In "true" oily skin, is the face oily in the same degree all over? Or is it still more oily in the T zone area?
I ask this question because I consider my skin "very oily" and yet my cheeks are somehow less oily than the T-zone. But I know that I'm MUCH oilier than those people who say they have "combination skin", and I'd NEVER consider my skin merely as "combination." That's why I'm wondering if there are people who really have oily skin all over, with the same pore size in all areas on their face...

My skin is oily all over but more so in the T zone. I think almost everyone has more oil in their T zone. I don't think I have ever seen someone with shiny cheeks (not the part right near your nose, the rest of them)...
You should use Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets. They work even if you have to use them more often than most people.
HappyDawg, I feel for ya but using the soaps that you do could cause you to be more oily as they strip all the oils from your skin and that cause your skin to overproduce more oil. You want your pores to be open and clean not clogged with oil. It will not make you more greasy to have clean pores. MD Forte (get it from a dr or plastic surgeon, maybe a skin care pro) by MD Formulations makes face and body washes that control oil. Try it and lay off the harsh soaps.

I am oily all over, not just my face. I get oily behind my ears, my back, between my breasts, just about every where. This is the reason I shower 2 times every day.
I never wear makeup for more than a couple of hours because it will literally be running off my face. I wash my face about 4 times a day with dial or safeguard.
If I wash my face or anywhere on my body with the specialty skin cleansers with salicylic acid in it, oh my god, it unclogs my pores and I really get greasy. I have oil smeared all over my cell phone and my glasses. The only thing I have ever found which helps slow down the oil release is a sun tan. Say what you like about it, but the sun keeps me dried up. I will probably end up with some type of skin cancer one of these days.
On the positive side, my skin is lubricated so well, I look younger than I am.
I am not a gross person either, just really lubed up.

Yeap.. T zone seems the most oily area, though other part also oily. My skin, normally after 4 hours since washing, The T zone start begin oily, and later the other zone will begin oily, thus I believe, since T zone accumulate in longer time, it should be more oily.

The T Zone being nose and forehead, than yes mine are that way too. I use Ivory Soap, because it seems to strip the oil the best.

I don't have oily skin all over. Mostly my T zone. It's such a pain...
