Hi runzen,
It sounds like you may need to add a couple steps to your regimen if you want to clear things up. From what you've said, it seems your pores may be a little clogged and irritated. I would suggest using a gentle cleanser at least once a day to really get rid of any dirt or oil. Try John Masters Rose Foaming Face Wash, it's really gentle. You're clogged pores may be due to dead skin that needs to be removed, so twice a week use an exfoliating cleanser or massage your face gently with a clean washcloth. To control shiny skin, tone tone tone!!!! I recommend a product with witch hazel or straight witch hazel, or rose or lavender water. These products help clear up problematic skin. I don't know much about Cerva Cream, but make sure you're using a light moisturizer and only apply it to the areas that feel tight.
Hang in there and know that those with oily skin have less wrinkles down the road! ; )
Oh! Also try doing a home facial steam to open up the pores. I'll post how to do this on a new thread.
