Having An Oily And Blackhead Face?

[GiaGia]

What brand should I use?

Any good brand recommend? I would really appreciate it. My face had been suffering oily, especially my forehead...I try Clean and Clear Oil and Blackhead, Proactive...but it does not work...god...I want clean and clear skin.

I go to a dermatologist -- actually, an acne specialist, and they recommended Cetaphil and Dove soap.

It's mainly because I use strong medicines on my face, but maybe you could give those a try?

For a while, what worked for me when my face wasn't so bad was:

1) Wash face with Cetaphil

2) Apply Clearasil acne pads

:]

The Body Shop has a really good skin care line. You should check it out.

And Philosophy skincare is great too, but it's kinda pricey.

For me

i use to use clay mask

once a week.

cuz it sucks up the oil on ur face (:

[Guest Carmen.]

Yep definitely a mask!

Queen Helene Mine Jelup Masque does wonders, I tell you!

I started using Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 about a month or two ago, and it is working AMAZING. I used to have such oily skin and bad acne, and now my pimples are almost ALL GONE! My blackheads are going away too... and my skin is so much less oily I have to exfoliate though, to get off all the dead skin... but it's TOTALLY worth it!

I first exfoliate with St. Ives Apricot Scrub if I need to, then I wash my face with Dove Beauty Bar soap. After that, I put on the Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, and dab on Mario Badescu's Oil Free Moisturizer (seriously, this moisturizer is amazing... it absorbs into my skin quickly and doesn't leave it feeling oily or looking shiny at all).

My face is naturally oily so I use "Oil Free Acne Stress Control" which is a power cleaner scrub by Neutrogena. It's been recommended by Allure magazine ever since it came out, which is why I used it in the first place AND it is relatively cheap~ 7 dollars at any drugstores I think.

I would definitely recommend it!! It is really refreshing and after I use it, my face is definitely less oily. I used to be a member of Proactiv, but their products always ended up drying my skin, so I had to buy other products, but the scrub from Neutrogena prevents acne too, so I absolutely love it!! My face is a lot clearer now! All i need now is an even complexion =(.

same...well the persa gel part...though some ppl say it dries out their skin really bad

i put it over my face before i sleep

just find a cleanser you like, oil free moisturizer and you should be good

[Guest Azura]

the best is to see the dermatologist....

Persagel 10 + St.Ives Apricot Scrub = Love

[Guest squeaky]

oooh how much is the persagel? i'm thinking in investing in turn for better skin

[Guest PDURRR]

^its like 5.99~ around that price

if you think salylic acid doesn't do anything for you skin, you should give it a try

panoxyl aqual gel use to be a better deal bc they gave you 1.5 oz of 10% benzoyl peroxide instead of 1.0oz that persa gel gives..but i dont think they make it anymore...U_U

[Guest Orange Flavored Sarcasm]

I have clear skin, breakouts are pretty rare for me .__.

Whenever I get a blackhead:

1)Neutrogena Cleanser

2)Clean & Clear Blackhead Eraser

And whenever your face gets oily, Clean & Clear blotting sheets are the best x3 My cousin was the one that reccommended it to me and it works well :`DD

[Guest airedust]

Queen Helene Mint Julupe mask is pretty good but takes a couple of masks to get the desired results and you have to keep doing it or itll grow again >.> just open your pores with hot water and exfoliate and then close them with cold water~ cheapest method bc i havent found a good solution to them yet either~

[Guest kishycathiee]

PAPAYASOAPWORKEDWONDERS!!

Totally reduces oil over time, if you could wait a 3 weeks? :0

The expensive ones are better though.

and what Orange Flavored Sarcasm said: oil-blotting sheets are a must ^^

CLINIQUE 3 STEP

it works really well, especially for oily skin.

i recently just got it before i had acne and oily face, and my face is smooth as a baby's bottom (:

for best results get all 3 steps. there's different kinds though, like 1,2,3,4. if you have really oily face, i suggest 3. that's what i use. but if not 1 or 2 would be good. you should definitely try it. here's the site: [X]
