hehe, guys and girls skin are different. so i assume the products effectiveness also will differ right?

frm wat cleo wrote, they recommend Simple or Follow Me (oily skin). but that is good for ladies. how bout guys?

so far, the best product i've used is Lancome. but it's very pricey. so i've switch to loreal. but the product for oily to very oily no longer in market. the new one not so effective in removing oil.

now i tried neutrogena but not tat good either. biore is not bad, but the fragrance is too strong.

any recommendation?

You may not like this suggestion, but have you tried plain old bathing soap?

i think skin products doesn't differ between gender. Its just a marketing segmentation. So dont feel neglected to use so called 'female' segmented skin products bro.

that one is not good for ur skin...it is rough and make ur skin...rough lah...bad bad

Johnson & Johnson Clean & Clear Daily Facial Wash. Cheap and good. Works for me. Dunno about you.

clean & clear is good for OILY face. if ur not concern bout other stuffs though

bath soap is a big no-no because:

- it strips all the oil from your face, thus making the gland produce more oil. so your face got oilier.
- bath soap is alkaline, while the face pH value is acidic. important if you want to have healthy skin.

biore and clean & clear caused me to have breakouts.

based on personal experience i would suggest cetaphil. it's not available everywhere, you can only get it at guardian pharmacy, but it works. the downside to it is that at rm31 a tube, it's quite pricey.

now im using eversoft cleanser, cheap at rm13 and so far it works well (altho am thinking of switching) was using olay total effect cleanser a while back but was told that it contains alcohol that actually dries up skin and thus makes your skin much more oilier, which is true from experience.

some advice from my female friends that i (try to) follow: if you find a product that works for you, keep using it even if it's expensive. switching brand usually just wreaks havoc on your face.

haha, i used to use Lancome rm67. very expensive leh..usable lah back in those glory days...
but now, all so expensive laridi....have to use cheaper products laio..

personally i dont care if it's girl products or guys one...as long as it suite my face..but i prefer to ask guys opinion on this..because girls face sort of diff compare to guys one...

biore is good, but the smell too strong. i tried clean and clear also. but not tat gd to clear my oils. i tried nivea for men also, so-so again.

eversoft gd? olay totaly effect? erm, i dont dare to try because it was for dry-normal skin specialist mostly. so for us like have very oily skin, better avoid loh. cetaphil? issit gd? rm31 is ok to me compare to lancome. but effective boh?

i tried hazeline also. but got side effects. got rashes and pimples. so i stopped alridi. hehe btw, i think soap is abit dry lah..it's true it's effective to remove the oil, but bad for face.

any other gd recommendation?

I use Tea Tree Oil facial cleanser..

is tea tree oil gd for very oily skin?

Are you open to using medication instead? Accutane can be used to control oily skin also.

i'm using that also...i really makes ur skin...not feeling oily...some other brands sometimes cannot feel oily or not oily...

I used to have a serious oliy skin problem when I was in M'sia, which resulted in a lot of acne. What worked for me was Neutrogena face wash. Give it a go.

u got oily skin, i got dry skin.
last time i got oily skin, now otherwise.
dry

i got dry & sensitive skin. as a result, my skin is very oily.
this is the most acne-prone skin, as i know

i m using sebamed product, good if ur oily skin is due to sensitive skin. it moisturize ur skin after wash.

try niveamen oil control facial wash... Not bad...

if you have lots of moolah, Obagi is the way. of course, Obagi is hardcore stuff, it peels your skin. but trust me, in 6 months, your skin would be "almost" flawless. If too flawless, especially guys, tak macho lar nanti.

Aiks...for the threadstarter ur face is oily...got pimples or acne? My face is oily and make my face gt pimple...so i try many facil foam and finally go for a skin specialist and it helps....by the way i still wanna ask if anyone gt suggestion on pimple cure facial foam, tat really efeective.

i used to have an excessively oily face. my face shines like a mirror every 4-5 hours if i don't rinse it with water. i changed my diet and im rid of it now. not sure about you guys though.

dry skin is more annoying than oily skin

I'm use Clinique now, and is much better to control the oil

I'm using Uriage products... mayb u can try tis products, quite okie for me...
But expensive... hehe

U hv to control ur diet also, dun always eat the fried food or spicy food... N take some vitamin or supplements...
