Remedy for Oily Skin?

I think I've tried just about everything for oily skin and the only thing that finally worked for me was a product sold at Target called AcneFree. I bought the little trial box that had the facial cleaner, repair lotion (you can wear under make-up) and a tube of terminator 10 for spot treatment. I use it everyday and it sure does the job! They have different kinds for your problems, be careful of the strongest (packaged in orange) it can be too strong and make your face red.

I really feel for you. I, too, have had problem skin and always wanted soemthing that would heal the breakouts & fade the marks as soon as possible.

While that may be very difficult for an at-home treatment to accomplish, I can only give you advice from this point on.

When washing your face, use a product with at least 2% Salicylic Acid (Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Cream or Scrub Cleanser is wonderful). Benzoil Peroxide can bleach hair, fabrics, etc...

Wet your face with warm (not hot!) water, apply in a circular motion, and most importantly; let it sit on your face for a few minutes, so the *very gentle* acid has time to do it's "job". You can brush your teeth, etc. while waiting.

Then rinse well with warm water (again, not hot) and blot dry.

Do this faithfully in the morning and at night & you should start to see results in a very short amount of time.

To help things along a little faster, you may want to consider the whole line of whatever wash you use. The line I mentioned (from Neutrogena) has a liquid toner & a face lotion that all work together to give you the best possible results. You really only need to use the toner at night to get a deep-down clean (moisten a small cotton pad/ball & wipe until nothing more comes out of your pores & onto the pad/ball), but should use the lotion in the AM & PM.

I hope some of this information helps you in your quest for clearer skin!

Best of luck!
