If you have used this moisturizer, I would love your opinion about the product. I have very oily skin and have tried everything under makeup (primer, no primer, moisturizer, no moisturizer, one without the other, etc.) I would like a moisturizer that actually hydrates my skin without making me so oily. I am acne prone, but I am not looking into the acne repairing lotion because the description doesn't really contain what I'm looking for.

Is this truly a balancing moisturizer? Is it oil-free and will it decently control my extremely oily skin?

I heard that it's best for people with oily skin to stick to oil-free moisturizers and makeup, which makes sense. I am kind of skeptical of it, however, because I've also heard that using oil on oily skin will make your skin produce less oil. I would think the first statement is easier to believe, but I'm not sure which is really best. Whenever I used oil, I felt like it made my skin much worse; like it would sit on my skin because it didn't want to be absorbed into it.

I get a pain sometimes on the right side of my upper back. It feels like it is under my shoulder blade or something and it hurts to take a deep breath. I can breathe through my nose, but when I get this pain, I don't seem to get enough oxygen that way, so I need to take deep breaths which just results in more pain. I have tried to massage it and lie on my other side, but nothing seems to help. It usually stays around for a few days before it goes away, but it almost always comes back. I haven't had it in a while, but it's back again now, and hurts badly. I don't think it's a torn muscle or anything, because I haven't really done anything that would cause that recently.

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yesterday, something happened on my laptop, which I am using now. Nearly all of my program icons have changed into Microsoft thumbnails, which only open as a picture in Microsoft Office. I would get a screen shot, but I can't even open Paint to save one in. Basically, none of my icons allow me to open the programs, but instead, open Microsoft office with a little thumbnail made by them.

I do not know what I did to make this happen, and I don't know how to fix it.

If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, everyone. I have been having this problem for quite a few years now. I have very oily skin, but it is also dry. I have to moisturizer before I do my makeup, or else my skin gets too dry. Even when I don't moisturizer, I get extremely oily, especially on my nose. My pores produce so much oil on my face that it's difficult to find a makeup that will stay on all day. I currently use Z-Pore over top of my moisturizer to hide my pores, but it doesn't stop the oil likes it claims to do so. I have tried Dermablend, which covered up my acne spots well, but after three hours, the makeup was smearing itself all over. It's like I was melting. Never again will I use that. I currently use a Josie Maran foundation with a Tarte powder over top, but I still get very very oily. I use oil sheets throughout the day, maybe 3 to 4 times or more. I've tried so many products, and my acne is starting to subside, but now it's the oil I have to worry about.

So, my question is, does anyone know about any good products for very oily skin?

Face wash or lotion to keep my oil under control? Better oil absorbing makeup? Possibly something to reduce pore size faster than anything else?

I'm not looking for anything too expensive, but something good enough that is decently priced.

I'm tired of these products that claim to be for oily skin, but do not live up to their reputation. When I think oily, I don't think, "I have barely any oil at all.", I think about the people like me, with extremely oily skin.

It's very frustrating when you can't even feel pretty because of pores.

I have searched everywhere for an answer and cannot seem to find it. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you!

I'm 14 and I am not sure how the my first period is supposed to look. I'm thin and a late bloomer but I am developing already....does it depend on your body to how your period will be?
