I use Clean and Clear oil blotters -- I like them because these little bits of whatever really soak up the oil and in the process they don't mess up your makeup. Freddy's idea is good, but I haven't tried it.

The blotters are difficult to come by here -- when I find them I usually buy several which lasts a long time. I haven't heard of the CVS line.
Have you ever been to the Marilyn Miglin salon in Chicago? I used to buy her Vit.C line -- I could just eat the cream it was so lucious.
Good to know -- Thanks! I'll look for them the next time I cross the border.
For me they work. Before I found out about them I used to wipe my face down with a kleenex -- but then by the end of the day most of my makeup was gone. These blotters will not disturb your makeup --I even use them on my eyes.
Yes, I've used Silene by Cellex C & Orchid Gel primer by Skinn -- but neither keep the oil slick at bay for the entire day. Do you know of any others?
That's the problem -- I've bought moisturizers that say "for a matte look" and as you say my face looks like "an oil drill" by the end of the day. I wonder if it would be wise just to use serums? What do you think?My face is like an oil drill with or without make-up!!![]()
I guess either I have to keep wiping my skin with the oil blotting paper or keep searching for the perfect oil free moisturiser that will leave my skin matte the entire day! It's just an trial n error thing n costly on top coz I keep buyin so many rubbish stuff that do not work!
I'm allergic to roses so I don't know if I'd have a reaction to the rose hip oil. I think I'm going to try staying with Cellex-C, then putting Hydra B5 on top; the only think with moisturizers is that you can have a SPF included --which means I'd have to add a sunscreen, and the ones I've tried are heavy.
SA I would think Freddy was referring to salycic acid -- which is often included in acne treatments. -- here again you would have to use a sun block if using that product -- unless there is a moisturizer that has SA + a sunblock. When I go into a Dept. store it takes me ages in the cosmetic Dept. 'cause I read all the ingredients. With me it's always been trial and error, sometimes the products work then I have a reaction. It is true that some products do more harm than good.
I'll look for it -- Freddy do you know if you have to buy it in a Department store or is it available at WalMart or in a drug store --- I'm so limited here -- got to move!
OK, I'll do that. The blink town I live in only has one drug store --- and a store my husband calls Macy's -- he's being very funny -- a variety store that has everything except cosmetics.
Who knows? Some older brands possibly haven't got new technology but work for some people. Some of the products that are found in drugstores may be owned by larger big department store brands and may be using their old formulations. The latest I read is that the new target group for skin care products will be directed towards 8 - 11 year olds. What do you think of that?
Have you seen the new Dove commercial showing how they transform an "ordinary" woman into a glamourous cover girl. Quite interesting.
Yuk, Yuk, Yuk! (I couldn't say Yuk Yuk -'cause that's the name of a night club in TO - mirecka would catch me on that)
It's a comedy club -- wait until some celebs are in town.Mari - I have no clue, and I'm afraid to look it up!![]()
