You know, I never really liked any medications on my face because it irritates my skin, dries it out, makes it red and peel, and it enlargens my pores.
So, this is what I would suggest:
Use Cetaphil face cleanser twice a day. Wash your face in warm water with it (gently...don't scrub) when you wake up and before you go to bed.
In the mornings, I use Neutrogena Face Lotion. They have one for oil control, sensitive skin, etc. You can find them at CVS, Target, Food Lion, Ukrops, anywhere.
Then at night I apply a thin coat of Aloe Vera Gel (Buy an Organic and/or 99% natural one SAFE for human use!) and leave it on over night. Then I was it off in the morning.
Sometimes, instead of using the Aloe, I use face massage things I make at home (don't do massages everyday...have them at LEAST 2 days apart):
Mix any of the following ingredients (but be sensible and don't put all of them in at once):
Milk, honey, egg yolk, flour, cinnamon powder (use little!), nutmeg (use little!), dried basil (soaked in water), green tea (organic in warm water), banana, cucumber, oatmeal, and yeah...
Try to make the mixture so that it won't run off. It doesn't matter how much of each you put it. Just make sure it'll stay on your face.
But yeah, wash your face & put a warm towel over you face (to make your pores open) then apply the mixture. Leave it on for 10-15min (don't let it dry or taking it off will make you want to scream and leaving it on for too long will attract bacteria) and wash it off gently (and if you want with a soft wash cloth) with warm water. Then spalsh your face with cold water to close the pores.
Keep your hair pulled back, change your towels and pillow cases once every week or 2 to avoid having cloth with too much bacteria on it touch your face, and eat healthy.
Avoid stress, chemicals on your face, lack of sleep, poor diet, and the norms.
Exercsing may help but remember to wash your face as soon as possible. Drink lots of water, green tea, veggies, and fruits =)
Good luckkkk

I have the same challenge and the good news is, YES, antioxidants work. They are more than 100% good for you, they're like an astringent. I use regular green tea (that you drink) and I wipe my face with it in the morning, then rinse it off.
If your skin is red after you wash it, you're scrubbing too hard. You have to do that gentley, especially if you're using an exfoliant.
I just bought ProActive and it works AMAZING. your skin isn't red anymore, it smells good, looks good, feels good, and it comes with that green tea moisturizer, and that's my favorite part. It works GREAT. If you can't buy that, then just rinse your face with green tea after you wash, then rinse with water (:

I have the same problem with my skin drying out all the time. The face wash I use is Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser and then after I wash with that I use Cetaphil Moisturizing lotion. It works really well for me because it helps keep my face clear and it doesn't dry out my skin. Both these products can be found at target or walmart.
...also my sisters face gets really oily throughtout the day and she uses a simple blot powder to take away the greasy look but without having too much heavy make up on. she uses MAC powder but you can basically use any kind of powder, just as long as it is blot powder and doesn't have color to it.
Hope this helps :)
