I had the same problem. Do you moisturize your skin before you put on makeup? I know you might think oily skin doesn't need it, but trust me, it does. Just apply a good moisturizer. I use Philosophy Hope in a Jar. Then put on your makeup. It's better to use oil-free. Afterwards, apply a final translucent powder. I never get shiny anymore! I just tried this like a week ago too, lol. And yes, the Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets do work. You just press them up against your face and they take away the oil. That's for touch-ups. You might also want to try a mattifier. I heard that's good, too. Oh! And don't use products with too much alcohol in them! They'll dry out your face and stimulate the oil production even more! Don't over-wash your face either, it does the same thing. Lastly, drink plenty of water!

I have combination skin type too. So I learned that is better not over wash your face, just use mild cleanser for all skin types. Than use moisturizer, day and night. Put eye cream around orbital area especially at night as skin around eyes doesn't produce oil that protect it. If you use facial scrubs, just use it 2 or 1 time a week just to make sure you won't over cleanse you face.

Yes those work, also try an oil free foundation (try Clinique Super-Fit makeup)
Drink a lot of water and also if you steam your face that works too! You can get a face steamer for like $20 at Walmart or Target etc.
Good Luck!

Love your oily skin, when you get older your skin will be supple and younger looking.
I strongly suggest you throw away all the stuff you are using and start fresh with Bare Minerals. It will help absorb excess moisture and it actually helps make your skin better. It lets your pores breathe and helps minimize them, instead of clogging them.

its better for u to use a face cream. the sheets might cause friction on your skin and it will make the pimples worse
