Oily skin Advice

[khillon]

I've always had really oily and sensitive skin. And I've tried so many things my skin still gets oily and melts away my make up. Any suggestions for some products I could try?

Not a specific item, but I’ve had luck in oilier areas this (barely) past summer using light skin treatments with niacinamide. It helps regulate sebum and I saw a noticeable difference in breakthrough throughout the day. (The product I used was CosRx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid. With other light, fitting products like a gel moisturizer and primer, either of which could be mattifying, you might have some luck. Typically you’ll want to look for 4%+ niacinamide.)

I suggest using the First Aid cleanser and moisturizer. I also have oily and sensitive skin since late teens/ early twenties. I spent years trying to address my oily skin problems but that just led to bad acne. Years later something just clicked and  I started using creamy cleansers and moisturizer to help with the sensitive issues of my skin. I started using products marketed towards dry skin. Even though I had oily skin, these creamy (and sometimes thick) products helped to calm my skin. Now, I just experience the occasional acne and my skin is not oily. I recommend using the cleanser and moisturizer from First Aid. I also recommend using a hydrating sheet mask once a week to calm your skin. 

I hope you find what you’re looking for!

All the best,

D.

Same! I have had luck with the MUFE Matte Velvet+ foundation and the UD Velvet Medium. The powder doesn't seem to be any different if I mix it in or set my face instead, but overall works well. Aside from that, I picked up samples (and full sizes tomorrow) of the Fenty primer and foundation. I can't even explain how amazing the primer is. It's a little better when matched with the foundation (and the foundation is cheaper than MUFE) and I can work a 10 hour day without hardly any oil and no blotting. I've never experienced this in my adult life and I really suggest you check Fenty out. Also the match sticks are suited for oily skin which seems uncommon. (I've had issues with cream contour kits). Hope this helps!
