I know this may sound a bit crazy, but i have oily skin and something that I've tried recently and works great is Dawn soap, yes the dish washing soap but it is awesome. I use to break out and i don't now. It also is great as a shampoo, washes out any build up and makes your hair feel great (i have oily hair too).

Neutrogena has awesome oil absorbing sheets. They're portable so you can slide them in your purse and keep them there during the day, just in case you may need to use them!

I also have oily skin after a long day try dial bar soap, it will make your skin dry and tight just use a good moisturizer, or lotion daily.

Oily skin is the worst! I have it too. Always keep your skin clean and keep some oil absorbing pads in your purse or pocket. There are lots of products to choose from. Make sure your make up is for oily skin types--Cover Girl has some options for girls like us with oily skin. Also try an oil-absorbing primer which reduces shine. Back to cleaning again; try a toner or straight rubbing alcohol which is drying so it helps dry out really oil areas such as the T-zone, just be careful. Hope this helps. :)

Make sure you are using proper skincare. If you do not have acne do not use any acne products because the ingredients in an everyday acne face wash will dry out your skin and sometimes over produce oil production. When it comes to skincare, use a gel or foam cleanser to get that squeaky clean feeling. Use an appropriate moisturizer designed for oilier skin types, stay away from St. Ives scrubs!! As far as makeup, use something again that formulated for oily skin something with a matte finish.

The best soap to use for your skin is Dove, it has alot of moisture and all my dermatologists recommend it. They always said to never use Dial. Believe it or not, your skin produces oil, since it's trying to keep it from being dry, so drying out your skin won't solve the problem. One thing that made a big difference for me, was immediately right after I got out of the shower, I put lotion on my face. It honestly helped so much! Goodluck :)

Try using a face wash that helps with oily skin and every day and night before you go to bed wash your face with warm water. If you wear make up, make sure you use makeup removers because, if you don't your face will be dirty !
Hope that helped !

I have oily/acne prone skin and I have combatted it for years. I recently started using a new regiment in skin care that I think no one should be without. Don't call me crazy until you try it because it really does work...honey! Yes the honey you get from the store. It needs to be pure honey or organic honey is the best. If you are breaking out use a tablespoon of honey mixed with 1 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and leave for 30 mins. The honey is antibacterial and moisturizing. Even if you don't breakout just using honey can make the oil production from your face cut down significantly. I've been using this method for almost 2 months now and I promise you will not be sorry. You will be shocked and amazed at how well it works. Good luck hope this helps 😀

I have oily skin and although Clinique products are not cheap, the cleansing bottle are very excellent quality! This is the only product I have had great results with! Great Stuff!!!!

I don't know about a good cleanser for oily skin because I'm on a few acne medications so I'm not really supposed to use a cleanser or anything besides an exfoliant. But as far as makeup goes I use Naked Skin by Urban Decay and that's great for oily skins. Stays matte and looking fresh all day on me. But for powder I use cornstarch. It sounds insane but it really absorbs all the oil and controls it all day and it's unbelievable. After I've started using it I've never used anything else. You should give it a try

I have oily skin also and it has been a pain! Most def. if you wear makeup. I've tried a lot of products but the only i really like at the moment is shine control lotion by Expert and it was only about $7 at target! I use it right before i apply makeup ;)

Oily skin is simply annoying so to start things off DO NOT use a toner! Toners only strip your skin of its natural oils causing it to produce more sebum.yuck:p so i would recommend to use Cetaphil oil control and its light moisturizer which is good since its not a heavy moisterizer plus spf35! Give this 3 weeks and i bet your oily skin will get better as mine did!
Also try milk of magnesium as a face mask once a week it draws out all the excess dirt and oil.

Use blotting papers and set a oil controlling powder over your makeup!
