Oil Control and Acne Skincare Products
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. And as with every product on SkinTour.com, I have personally tested and used every product I recommend. Also, don't forget to check out my in-depth article on acne which reviews what causes acne, a review of acne treatments available, when to go see a dermatologist, and how I choose the products below which I feel are the best over-the-counter (ie non prescription) options to help control your acne or oil:

Oily/Acne Prone Skin - Men and anyone with oily or acne prone skin love this product. Very light, no oil, and still hydrating. What’s not to like!!! One of the best moisturizers on the market for oily skin, in my opinion. Good for use with a Vitamin C serum, and can be used under another moisturizer or sunscreen.

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.

Colorescience
SunForgettable Powder SPF 30 - All Clear
$49.50
Learn more or buy now at our partner SkinCareRx.com

|
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.

This light, nongreasy lotion helps keep the skin smooth and to reverse sun damage by building collagen and speeding natural exfoliation. Use a small amount over entire face. Good choice for teens to early 30s. Budget saver.
