My skin doesn't ever look like it has any makeup on under my school's fluorescent lighting!! Of course, whatever does look like it's still on... soon melts off of my EXTREMELY oily face. I want to know the best kind of (skin care, moistureizer, primers, foundation, and powder) that would be able to help or at least last on my greasy face (lol). If you could list the price, and what you have experienced with the product that would be awesome too!!!
What cosmetic/cleaning products are best for OILY skin?? HELP!?
Well first of all, stop using foundations and primers to cover your zits. That's causing you to break out over and over! Using too many acne fighting products can make your produce over produce oil, which then clogs your pores. I use Clinique's 3-Step system in Dry/ Combination skin type. It cleared my acne and I stopped wearing any liquid foundations or primers so my skin can actually " breath ". It also moisturizes without fragrances or any oil clogging ingredients.

Use Clean n' Clear. My cousin gets great results.
Reply:I can empathize with you. I'm 31 and still have somewhat oily skin, although when I was in school it was alot worse. The best thing you can do is not overwash your face. Use a bar soap called Purpose. It's gentle, but still gets your face clean, and it's dermatologist recommended. Many times when people have an oily face they try to dry it out with all sorts of products and that makes it far worse. I recommend washing your face with Purpose 2-3 times/day. It's about $2-$3.
As far as moisturizers go it took me a long time to find one that wouldn't make my skin greasy. Estee Lauder's Clear Difference Advanced Oil-Control Hydrator for Oily Skin is good for that, but it's expensive...about $30. But, 1 pump covers your whole face so the bottle lasts for a while.
Also, I discovered oil blotting sheets when I was in high school. They saved me from looking shiny all day. At lunchtime I would just blot my face with 1-2 of these sheets and that would help me until the end of the school day. I've tried several brands %26amp; have found Crabtree %26amp; Evelyn's sheets to be the best. They are $5 for 60 sheets.
Good luck with your skin and if it's any consolation just know that your skin will slow down oil production once you get to your 30's. =)

Reply:You should try oil blotting sheets. From Victorias Secret.
Reply:Look up Bee-Luscious on a Google search. They have an entire oily skin system. Then use their primer then foundation. This will completely fix your problem. My daughter has the same problem and this is how we fixed it. These are all spa quality skincare and cosmetics. I won't use anything else ever again.
Reply:I've used aularale.com/7002 for years with superb results. The Moisture Balancing regimen is for oily skin and it sounds like you could use a masque 2-3 times a week along with vitamin C serum. Only use a small amount of moisturizer like what you'd get on the head of a q-tip. Drink more water than you currently do and cut out the fried, greasy foods.
Reply:White spirit is effective, I hope this helps.
Reply:"Stoogebegone" is pretty good for the oily, soitenly!
Reply:Sorry, I really don't have a great answer for you with regards to products because I myself is suffering from an oily face. I also tend to have acne as oily faces are acne prone too. I tried Proactiv and it worked at first but I don't use it anymore as I've said it's not working for me anymore. Although they have a matifying gel which worked sorta ok then. I switched to Neutrogena(the one for acne and wrinkle reducer with salicylic acid) and it's working ok for so far. I'm also using Olay facial wash for sensitive skin then I use Oil of Olay toner before the Neutrogena face cream. As for foundation, I used to use bare mirerals too but it made me break out even more! And it's not really going to give you good coverage. What I only like about is it feels light on your skin and that's it! Then I tried MAC fluid fix as I've read here in answers as someone was suggesting it to somebody with acne prone skin. I hated it! It feels heavy, it kinda cakes a little and still made me break out plus my skin feels more oilier. Yesterday I just bought an Almay foundation($11) for acne prone skin which has Salicylic Acid and so far it feels great! It's cheaper, it feels so light as if I'm not wearing any foundation at all! It dries up instantly! So far I've been observing my face and it hasn't been shiny yet. You know what, one good thing about having oily face though is that we get less wrinkles which is a good thing right? Just be diligent with your oil blotting sheets because putting too much stuff on your skin may not be that good either. The more you try to put strong stuff on your face, washing more often makes your skin produce more oil. Plus, one product may work for one person and it may not work for another. This is a trial and error thing. Goodluck!
Reply:have you ever tried Bior茅' pore perfect "pore unclogging scrub" they make it for different skin types %26amp; it is meant to exfoliate and refine your skin. The product itself is oil free so it won't add to your problem. and i believe it is under $12 at shoppers drug mart
Uhmm and don't forget that fluorescent lights don't flatter anyone
Oh and obviously if you've got oily skin dont wear oil based makeup products (i'm sure you already know this but hey it can't hurt to say, right? lol)
anyways i also love my astringent- it's olay's" refreshing toner" so when used with blotting pads tads any excess dirt and oil off your face - the toner is usually about $8
And as for foundation, sometimes it's better to go for a powder rather than a liquid or pencil because on oily skin it'll just melt, whereas if you blend a powder in well enough it should stay. i don't actually use foundation except for when i'm on stage, - it took me a long time to find a foundation/bronzer that didn't melt under all the lights but i love red earth's products. they're usually a little more expensive than the usual drug store brands but it is well worth it (i'm talking like 3 dollars more nothing earth-shattering)
hope this has been somewhat helpful. =]
Reply:Hey there. Have you tried a tea tree facial wash? Tea tree is antibacterial and great for correcting oil production and its natural
Reply:Green wintergreen rubbing alochol, pour a bit on a tissue and wipe your face..you will see the tissue become very dirty. Do it every morning and every night before bed. This is one of those tricks that no one ever knows..The best part..the bottle is usually about 89 cents... I find it at vons or walgreens.
My husband had bad acne and he went to the dermatoligist and tried everything but this works and he is perfectly clear.
