many people dunno that oily face is due to your face too dry
and then it will stimulate the sebaceuous gland to product sebum to counter the dryness of skin

so u have to use moisturizer, especially when you are indoor in aircond place
u maybe wanna try one of those spray mist from faceshop n keep one small bottle in the bag
if ur skin too dry
u spray on your skin

because oil will bring u much problem later when it clog your pores, pimple, comedones

avoid soap-contaning products, use milk contaninig cleanser, those are hydrating stuff.. of coz again moistjrizer


supplement that reduce pimple? not that i know off but some things like fry food/ seafood/ proteins / chinese medications does cause pimples outbreak..

actually i use milk cleanser to clean my sunblock, good to remove things like that even BB cream which is super notorious to cause clogging/pimples.. then after that i use normal cleanser to properly clean it again..
i dont use cotton
if i use is with toner

so remember guys

milk cleanser --> normal cleanser --> toner --> serum (vit C/sk2/wathever which is more watery) --> moisturizer --> sunblock/BB cream

if you dont use sunblock/BBcream (which is basically a crime to your skin) u can skip milk cleanser or make up remover

btw my job involves dealing with facial products/skin care/treatment/aesthetic procedures.. so I will try to answer some stuff if i know..
always happy to share knowledge..

i dont have any specific preference to one brand
i tend to mix around much.. depending what sales is on LOL

But im alternating between keihls age correcting facial fuel/ kielhs ultimate white moisturizer and sharashara homme vital lotion (very oily looking after apply, i only use at night)
if im hardworking i bring thefaceshop's cooling mist (spray form) for add on later, leave in my working bag

if u think ur face is oily after u apply the thing.. maybe apply too much? or like i mention u need to reapply depending ur enviroment.
product like sunscreen and some type of moisturized can cause oily looking face (so i use at night only)


I suggest to go to skincare shop to ask the girl what are suitable for your face
because buying in pharmacy, maybe be cheaper but cheap is what u get also..

i usually suggest faceshop for beginners and later kiehls lo (one of my favourite) but the price is higher
other brands im using some tonymoly/elianto/etude house (but these are considered low end already)
start small lo
