im looking for a good skin care product. i have a hard time finding anything that works well for me, because i have oily skin, so most stuff just dries out my skin and makes it worse. so yeah, any recommendations are helpful. thanks! =D
i’ve already tried proactive and found that it didn’t help any more than stuff you can buy from the drug store for a wayy cheaper price.
I have the same problem as you. What I do is I clean my face with Neutrogena’s Foaming Face Wash (blue container), and I moisturize with Aveeno (the SPF kind if I’m going out, but usually just the regular lotion).
Hope that helps.
proactiv, great balance to make your skin not to dry and not to oily. also lancome
i am using the wave.
it’s not like proactiv that makes acne go away, but it’s just a cleanser, and my skin in perfect now (i had oily)
Hi there^^
Biotherm!
And. . . Also. . . I’m from Korea, and they sell this really good skincare line called Laneige. . . . Check it out on google^^
Well, I cured my oily skin without any topical products. What actually worked for me was peppermint/spearmint tea. I read about it on acne. org, so I decided to try it. I got some Bigelow’s Mint Medley tea at Meijer for $2. 50, and I drink it twice a day. It tastes a little funky, but I got over that quick, because after about a week or two my skin wasn’t oily anymore. And my skin was always drenching with oil and shiny enough to be used as a mirror, because of genetics, but this tea cured it completely which was amazing for me. I really suggest you try it, although any peppermint or spearmint tea should work just as well.
My own personal favorite skin care product, though, is Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 10. I have pretty stubborn moderate acne, but using this along with taking zinc and drinking apple cider vinegar (and spearmint/peppermint tea!) has really helped my skin.
I just use Vannicream. Its soap, but its pretty amazing.
I second the Laneige recommendation. As mentioned, its a Korean line, but its fantastic stuff and totally worth it. I was very glad to have found it in Chinatown.
I’ve also be very happy with Chanel’s Hydromax for a moisturizer. Its expensive but it doesn’t make me break out and even makes my pores look smaller.
i use baby wipes to clean my face. i buy the target brand the one with aloe and vitamin E. believe it or not it really does clean my makeup off and doesn’t leave it dry.
after that i use loreal active daily moisture spf 15 ( it’s for all skin types-CVS) you only need a lil bit to cover your whole face.
hope this helps:)
WATER. it cleared up my skin and made me feel great
