Oil Control and Acne Care Products


 E-mailPrintSaveSave as PDF
Here are some very good products for those of you who need oil control and acne care.  I have no financial ties to any cosmetic or skin care product company, so my recommendations are unbiased.
MD Forte - Glycare Cleansing Gel

MD Forte

Glycare Cleansing Gel

$20.90

Oily/Acne/Budget Saver - This is a potent alpha hydroxy-based cleansing gel that fights acne.

Oily/Acne Prone - This benzoyl peroxide-based lotion helps to dry up oil, kill the bacteria that aggravate acne, and keep the pores from clogging. Use with a salicylic acid product for optimal results (like the Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion). Sometimes stains pillowcases - best used in the mornings.

Dermalogica - Oil Control Lotion with Salicylic Acid

Colorescience - SunForgettable Powder SPF 30 - All Clear

Colorescience

SunForgettable Powder SPF 30 - All Clear

$50.00

Daily/Water/Sports/Melasma - This is a great invention, and I use it all the time. It comes in a small tube, with a self-contained brush. You just shake the powder down, and brush on the powder. The powder stays on your skin, and the high zinc and titanium content gives you great UVA and UVB blocking.

Great for a humid climate (or oily skin), because it goes on dry and leaves no oily, greasy sheen. Expensive, but worth it. Layer it over a sunscreen lotion for maximum protection at altitude or in intense sun.

DDF - Ultralight Oil-free Moisturizing Dew

DDF

Ultralight Oil-free Moisturizing Dew

$38.00

Skin Medica - Retinol Complex

Skin Medica

Retinol Complex

$53.00

Retinol/Vitamin A Cousin - This retinol also has vitamin E in a light base that will not clog pores and is still compatible with moisturizers and sunscreens. Retinols are another type of repair cream that have science behind them. They build collagen and normalize sun damaged keratinocytes (skin cells). And if this product irritates your skin a little, try applying your moisturizer first, then wait 10-20 minutes, then apply this.

Dermalogica - Daily Microfoliant
