I only ask you to spend 2 minutes reading and replying to this thread. It is simply a method to gather some data to help me with my various experimentations.

If you are willing could you please provide 2 pieces of information in your reply:


Q1. What food item (if any) are you greater than 90% certain causes you to have an increase in oil production? I'm not looking for foods which give you acne that you assume is because it increased oil production. I'm only interested in oil-affecting foods whether they give you acne or not.

Q2. What is the approximate time it takes for this to come about? (e.g. within an hour, the next morning, 2 days later, etc..)


My answers:

1. Salmon and fish oil supplements (i.e. fish oil)

2. Noticeable in 2-5 hours


!!Please do not give answers which 'everyone knows' make you oily. Or something you are 'kind of' sure makes you oily. Only put it if it has caused you to become oilier without doubt. i.e. don't just say: 'greasy pizza and greasy french fries' just because you assume if they have grease on them as a food item then it must undisputedly mean grease will come out of your face. Also, please stick to a food item as opposed to a generalistic term such as: 'carbs.'!!

Thanks,
Listener

Biscuits (Oreo etc) Basically fast-acting carbs.

2-3 hours. Elevated oiliness can last up to a week.


Note:
It doesn't give me Acne. My acne is cured (see sig) but Oily skin persists.

Correlation
Fast carbs especially trigger it. Biscuits (Oreo etc) is one of the worst offenders.
High Fructose Corn Sypup is the worst agent.

Alleviation
Eat Evening Primose Oil Supps. I ate for about 3-4 days (2000mg a day). Oiliness reduced by 20-30%.
