Cream for oil skin?

my face is oil skin type which has many pimples and spots

Cream for oil skin?
I use a wonderful cleanser called "Apricot Scrub" by St. Ives. Get the Medicated kind. It makes your skin squeaky clean, and it's a great exfoliator. Seriously. Try it. It's not expensive either, you can get it at the supermarket :-)
Reply:For Oily skin you would not want to use a cream. I would recommend using a gentle soap cleanser (minus salicylic acid- this is harsh and can cause flaking/peeling). Now as for the acne, a low grade benzoyl peroxide (%26lt;10%) should do the trick, it might take about 6 weeks to work, but it will eventually. As for short term, pimple treatment, use a gel (salicylic acid 2%, available Over the counter), this will dry them out and swelling/redness will be reduced within 2 days.





Oily skin should use a gel product to dry the skin.
Reply:I have cleared my acne with an all natural Aloe supplement, also changing my diet has decreased my naturally oily skin to now much less oily skin. It may be a problem with your digestive system or your hormones, both can be factors. It is unlikely that any cream or astringent will work as a cure, they all only work on the symptoms and may lead to drying the skin which your skin compensates for by making more oil. Believe me, I tried everything from over the counter to strong prescriptions but nothing worked for long and sometimes the side effects were much worse than the pimples. I take an internal mineral supplement that gives my body the tools it need to digest food and dispose of toxins in a healthy way. There are topical ointments and techniques too but they will only be a band-aid if you don't find the source of the problem. email me for more help.
Reply:Morning:


Use an astringent that doesn't contain any acne medicine to clean your skin. Apply Clean and Clear Oil Free Moisturizer with Salicylic Acid and during the day use Clear and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets to control oil. Avoid using benzoyl peroxide during the day if you are going to be exposed to sunlight.





Night:


Clean skin with astringent and apply benzoyl peroxide, avoid eye area and lips.





You'll notice the difference in just one day. At least it works for me.
