I am tired of having oily skin!

I'm 31 years old!! Would have thought I would have grown this out a long time ago Of course it is much worse during the summer and esp when it's humid...

I do use Cetaphil which I find removes the oil but slowly during the day I find it creeping back...then by the end of the day I just want to scrub my face..and I feel like it makes my makeup get all gross...

I do like the Cetaphil but does anyone have any experience with any others - that keep your face non-greasy and shiny for at least 8 hrs or so!

Re: I am tired of having oily skin!

I realy like Neutrogena products. Cetaphil just doesn't cut it for me.

Have you tried using a mattifying product under your makeup? Clean & Clear also sells oil-blotting sheets that work well!

I was at the mall today and I bought this at Origins - "Checks and Balances" (for combo skin - I get oily in the T zone):


Checks and Balances™ Frothy face wash

When it comes to faces with dry and oily places, it takes a clever cleanser to balance the two. This gentle, frothy face wash carefully does both jobs without canceling each other out. Broad Leaf Kelp Extract discourages excess oil production, while Wheat Protein balances and protects dry prone zones. And Tourmaline actually makes water wetter to more easily disperse dirt and sebum down the drain. There’s also aromatic Bergamot, Spearmint and Lavender to add pleasure to the process. Skin feels comfortably refreshed after cleansing, never tight, pulled or parched.

i have used this before and i love it. i have very oily skin also. i now use a moisturizer by bobi brown for oily skin, it's new. it works pretty good. i am always looking for new stuff for oily skin, i can't stand it

I use Cetaphil and follow it with Instant Mattification by Bliss. The stuff is amazing. I have to use it a couple of times a day, but it works better and lasts longer than anything I've tried.
