Two products that have definitely helped my VERY oily skin are:
If over 25 yrs -helps to clean skin twice a day with a salicylic Acid wash. Salicylic Acid will exfoliate your skin without damaging surface cell with rough, uneven abrasives. Neutrogena makes three equally great washes with 2% salicylic Acid. My skin can take it but some are sensitive to high levels of salicylic. Lower levels are available. Be sure to apply an oil-free sunscreen before going out.
I skip the toner bc it seems to make my skin either dry-out or become VERY oily to overcompensate for dryness
After wash i follow with a serum
PCA - a&c serum (about $70... but really worth it) or Bioelements Quick Refiner ($40) These help to stimulate collagen production
Pevonia -oily skin cream (about $40) Just a dot or two will do accompanied by a few dots of an oil-free sunscreen. I use more skin cream at night during the best cell regeneration hours.
For my acne:
Pevonia skin clarifying mask ($40) Contains Sulfur which dries dries out oil, tightens pores and prevents outbreaks (use 2x per week).
