read the thread... it was just posted above you.

its the same products, no matter if you're outdoors or not. unless you're in a vampire and cant let any sunlight hit you, you need sunscreen. you can take out the serum/moisturizer part if you cant afford, but its recommended since benzoyl peroxide will dry out your skin. just use a cheaper basic one, like from Neutrogena.

scroll up and read, same EXACT products, for the 2nd time.

i have nothing for oil prevention. some sunscreens (biore) will help matte-tify your face (aka no make it look shiny). no you dont have to use the same brand.

Just get those oil blotting sheets from the pharmacy...either Gatsby or Clean and Clear. It's a cheap solution to an oily face. Just don't use it too often throughout the day.

As for moisturizers and other other products that control oil/shine, they are usually a hit and miss for me. I currently use Biotherm Homme T Pur toner and moisturizer to control oil/shine and it works to a certain extent for me. But doesn't work on my nose though as that area is really oily. Don't use too many mattifying products at once as it will really dry up your face.

Best way would to use those oil blotting sheets and determine how oily ur skin is. Another way is to wait 30mins after washing your face n see how tight your face is. The tighter your face is the less oily it is. I think most of us guys say we got oily skin but we actually have normal-combination type skin.

You r right, there is no way to keep the face completely oil free. Last time I was looking to maintain that "just after washing face" feel but it was impossible. I managed to do it to a certain extent with Biore sunscreen but it dried my face out.

U can use a serum just make sure the combo of serum and BP/Diacneal don't cancel each other out. For example, BP and vitamin c don't mix well.

It would be advisable to just use one at a time. OXY will always be more effective than t3 pimple gel.

Depends on the severity of the acne. T3 should help those small ones but for the bigger ones OXY would be more effective. My main complaint about T3 is that I doubt the concentration of tea tree oil is high enough to fight pimples. Facial washes don't do much for pimples so yeah u shud buy some kind of anti acne cream.

It's actually advisable to start with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide first then go to a higher concentration if it isn't effective. However if u can't find 2.5%(any brand will do) then u just get the 5% one.

yeah correct and use a light moisturizer after that to ensure your skin doesn't get too dry.

Oh ya I forget to mention that u gotta let the acne cream dry for 10-15 mins b4 applying moisturizer. Some of the acne cream will get wiped off but as long as u let it dry and adsorb into the skin, it should be alright.

definitely...its a billion dollar business

cheap or expensive doesn't matter as long as it works

My favourite men's BB - Face Shop Neo-Classic Homme is on a 2-for-1 offer now. Rumoured that they may discontinue or replace with a new line with whiteners, etc, yux. If you've tried it and like it, stock up.

Nearby was Body Shop. Tried their new unisex BB but it sux, pink and thick.

HOWEVER, tested their other BB stuff in the silver tubes, three shades. Sales girl squeezed out some of so-called the darkest one, and I was shocked that it came out with white lumps and clear liquid. Thought, oops their samples have gone stale. However, rubbed the messy drop a moment and it INSTANTLY changed colour! I've never seen another one like that.

Later in the evening my friend was amazed, said all my skin problems were undetectable! Price a bit stiff at Rm$64 for a small tube. Hoping for a promotion soon.

a number of reviews mention that the Hada Labo sunscreen is good but not so great for oily skin.. i haven't tried it personally. its around RM50 i think.

cant think of anything else as i usually buy sunscreen fr Shiseido.

whatever sunscreen she uses most important is making sure she uses a cleansing oil to remove it at night.
