i am not sure what w/e means but um... that might mean or anything else.. but umm.. try this cheap seabreeze... or neutrogena achohol-free anitseptic cleanser... very very good... and affordable.. also if u don't want to buy it .. use.... soap that has lime in it .. i dont mean bar soap i mean.. human-friendly dish soap.. that has lime contents in it... wash and it will take away oil easily

same here, my face is pretty oily and what i do is use this neutrogena face wash, i forget what its called but its orange and after you wash your face with that, you can use biore blotting sheets, they are usually around $6 and you just use them on your forehead and nose and then all the oil is gone, they work good too! good luck!

Eat less junk food. It really helps. Maybe one bag of chips a day and that's it.

Okay honey i used to go through the same problem all the time but i stop my zits with witch hazel it's like alchol but it's not you find in the pahrmacy for 2 to 3 dollars and a 1 dollar bag of cotton balls and after washing your face pat drey then poor some witch hazel on cotton ball and rubb on face evenly just make sure the bumps are'nt open but in 2 to 3 weeks your face should start healing up and the zits will soon start to disappear and stop coming and for the make up oil free after applying it,then use the sponge (that's used for make up and is red and you can buy in beauty supply store for a very low price and mind you it's dry to)to spread it on your face and notice it won't look so oily after all so goodluck it worked for me so it should work for you
your truley

Drinking lots of water really helped me clear my skin. But then I found out I'd been drinking about a third of the recommended intake anyway. You need about 8 glasses a day apparantly. And substituting beer is not a viable alternative. Truuuuust me.

I would suggest you buy a bottle of astringent. It Penetrates deep to fight acne & Controls oil for a shine free finish. Here's a website so you can see what the bottle looks like, you can go to wal-mart and pick up a off~brand for like 2 bucks...same difference. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Cant afford it or dont have the time or way to get there? Go into your bathroom and get a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol and that'll do the trick to.

The best way to keep the problem to a minimum is to wash your face with a perfume free cleanser morning and night, so that your skin is clean, but there is no need to scrub it too hard as this actually produces more oil. Choose oil free cosmetics and an oil free moisturiser, especially if they contain alpha-hydroxy acids as these remove dead cells in you skin and improve the appearance of it.

Giving your skin a treatment can also be good a couple of times a week, and for this you don't need to have expensive equipment. All you need is to place your face over a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head for a few minutes.

Certain vitamins can help to give you good skin so supplement your diet with a multivitamin as vitamins A, C, E and zinc are all helpful. Don't allow yourself too much sun exposure as the heat will cause more oil to be produced.

Avoid Vitamin E products, especially in a humid environment - it stimulates oil glands.

dont feel bad i have the same exact problem as you. i know how you feel. you just have to make sure that you use oil-free acne wash, like neutrogen and then use pergel-10. it really does help.
and dont eat alot of candy and soda that cause it... keep your hands away from your faec like when you are sittin in class dont put your hands by your face.. your hands have oil on them
