5-step routine for acne-prone skin

What Is the Acne Control Set?

The Acne Control Set is a 5-piece skincare routine built for oily, combination and acne-prone skin dealing with breakouts, hormonal breakouts and sensitivity.

This set pairs a gentle PM cleanser, a calming AM cleanser, a lightweight hydrating serum, an oil-balancing moisturizer and a brightening vitamin C booster into one simple routine. Each step is formulated to clear and calm breakouts without stripping or irritating the skin, so acne-prone skin can be treated without becoming drier or more reactive.

Who This Set Is For

The Acne Control Set is made for skin that breaks out easily, feels inflamed or reactive, and needs oil control without dryness. It's especially suited to hormonal breakouts, where skin needs both acne-fighting ingredients and barrier-supporting hydration at the same time.

Best for these skin concerns

  • Breakouts and hormonal breakouts
  • Clogged pores and excess oil
  • Redness and inflammation from acne
  • Acne scars and hyperpigmentation
  • Sensitivity paired with breakouts
  • Dehydration in oily or combination skin

Suitable skin types

Formulated for oily, combination and acne-prone skin, including skin that is also sensitive.

Every step is lightweight and oil-free where it counts, so the routine treats breakouts without clogging pores or leaving a greasy finish.

Key Benefits

  • Reduces breakouts by unclogging pores and balancing oil production
  • Calms inflammation, redness and swelling associated with acne
  • Brightens skin tone and helps fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation
  • Delivers deep hydration without oiliness or a heavy feel
  • Supports clearer skin over time by keeping pores clean and balanced

What's Included (5 Items)

PM Cleanser

Rise & Shine Gel Cleanse (10ml)

A gentle gel cleanser that removes makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup while helping keep pores clear. Formulated with 2% lactic acid, panthenol and allantoin, it reduces breakouts without stripping the skin, since a stripped barrier tends to make acne worse. Massage in for a full 60 seconds to cleanse inside the pores.

AM Cleanser

Gentle Skin Cleanser (10ml)

A creamy milk cleanser that purifies and moisturizes without stripping the skin. Panthenol and oat protein help repair dry, irritated skin and calm redness, keeping the barrier hydrated first thing in the morning.

Hydration Step

Skin Water 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum (5ml)

A medical-grade, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid serum that penetrates deeper than typical department-store formulas. It instantly plumps and hydrates skin without a greasy feel, while panthenol keeps the barrier calm during breakouts.

Oil Control

Niacinamide Water Cream (5g)

A water-based cream with 5% niacinamide, formulated for sensitive skin. It reduces breakouts and inflammation while balancing oil production, making it an essential part of an acne control regimen. Panthenol and allantoin keep skin comfortable while it works.

Brightening

Vitamin C Booster (5ml)

Formulated as an oil with 15% L-ascorbic acid to prevent oxidation and maximize potency. It brightens skin and helps lighten hyperpigmentation and acne scars, while seabuckthorn oil, carrot seed oil and CoQ10 support and protect the skin as it repairs.

What Makes This Set Different?

Most acne routines rely on harsh, stripping ingredients like sulfates or high-percentage salicylic acid, which damage the moisture barrier and can make breakouts worse over time. The Acne Control Set was built around the opposite approach: clinically dosed actives, like 2% lactic acid and 5% niacinamide, at percentages chosen to treat breakouts effectively without triggering irritation or dryness.

Each formula is layered to work together, so oil-prone skin gets pore-clearing, oil-balancing ingredients while still receiving the hydration and barrier support that acne-prone skin often misses.

Esthetician-formulated skincare

Created by Diana Vo

The Acne Control Set was developed by VO Beauty founder, esthetician and skincare formulator Diana Vo for use in professional acne treatments. Every step is designed to clear and calm breakouts while keeping the skin barrier supported, so acne-prone and sensitive skin can be treated at the same time.

Not Sure Where To Begin?

Your skin reflects your environment, hormones, stress, and nutrition. It can be tough to understand what’s at play, but Diana, a holistic facialist, is here to help.

In a 1-on-1 virtual consultation, you'll learn to listen to your skin, calm inflammation, and create a personalized routine to heal and nourish from within.

After photo Skin Consultation
"Diana’s virtual consultation genuinely changed my life. I was defeated by my acne flair-ups, I spent $500 to see a dermatologist and was prescribed Spironolactone and an antibiotic but I wasn’t seeing results."

"My skin still felt tight, hot, and inflamed. Since I’ve had skin problems as a teen, I was determined to get to the root of my flair ups. I decided to pull the trigger and set up an appointment.

Within minutes Diana was able to pinpoint the cause of my oily/dry acne-prone skin and suggested a simple hydrating routine. Within DAYS I saw a major improvement in my skin and my confidence. She suggested the gentle cleanser, skin water, and beauty sleep mask but I think the cherry on top was the small sample of the barrier cream she tossed in.

I’ve been using her suggested routine for 3 months and I have never felt better about my skin, I promise you will not regret your virtual consult—she has a wealth of knowledge that is so niche and extensive. Next up is getting a facial with her magic touch!"
