Products for Oily, Dry & Flaky Acne Skin

Heya all

Thought I'd kick start the room by sharing what I personally use and find helpful in helping combat oily skin, dry and flaky skin that comes with having acne and/or using the acne medications etc etc

Clarins Gentle Exfoliating Refiner : I find this helps with the flaky skin, that's not quite dry but nonetheless still flaky looking; possibly from using acne medications
Clarins Instant Shine Control Gel : I find this helps with oil control and helping the skin look matt; though as mentioned before I find that my skin adapts to it eventually so I vary products to *trick* my skin (grins). It can be used over make up but I haven't tried that yet
Clarins Face Treatment Oil "Santal" : I find this useful in helping to reduce the appearance of slight redenning and also *dry/flaky* skin. I know it's oil and I'm very wary of using it too often for fear that it will cause me to break out; but thankfully I haven't and my skin looks and feels wonderfully fresh the next day ... this one is supposed to be for *dry* skin
Clarins Face Treatment Oil "Lotus" : This one is similar to the above and supposed to be for oily skin Helps normalise sebaceous secretions.
- Helps "tighten" the pores.
- Helps prevent moisture loss.
- Nourishes and leaves skin supple and soft. I have only used it a few times (again cos I'm really nervous that my skin will erupt, though again it hasn't thankfully and my skin seems to like it ... not sure if it tightens the pores ... perhaps ... I haven't used it enough yet to judge (By the way, Clarins products are herbal and/or made from plants which is why I like them! Expensive though :(
Clean and Clear blotting sheets : there are quite a few brands of these blotting sheets around. Effective !
Clean and Clear Invisible Shine Control Powder : haven't used this but just saw it ... anyone else tried it?
Corn Silk Loose Powder : I have used Corn Silk Loose Powder for years and it's been a life saver. The loose version doesn't cake, is translucent and it absorbs the oil for sure. Corn Silk do absorbing paper as well. I have used their foundation though hmm not so keen on it though having said that I haven't for years so perhaps it's changed; and they do a concealer as well. Reasonably priced and fairly cheap; easily affordable by teenagers and highly effective!

This is just a sample list that I use on a regular basis and would highly recommend, apart from of course the product above I said I hadn't tried yet ie Clean and Clear Invisible Shine Control Powder.

Take care
Just Me

p/s I'll add to the list as I go along as there are some I've missed etc .... haven't got time tonite! This is a starter!

I look forward to hearing what anyone else out there uses to help their oiliness, dry flaky acne skin ....

Rianne has been a great help in sharing ideas with me these past few years! She's on hols at the moment ... I'll ask her to drop by and say hello to the *oldies* here that remember here in the early days when this room first started back in 2000!! And if you remember, Rianne was on the Accutane Board ...!!
