I am a 14 year old boy that has mild scarring from past ance which was cleared up by cetaphil, differin, and duac (all super amazing products!) and I have super oily skin. I know that it is inherited from my mom, the fact that I am a teenager, and the fact that I swim once a day on a swim team after school (soon to be twice!). My routine, in the morning I wash with the cetaphil, apply the duac, and moisturize. After I swim I wash with cetaphil (most of the time). Before I go to bed I was with cetaphil, apply differin, and moisturize, and take omega-3 fish oils (supposed to help?). My problem iis I have to use a blotting sheet every hour, and I'm sick of it. I'm pretty much thinking about my oily face all the time, and would love to be able to mattify it just for my mind's sake LOL. If anyone could point out anything that I am doing wrong, or share any more wonderful products I would appriciate it!

Thanks in advance,

My friend has that same problem. I know proactive is really only for pimples but she uses it for the use of making her skin not as oily as it normally is! I would suggest proactive or stride face pads. Witht the stride face pads all you have to do is wash your face with warm water and some face soap and them dab your face until it is dry and them lightly run the pad around the spot were your face is oily. I do that everyday and my face is no longer oily as much as it used to be and i hardly have any pimples same goes for my friend! I hope this helped:) good luck

instead of usin a lot of prouducts jus stick ta 1 and thatll probly b better. wash ur face mornin and night with a gentle soap and use ur hands. not ur wrag. tho it is oily u still need some moisterizer (i prefer OLAY). EVENLY. i hav really oily spots 2 and ive done it and it works.

Ask your doctor. Or Dermatologist preferably.
