oily face…. cleansers/moisturizers tips etc.?
so my face used to be bad. like i used to get zits and pimples all the time.
and then i went to the dermatologist and i got benzaclin and something else that i cant think of the name right now... it is really popular and it is an acne spot treatment. (ugh dont you hate it when the name is there but you cant think of it...)
anyway and i was given pills to take. (which i never really took so my parents stopped taking me to the dermatologist)
anyway... i stuck with that treatment and they told me to use cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer which i use.
and my face looked 100% better.
well now my face is starting to look oily and i got a few zits the other day. what can i do!!!???
thanks.

well when you use the ointments use less if you put to much on it will clog ur pours anyway. also use lotion your face gets greasy and oily so that your skin is moist if you put lotion on it will keep it from needing to be oily because the lotion will be the moisturizer.

I don’t think there are any such medication that make pimples and zits permanently disappear. You’re gonna have to stay on medication ur whole life!! Lol, that’s what i hate about pimples, cuz i have them too. You can try buying a cleanser…like Clean & Clear cleansers. Wash ur face every night or morning or both, and trust me, the oily skin goes away and there are some that helps treat acne too.

ProActiv has some awesome oil soaking pad things..
They really work good, and make my skin feel awesome.
They also have some pimple treating concealer and foundation that treats the acne WHILE it’s on (all day), so it doesnt make new one pop up..you should try that for the pimples. The refining mask takes the unneeded oil off of you skin, so your skin isnt as oily, and it’s very soft (takes care of acne aswell!)
And also, try using the 3 step system from ProActiv, works very good, just be patiant, it will go away :)
Good Luck!

Well I don’t have oily skin. I have really good skin. So I don’t know if it’s because I take good care of it or I just don’t have oily skin. I’ve never used pro-active but you could try it. I use cetaphil too. But I use ‘Yes To Carrots’ face cream. Some tips for getting spots on your face away are to not have bangs(or hair on your face/forehead/cheeks/etc), wash your face AT LEAST 2 times a day(morning, night, and when you get home from school or something). By washing your face it does not mean to just splash water on your face. It means using your cetaphil! Also, to not use makeup or cover up. It clogs your pours and created the bacterial build up that’s giving you your problem. No blush or anything. Plus, keep your pillows cases clean! It’s just healthy to keep EVERYTHING clean. Don’t touch your face or eyes or anything very often either. Oh! Another tip: When putting face cream on, don’t put it down the middle of your face, that’s wear you sweat the most on your face. So only on the sides of your forehead, cheeks, and eyes. No nose or under your nose or chin or middle of your forehead(unless it’s super needed, then just use a LITTLE). Hope SOMETHING works. :)

Human skin consists of many tiny pores. These pores are connected to oil glands. Once these oil glands are blocked by the sedum or dirt substance and infected by bacteria, pimples will break out. Doctors always use benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to kill bacteria in skin pores, and other pills are used to restrict hormone and oil secretion. Those all have some harmful effects on your body. You should remember that pimples will always back if you can not keep face clean. In order to get ride of pimples, you must keep your face clean all times. You can try Chlorella Gel Cleanser. It is made of edible algae and contains vitamins, Carotene, chlorophyll, amine acids, proteins, SOD enzyme, alga polysaccharides . Chlorella Gel Cleanser can clean corneous cells, sebum, sweat, dust, and removes pimples quickly.
