The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

I have oily skin in places 2 like on my 4head & round my nose...I use Dove sensative facial cleansing cloths. Then I rub on oil free facial moisturizer. Go to www.clinque.com and try there stay matte pressed powder[it a compact so U can take it anywhere] itz oil free and U can wear it over any foundation of ur choice. It helps with the shine and oil. I also wear superfit foundation from clinque and itz the best!! It stays put all day.
after U get home from school wash ur face again with another dove facial moisturizer OR be4 U go 2 bed. Hope this helps!

The best is the 3-in-1 TimeWise Cleanser for Oily skin by Mary Kay Cosmetics; followed by Oil Control Lotion.

Estee Lauder makes the best face wash, foundation, and powder for oily skin. Just go to a counter and they will be glad to show you.

use a facial wash that contains no oil, i would use aquanil or cetaphil then apply 10% benzoyl peroxide like Clearasil right after, also certain individuals have reactions to greasy food, if you notice you get oily food about 30 minutes after your eat a greasy food like pizza or fries then you belong to this group like me, you must eat less greasy and start eating more veggies,

I know they have special blotting papers that absorb oil and not make up. Too bad I forgot where they were. Look in any department story they should have them. Probably
