I live in hot humid FL with oily skin. I actually stopped fighting with my skin because I found that using multiple products to rid my skin of oil was actually drying it out which caused a whole other set of problems. What are you currently using for skincare?

Argan oil. Sounds crazy I know but oil combats oil and it's totally non comedogenic so it won't contribute to breakouts and t actually helps slow your own sebum production. I'm not kidding it works great for me and I have hella sensitive, oily and breakout proned skin.

Are you exfoliating? try a bha (salicylic acid) exfoliater. that can really help w oily skin. also use a alcohol free toner after cleansing

I agree with Whitney...oil combats oil. I'm just speaking from my experience here but I used to have very oily skin. I never moisturized and only used bar soap because it was so sensitive and I had bad reactions to a lot of things. I started using Tartes Maracuja oil and it made a world of difference. now I have a great skin care routine and don't get nearly as oily as I used to. Alot of times your skin produces excess amounts of oil because its actually dehydrated. so don't be afraid of face oils and good moisturizers! it may make a world of difference.

Kelly, that's exactly how I was. It's crazy that oil, something you never wanted near your face was the only thing that actually helped.

I'm with Danny. I use an AHA 17% serum at least twice a week. Just need a nice balance of oil but don't dry your skin out trying to to have an oil free face. The gals made some great suggestions.

Paula, you can find tartes maracuja oil at tartecosmetics.com. I don't know if they do international shipping. I would look around at some other websites too. its sold in sephora and Ulta here in the states, not sure if you have anything like that over by you.

3 to 4 drops in the palm of Your hand and just rub it all over your face and neck after you have washed your face. start with night time first and see what you think.of it. it may take a little bit of time to notice a difference thought but it definitely shouldn't make your skin produce even more oil.

I live in Fl and and have oily skin that gets very dry, flaky around my nose. Don`t have a lot to spend on skincare. I use olive oil, it worked better for me than ole henrikson.

Agree w/ the argan oil, but suggest picking up the light version of Josie maran.
