hi guys,newbie here in this thread.
i'm looking for a better facial care products for oily skin.i still get pimples and sometimes the big ones,even though i'm nearing 30.lol.my face is quite oily,i sweat easily.during hot/warm days i'll get sweaty fast so i guess that plays another role on my oily face.

i was using Aiken Tea Tree facial wash for the past 4 years,and its good.but i do still getting pimples.then i tried the Nivea charcoal wash and the acno striker.doesnt really do much to reduce pimples,but the charcoal facial wash is nice,really is refreshing cause its menthol.

I'm ready to try a supposedly better brand like Kiehls and etc.but which one is better from your experience,between Kiehls and Aesop?I only know those two that looks "pro".

facial washes dun do much except clean d face. its prob on the face for less den a minute. its probably better u invest in a sunscreen that reduces shine.

i have d same prob as u. during the recent heatwave my face got so oily n sweaty like disco ball. only sunscreen n oil blotters helped reduce the shine.

try using facial products for normal skin instead. those oil control face washes, toners n etc dry out d face n make it even oilier.

i tried many many brands that claim to reduce oiliness n almost none worked.

Shiseido Men used to have this product called Anti Shine Refresher n it works damm well. 8 hrs of no shine when applied to my nose. but for some reason they decided to discontinue this product. i bought the last one in Malaysia LOL. ebay might still have. if u want it. used to sell for RM130 for 30ml.

I have used the Kiehls blue line for oily/pimple prone skin. it was horrible. face wash was drying, toner was worst n contains aluminium salts like those in antiperspirants so left a weird film on my face all day. moisturizer too light to soothe the dryness.

aesop i have only used the mask for oily skin...cant remember the name. it was nice to use but too pricey for small amount.

thanks for the info jonny4.beside the facial wash i do have a pimple cream, oxy10 and the aiken pimple treatment.but yeah they are used when the pimple is there.
too bad that shiseido is not available in msia anymore.
i'll do a survey at kiehls and aesop.i'll let you guys know. wink.gif

@twho:
yeah how do you use those items?

Loreal foam cleanser
Followed by Hada Labo Moisturizing Lotion
And then the Olay Oil control moisturizer.
IF there's pimples, i'll treat them with dalacin T and oxy cover.

like lotion and moisturizer.how often do you use it and when?before sleep at night?
