So I have always had oily skin buy lately it has been extra oily. I have tried a ton of different mattefying moisturizers, powders, and even face washes to help control the oil but nothing seems to be working!! And I hate using powder all over my face because they just make me break out. Any suggestions on what I can do to help control the oil? Even products to use at night when washing my face before bed?

Don't over wash your face. Twice a day is fine. I have oily skin and my dermatologist recommended cerve for a moisturizer, and cetaphil as a face wash.

I only wash my face with soap at night and just rinse with cold water in the mourning, and mya no I don't use normal moisturizers, they just make me too oily.

Find a moisturizer that has glycerin. Glycerin is the type of moisturizer that grabs moisture in the air or from within the skin to moisturize it while regular moisturizers use oils to "seal in" the water (moisture) and oil free moisturizers tend to just be water and once it evaporates the skin is back to being dehydrated and produces more of the oil
