I have extremely oily skin and acne prone. So all my products have to be oil free, non comedogenic, and for sensitive skin.

I’ve tried several mattifier’s at sephora and the best one is peter thomas roth mattifying gel ($35). Its a small bottle and the gel is thick, so a little goes a loooong way, My bottle lasts at least 3 months. Just take a LITTLE and rub it in your fingers for 3 seconds to warm it up, then press it in your oily areas. It instantly mattifies, makes you pores much smaller and lasts most of the day.

Best oil blotting sheets are from Shiseido ($18). I’ve tried clean and clear for years but i used at least 4 sheets at a time. But i only need to use one with Shiseido because its lightly powdered with oil absorbing clay powders. Goes well over makeup, no white residue at all, its perfect. Ill never switch blotting shets!

Hi karen , I am 23 .my skin is super oily, & when I sit in AC room I get more sweat & oiliness on my face comparatively. I’ve consulted to the doctor he said it is due to hormonal changes. he has given some tablets but are of no use.

I´ve a problem: oily and dehydrated skin (is different to combination skin type), because the dehydration and the oil is in my whole face, so I started to search and I found The Korres Yoghurt Regimen at Sephora and it really works! Now my skin feels and looks better.

I´ve tried everything and only that regimen help me. I found another brands but they are very expensive for me and this is more affordable.

Hi Bravadora,

I haven’t tried Mario Badescu — I’ve wanted to but just haven’t gotten around to it. I have a friend who swears by the drying lotion.

Isn’t the LM Tinted Moisturizer the best? Do you use the oil-free Primer as well?
