Common Questions and Answers about Acne solutions for oily skin

Avatar f tn Hi. Acne is no longer just a teenage problem. Here in the Uk the average age for acne has now risen above 30 for the first time. Avoid using heavy moisturisers as this can add to the problem. The best over the counter remedy for spots is, in my experience, Freederm. However, prescription medications are often much more beneficial. Talk to your doctor to see if oral or topical antibiotics could help you, and also ask about hormonal solutions.

6706619 tn?1391316843 its not a home remedy, but I had this same problem and tried so so much everything either made my skin too oily or too dry but I bought clean and clear advantage acne control, took the oily skin away, cleared my acne and made my skin super soft all the time!
Avatar m tn m dark in complexion and my skin tone is not even due to this acne espically my forehead. The dermatologist said my skin is too oily. I;m on my fourth day using the products. Has anyone ever used these products and could they cure my acne for good?
Avatar f tn I've never had acne but since I've been pregnant my face has been breaking out left & right. I wash my face every morning & every night as well with a face scrub from clinic & nothing is working.
Avatar f tn i have extremely oily skin and i think its because i use my acne medications such as differin and duac but even though i wash my face 3 times a daii it is still oily and its worse during parties because i cant wash my face then..? wat should i doo..any herbal remedies as well?
Avatar n tn rather then an oily face which is a breeding ground for dirt. powder dries up the face and pores. it really works for me!
Avatar f tn Ive never had greasy hair nor oily skin or acne when I was a teenager or pregnant except with my first girl. I dont know what to use. My face is sensitive already so I use minimal product. I also usually have beautiful natural skin so I dont use makeup except a little bronze. If anyone has any home remedies or any similar issues, please respond back. My mom said it will go away at some point in my pregnancy. I pray. I feel so ugly and gross with oily skin and greasy hair. Thanks ladies.
5931867 tn?1397526593 I have an amazing skin scrub recipe ladies!!! Ive never had but one or two pimples on my nose or chin.. always had great skin.. thanks two double hormones for these two boys i now have what u do.. tiny bumps on my forehead and nose and backne! Yuuuck! Ok so take about half a cup of regular or brown sugar and add in fresh lemon juice until you create a paste, make it thick paste too so u only need a little lemon juice.
Avatar f tn I wash my face alot. I have been so oily its ridiculous I cant stand it. Its the hormones.
Avatar f tn I have acne on my for head which I've never had acne before and my skin is dry and I drink a lot of fluids everyday. Is this normal?
2055843 tn?1332427915 Me again (and thank you so much to the people who've answered my questions ^^). Since 13, I've suffered from acne (who hasn't?). However, it's been over ten years, and I'm desperate for some solutions. It's not terrible, but the periodic sores are really taking hits on my esteem in the workplace and ability to function with other people. Another problem is my sensitive skin, especially after a shower, where I have to rub with cool water to soothe the extreme dryness.
Avatar f tn There is no one right answer for everyone. Tips for dry skin won't help oily skin, and vice versa. Is there a specific issue you are trying to address with your skin care routine?
20873371 tn?1556032506 I'd like to know if the derivatives of coconut oil are okay for acne prone skin, if coconut oil itself is highly comedogenic. I have really oily skin aside from the very edges of my jaw. Would anyone happen to know?
554628 tn?1362777919 I am the same way, same problem areas. I've heard other ladies say Proactiv is not safe. I know it works wonders and I would be so happy if I could use it. I'm just going to the store and going to look through all the acne solutions and whichever doesn't have the Salicylic Acid I'm going to buy it up. My problem is I don't know what other ingredients I'm supposed to watch out for. Guess I'm going to have to google... Good luck!
Avatar n tn For the next two years my forehead continued to have very dry, dead looking skin on it and my skin had moderate-severe acne. I am now out of college and over the past year, I tried using an exfoliating cleanser along with duac gel and finacea as well as doxycycline as an antibiotic. These products worked well and have cleared up my skin considerably, but my skin remains red and goes from being very dry at times to being very oily at times.
Avatar m tn I don't know which topic to put this under because I have no idea what it is. I want to stress how important this is to resolve, as it's been affecting my life for a few years now. I am very self conscious and i have actually held back from going off to college just because of this. It affects my life tremendously. When I was about 16 years old I started to notice that my nose was getting oily. I always dabbed it off. It started to spread to my cheeks as time went on.
Avatar m tn Hello, I'm a 33 year old man, who has suffered from oily skin on my face since my teen years. I've tried many different cleansers. None of which seem to help. The more harsh cleansers obviously irritate my skin causing more redness and oil production. And the gentle cleansers such as cetaphil don't seem to improve anything. I was prescribed Atralin gel a few months ago. But this does not seem to improve my oil production.
Avatar m tn i am a teenager girl 17years old. i have acne problem and oily skin and acne scars i have tried everything and every treatment nothing happend.so how should i cure my acne and my acne scares and oily skin.
Avatar n tn t seem to work so far. For the oily skin, my dermatologist recommended stopping to moisturize because he thought that I was over-moisturizing and causing breakouts because of excess oil. Hope this helps. I hate acne... it's the plague.
Avatar f tn take ur beauty away!....im into the old wives tales even if its just for fun lol....but i really wish this acne would chill.out!
Avatar n tn hey i am 22 my skin can b both depending on the weather.. in hot weather my skin is oily .. in cold weather my skin is dry and sensetive.
Avatar f tn I too hate using lotion on my face, but they do make moisturizer for acne and oily skin. I use Clinique and I like it a lot. Also try an exfoliating ance cleanser to get the flakes off. Also I have found that when I dry my face with a clean wash rag every night it makes a difference as opposed to using the same one a few night in a row. Good luck! OH! And going to see a dermatologist is a really good idea. Especially this young because you wouldn't want her to scar.
