im facing the same problem, and it's kinda hard to get rid off the oily face..
but now im avoiding oily food and wash my face regularly..and that helps..

Then the shiny face problem??

you can say that..practice yourself to wash regularly your face and try to avoid oily food at all cost..

there's a product by gatsby, u can get at guardian or watson, it's a black film which can absorb oil very well. try to look for gatsby product in a small white box. the film is black but after u rub it to oily skin, it will absorb the oil and become transparent. very effective, but it absorbs oil only, doesnt control oil production from ur face. so if ur face is the type which becomes oily quickly, then need to use it often la.. it's 70 pieces for about rm7. should buy one and always keep in ur purse/pocket, so that later if want to take picture or anything, can always use that and ur face wont look shiny.

Accutane can reduce oil alot.
but expensive.RM10+- per pill .

even my mom also refuse to support for me.haha

Use Evian face Mist, luv it!

this is the fastest way to wiping out the oil..some said that by using the film,
it will worsen your face because technically we will spreading a germ/dirt all over our face.. dunno whether it's true or not..

Then how?? Oh ya..!! I also got a very funny problem. My face is oily while my hand is damn dry..!! Until i have to put some kind of lotion. So does there got some way to transfer the oil from face to hand to balance it .. ??

TS - Having a shinny (oily) face looks to me that the skin condition of your face might be lacking of water, hence buying any oil-reduce/removal products might not get into the root issue of your skin condition. If this problem really bothers u a lot and u'd want to cure it seriously, I'd suggest you get professional help. Brands that I trust is Loreal, Clinque, La Pairie, Shesido, but the first one dont have a counter wiht prof. help. I get my problems solved with two MLM products then now i m using a mixture of almost all brands here without any issues anymore.

The major thing i wish to share with you is that: dont give up/fed up: The problem on ur face can be solved and your skin type will be changed from oily to normal with proper attention and 'faith'
U may pm me for more details just in case i dont come here anymre

depends on how u use it. u're not supposed to wipe ur face, just dab the thing on the oily part. and if scared on infection, use different film for each part. my fren wanted to save money, so he use one film for the whole face. one film about the size of credit card. i dont think it's the ideal solution to have non-oily face, but it's helpful to carry a pack along especially when there's a function, party, etc.

It sounds like other cosmetics products with Girls can do it too. A small size of paste to be carry in pocket and squeeze out a little will be able to matte the whole face. It is not a new product.

what I watched from 女人我最大 is u can't "overuse" the oil control film... use once or twice a day is ok, but if u use it like over 5 times a day, ur skin will receive an alarm that ur face is not having enuff oil, thus it produces even more oil instead...

Yeah..i heard people said that too..!!

i use l'oreal mensexpert and it works very well. i'm feeling more comfortable now.

1.use a suitable cleanser that able remove excessive oil on your face
2.apply oily control lotion
3.use only oil free moisturiser
4.try dermalogica clearing mattifier - reduces congestion and control shine

p/s; do not over cleanse your skin ,over dried skin will cause more oil production

oo.. where i can get that dermalogica?

using skin food peach sake cleanser, toner, and serum.

Make sure that you are properly hydrated. Keep your face well-moisturised. Dry skin actually cause more oil production, causing your face to turn oily.

I used to have very very oily skin, but when I start to make sure that my skin is properly moisturised, my skin conditions improved. Make sure that your moisturiser is light not too heavy or creamy which can cause clogged pores.

I use, Clean & Clear facial cleanser and Laneige Pore clearing range.
Biore sunblock milk also helps to control my sebum production.

oil blotter paper!
it's damn useful for oily faces, haha.
i prefer clean & clear's. it is just stop the oil temporary,
to solve it better use some oil-control products

Hi Eguy,
I hv overly active oily face too. I hv tried many many so-called 'oil control' products before but all seems to unable to help me a lot. But recently i came across "ZA's Pore Smoother" powder. It was just launched recently. I bought it at Watson during sales and after (10 or 15% not sure) discount it's abt $29++. It's quite small & round in shape & metallic blue colour (the packaging, i mean).

Well...i hv not tried other expensive (& branded) products before but.... i can tell U that....after using this "Pore Smoother", it instantly absorb the oil on my face and stays matte for many hours to come. Even can reduce the size of your pores too.

Actually for that kind of price ($30++ if no discount) and so little only inside the packaging...it is considered expensive too lor

Those 'absorbent' films are just for very temporary solution only and within an hour or 2, the oil will come back to yr face very quickly.

Try it once, Eguy. And hope you will agree with me later. I hope it will work on U too.

how about t zone (face) oily even i in the air condition room?
what product can used? =)

the ZA Pore Smoother is great especially for the T-Zone area

ZA Pore Smoother? izit can easy get from guardian?

Can find ZA products at Watson too

thank ya=)
today dy bought it...
wish to reduce my oily t-zone...

hi,
eh...no need to thank me lar cuz i din do anything to help cuz it was juz a suggestion. But i hope the product is able to work on you as it works on me lor. Let me know later how was it & hopefully it's not a waste of your money

hey there~
i am hving oily t zone too =(
feels like its getting more n more oily day by day
any promotional price for the ZA pore smoother?where have u bought it?
hehe..
thanks

You need to avoid using cream base products at your t-zone 1st, preferably water based products. eg, moisturiser in water base will be better.. and avoid overdose at t-zone. But you can't use oil controlling products too often, nt everyday and not too much too.

For me, I use water base moisturiser as well, and try to get essence product. Essence helps to repair your inner skin, while moisturiser helps to repair outer skin.. I apply essence on day, and moisturiser during nite and my skin improve more.. =D

My friend has this kind of case, she used too many of oil controling products, and now her outer layer of skin appears to be dried. To have a lil bit of oil on skin does no harm as well, this control the blemishes and pimples. If too oily, will cause blemishes and pimples, if totally no oil, will cause dry skin.. So need be careful and friednly to our skin. Try to use mild products as well..

I have a few products (from beauty salon) which helps to control oil, but it's a bit mild 1.. pm me if u're interested..

i just use two days and the ZA pore smoother leave at the hotel


i bought it from MV guardian... WAtson at MV also got ZA stall...
unfortunately now OUT OF STOCK
the price is RM30++, i forgot the actual price

Once or twice?
I dabbed the blotting film like twice per day

I believe that having healthy skin is from within, the eating diet.
Cleansing your skin too frequent may dry out the skin causing it to be scaly which is kinda ugly.
I wear makeup to work and need to wash it when prayer time comes once after lunch time and once before heading home. I use a very mild cleansing wash / soap like Cetaphil.

Look at the bright side, from the research they did, oily-skinned people tend to get wrinkles a bit later than those who have non-oily skin
