Answer 1

That probably isn't the best choice for your skin. That's not to say that people with oily skin shouldn't use moisturizer - you still need it, because if your skin starts to get dry, it produces more oil.

If you want to avoid pimples, try washing your face morning and night with a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil. Apply a product that contains a low dose (2.5%) of benzoyl peroxide - put it all over your face, not just on the pimples. This is for prevention, not treatment. Finally, use a light, oil free moisturizer.

I use the three step Proactiv products, and have been for six year or more. It works well for many people - check out their website and give it a try. You can order a 30 day trial for $20, and if you don't like it you can get your money back. The 3 piece system costs about $45 every two months. They ship it directly to you and bill you or charge your credit card automatically.

I think a mosturizer will just create a problem, since it adds moisture to your skin making it oily. I use an awesome product called Noxema. It's easily found it grocer stores, like HEB, or even Walmart and Walgreens. It is a blue jar and this stuff works. I have used it since I was13 and my face is smooth and pimple free. It does tingle a little when you apply it,but that's becuase it's working. Then wash it off and your face feels so refreshing clean. Or you can dab it at night on your pimples, then wash it off in the morning. The good thins is that you wouldn't need several products and steps, this it it! Best part of all? It's cheap! Look for the Deep cleansing cream jar in Original.

Answer 3

The best thing to use is by Olay...refreshing toner/astringent. Just put some on a cotten ball and wipe your face and neck with it. It will help to keep the pores clean, then follow up with your moisturizer. I have been using it for several months and really like the results.

Answer 4

You should try the Olay Oil Free Sensitive Skin moisturizer. That should help.

Answer 5

You're a guy and uses Olay. There is a similar to Olay product which is generally for men. Try Clarins Essential. It is good becaus it lifts you're face to have it toned, removes blackheads, cleans clogged pores and smoothens rough skin..

Answer 6

No, don't do it! It will probably give you more pimples. Keep your skin clean, but don't over-scrub because scrubbing stimulates the oil glands. Try using pimple cream. Mary Kay makes a great one, but if a girl friend or your mom doesn't know a Mary Kay salesperson, try getting pimple cream at the store. Good luck.

Answer 7

i think that if it is a moisterizer it will moiserize. u should also get a cleanzer to then apply the moisterizer after that is done. this way it will help ur skin but also clean up the pimples and prevent new ones

Answer 8

What will really actually help is mouth wash. Get the mint flavored one. What you do is get a wet paper towel. Put the mouth wash on it and rub it o your face. It really works, believe me or not, it works for me and its cheap. Hope this helped.

Answer 9

no, dont put anything with oil on your face. it will clog your pores. use an oil-free soap with Salicylic acid. neutrogena makes a good one. its orange. you can also get a cheap grocery store brand in the same section usually

Answer 10

to prevent pimples and oily skin use sea breeze astringent
Moisturizer is for dry skin
