Venusia cream is not specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It may be too heavy and could potentially clog pores, leading to more acne breakouts. I recommend using oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to clean skin twice a day for best results.
