I had the same problem so I can understand your frustrations.


First, I suggest you go to a beautician and see what they tell you. Everyone is different.


Secondly, always maintain a good cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine for oily skin.


Thirdly, do not over do it! I have been told time and time again that if you let your skin dry out too much then your skin will react and get even worse. This is why using too much alcohol is not a good idea.


Personally I find the oil free range from Biotherm Biopur very good. The Biotherm Acnopur seems a bit too strong. It is worth spending a bit of money on it. Regular masks also help. I use Alexandre Fabelle every day. Tee trea products can also do wonders if you find the right ones but smell really bad.


Good luck!
I am a beauty therapist and unlike the answers before mine...... i believe that even though you have oily skin you should still cleanse and moisturise to balance yr skin. Use a mild, soap free cleanser and a hydrating oil free moisturiser. If you keep stripping your skin of its natural oils, ie by over washing it, the sebaceous glands will only produce more oil to protect the skin.creating the problem! Therefore work at balancing it. Please do yourself a favour, stay away from harsh stripping products like clinique and go and get some dermalogica(skin care range)...it will work wonders. Excessivly oily skin is genetic, so you have to manage it, as you get older the skin s natural oils dry up and you start to age...people who have really oily skin are often those who age later...so at least thats positive! Stay away from aqueous cream..... mineral oil......nasty
powder foundation or two way cake suit oily skin best.
Keep alcohol pads with you in your purse. When this happens, step into the ladies, wash your face with the alcohol pad and pat dry with a paper towel. Alcohol will dry up this oily stuff over time and eventually will quit being so excessive.

Clinique do a range of products for oily/shiny skin, as do Clarins, and I'm sure others do too. Go to a department store and get some samples to see which ones suit your skin best. It will be trial and error but you're sure to find one in the end. Good luck!
hi , I'm a skin specialist and i swear by aqueous cream it moisturises deep into your pores and is only water based , you can wash your face in it too , in the maternity unit where i work mums use it to moistur baby's bottoms and you never see a shiny baby butt lol try it its magic cream , you can get it from any pharmacy cheap too !!
Moisturisers (no matter what type) usually make faces shiny, so Id go for a face wash for oily skin, u can get all types as they help dry up the skin.......
Hi i have this problem, and i was never able to find one until now, well actually there is two that are good. The first one is boots no7 balancing oil free moisturiser it controls shine for 12 hours and its very good, when i use it there is no need to use foundation it is that good its 拢8.00, they have other types in this product like a night cream and face wash, doesnt smell very nice but it works and is well worth the money. The other one is Biore shine control moisturiser 拢4.99, its pretty good as a make up base but doesnt give the effect of the no7 one. I would also get a shine control pressed powder. I use the the balancing conditioner and boots naturals shine control pressed powder. and my face isnt gunked up woth foundation that is supposed to reduce shine.
ponds do an excellent day moisturiser for ';oily skin'; which gives your skin a matte finish,i also find the body shops tinted moisturiser excellent for your skin and you dont even know your wearing it
Bodyshop Tea Tree Moisturiser. Fabulous for oily skin and stops shinyness!
some people sweat using man fat is good for the old complexion
I also occasionally suffer from oily skin, and have found 2 remedies.





The 1st is to use oil absorbing sheets by Clean %26amp; Clear. They're brilliant at soaking up the oil that's on your skin, and can be used under and also over make up, so they're perfect at any time of day.





The 2nd solution that works for me is to cut out bread from my diet. Not sure if this will work for you, but I definitely notice that my skin does not get oily if I haven't been eating bread. If you can't live without bread, just have brown or rye bread, or something a bit healthier than plain old white bread. Probably best to speak with a nutritionist about what could be causing your condition.
