I have extremely oily skin and I haven't found anything that is good for me. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try? Makeup, skincare, anything!

We would need to know if you're acne prone, and what kind of goals you have for your skincare and makeup.

I do an activated charcoal mask every other day- mix one capsule with witch hazel and leave on for an hour. It has greatly changed my skin from just doing it over two months. My skin was oily too and now the oil is more balanced out. Also I would recommend using witch hazel as a toner, it's great for oil, and also find a good moisturizer! If your skin is oily it need moisture!

Nighttime I use my clarisonic with the cetaphil cleanser, put Aragon oil on my face and then go to sleep. In the morning I use an exfoliating face cleanser and then put moisturizer on

Tea tree oil has worked soooo well for me. I have oil sensitive/acne prone skin and it has helped clear my acne.

Unless you're allergic to aspirin, I recommend a salicylic acid product for anybody with oily/acne prone skin. Paula's Choice is the best brand for those products by far; they have quite a few formulas and a great return policy.

Sunscreen is pretty variable, but right now I'm using a mixture of Paula's Choice Resist SPF 30 and Neutrogena Pure and Free SPF 50, then Paula's Choice Calm SPF 30 for Dry Skin under my eyes/on my neck which tend to be dry.

My favorite cleanser for years has been the Olay Gentle Clean Foaming Cleanser (new name, basically the same formula).

A niacinamide booster can be great for oily skin as well. I've heard good things about the 10% booster from The Ordinary.
