16 Best Oil-Control ProductsWe're all for a healthy glow, but if your forehead shines like the top of the Chrysler Building, try these reader-approved oil-control products |
Here's an all-too familiar scenario: Every morning you cleanse, prime and mattify your skin to pore-less, oil-free perfection. But by the time you walk through your office doors, you need another dab of powder — and by midday, it looks like you've slathered a layer of Crisco on your face. What gives?
For those of us with oily skin, the problem is not the lack of products for oily skin — it's the fact that they never seem to work. The magical powder that mattifies everyone else's face slides off your T-zone in hours, and those oil-blotting sheets that work like a charm for your friend do diddly-squat for you. So, what's a glistening gal to do? Stay chained to your powder compact?
Not anymore. Our readers tested every skin-care and makeup product out there for oily skin, which determined this list of oil-control products that really work. No more wandering through the skin-care aisles, gambling on oil-control primers to find the ones that will finally mattify your lovely mug. These products for oily skin (including foundations, powders, cleansers and more) truly are the cream of the crop. The best part? Most of the oil-control products on this list are under 20 bucks. Now, let's count down to No. 1.

I appreciate the variety of type of products. I will definitely try some of these as my skin is so very oily.

I usually used peeling scrub and anti-acne soap to reduce oil.

My oily skin has always been a problem for putting anything on. Always gets oily looking fast or so bad that I have to wash my face off. Will be trying these products to see which ones work for me the best, thanks for the good reviews of products.
