oils that are lightweight, non-comedogenic, and rich in beneficial nutrients.
