You could try witch hazel as a toner, I've heard its help clean up acne on other ppl. I use it but only gt the occasional pimple. You could ask Traci she could be more specific:)

I use diluted apple cider vinegar & it works amazing controling my oily skin :) also looks for mattifying makeup! Maybe your using something that's not meant for oily skin & that's why it makes you so oily :o.

I'm not completely oily but I have a very oily tzone so combo skin...mild acne maybe a bit more when its that time of month...here's what I use for my skincare I use st Ives green tea cleanser combined with witch hazel as my toner and for those pesky break outs a little tea tree oil...now I definitely notice that when I skip the toner my face is much more oily...as far as makeup goes I use my beloved cover girl outlast 3in1 paired with the rimmel stay matte primer underneath nyx finishing powder and a setting spray...I've decided to switch to the loreal true match foundation since my cover girl is running out but I'm not sure how I like it yet...also boiling water and putting green tea tea bags in and letting it steep and then cool off is also another good natural toner...hope this helps a bit...the ladies are right you have to use makeup that meshes with your skin type well.

Jessica is right! For drugstore I'd say Covegirl 3 in 1 is the most amazing as far as controlling oil. That's my fav drugstore foundation! Make sure you use a good mattifying setting powder too! & if youcan a setting spray & that will help you control oil & make your makeup stay fresh a lot longer!

Are you moisturizing? Us oily skin girls need that too. Stick to a mattifying or light moisturizer. You mentioned toner which helps...thayers witch hazel is great & alcohol free.

It depends on what kind of makeup you put on I.e: foundation. With the foundation, when you have oily skin I would recommend water base foundation. Also, primer will make a huge different. I recommend Illamasqua hydra veil primer. It helps to keep the oil and base and at the same time hydra your skin because it's a water&seaweed base product. Illamasqua just came out another primer which is called matte veil. It will give you a total matte finish surface especially for oily skin. However, to use matte veil you have to watch out for the moisture of your skin. Good luck :D.
