I've been on the regimen now for about two months I think and it is working very well, but I have a problem that I have noticed some others on the board have - oily skin. I use very little moisturizer. (For anybody who has the Eucerin skin renewal, I use only one squirt for my entire face). My skin never gets dry and I feel like if I use any more moisturizer, my face just gets that much oilier. I dont' know what to do. I am considering getting some sort of mattifier, I think neutrogena makes one, or using astringent, but I have heard that can irritate pores and result in more oil production.

 

If anybody has had this problem and has any ideas, please let me know.

When I was on the regimen, my face dried out, even if I put a palm-full (exaggeration, but you get the idea) of moisturizer on my face. *shrug*

Hmm, its pretty different for me guys. I use Oxy 5%/10% while I used to be on the regimen. My face dried out, oil production is minimal.

I am noticing this too, and I have been on the regimen for about a month. I am thinking because I am rubbing my skin instead of patting it like I did in the beginning. I will start patting it and see what happens.

Try CVS absorbent sheets to remove excess oil. Or look into vitamin D3. A lot of people with oily skin have had a reduction in oil.
