Skin care for oily skin

so i just put a post up about foundation primer for oily skin so if you know any of that to help that would be great as well. But i really need a skin care line that can help reduce the oil in my skin. I took accutane 3 years ago and since then my face became extremely oily. I want a skin line/products that will help. morning wash, masks, night time care. ANYTHING will help ladies :)

I have combo skin (normal to oily, oil slick across nose and the apples of my cheeks) and don't stick to one "line" of products. I use a gentle cleanser (switching right now between Philosophy's Purity Made Simple and Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash at night and mornings I cleanse with Philosophy's Micro-delivery Exfoliating Wash. I only moisturize (with Hope In A Jar) when I feel my skin needs it. I wear Philosophy's The Present Clear Makeup under my foundation or alone with a little Bare Escentuals Tinted Mineral Veil over it. If I really want to control the shine, I put a little bit of Milk of Magnesia on my oily zone before my foundation. I don't mask that often...in fact, I can't remember the last time I used a mask. And I do cleanse with my Clarisonic nightly. You don't want to "dry up" your skin, just sort of control the oil. My mother has oily skin and shes' 58 with not one wrinkle on her face.

Now I'm going to wait anxiously for other product suggestions you are going to get. I'm always willing to try a new cleanser or skin treatment. :-)

I swear by Clean & Clear Morning burst. Or have you tried Cetaphil?

I'm wondering if you're still under the care of a derm considering that you were on accutane? I would ask him what would work best with whatever derm meds you're on. My dermatologist reccomended neutrogena oil free acne wash over 10 years ago and i find it still works very well. i think it's the best when it comes to oily skin!
