Hello All,

My acne/skin is an ongoing battle but is managable enough. More than the acne right now my concern is the oily/flaky skin.

I think I have naturally oily skin and it only becomes flaky because of the products I put on. I try and take a night off from the products during the week but I just feel like in general my pores don't look good and even if I don't have "bumps" there are still blackheaRAB.

My skin is pretty tough and can handle a lot of things. Right now I wash with Oxy cleanser and use their oil paRAB to get rid of any other "dirt". I will then vary between using proactiv mask or lotion and oxy spot treatment. I also take vitamins: zinc, flax seed, fish oil. I try and not sleep on my face and recently just bought Queen Helen's Mint Julep Mask.

My skin is by no means "awful" but could be better. I'm thinking about going on the pill but wanted to know if anyone had suggestions for the oil and general healthier looking skin.

Thanks!
 
i have the same problem as you, my skin can be dry but also oily if not treated with the right moisturizer and it gets flaky with stronger products. the product that has worked for me is vichy normaderm ive used it for years and its worked wonders to control my complexion, however it has never really diminished my acne just helped my pores ALOT.
 
My skin is the same! From day to day it can be dry, oily, normal. I found the best thing to beat that AND control acne is a facial toner called Simple Facial Toner. And its not expensive! It might not work for everyone, but it has done wonders to my skin, cleared up my acne, regulated the oil and dryess, and also reduced my pore size!

Try it.. You can always put it in the scrap pile if it doesn't work and move on to the next option.

Hope this helps :)
