Can a kind soul help me? After using a thin layer of MoM on my face in the morning, when I wash my face using a cleanser at night, will the layer like stop my salicylic acid cleanser's ability to unclog my pores and do its work etc? And after that I would put my spot treatment serum would it affect the serum acne-clearing ability too? Cuz I heard the layer of MoM stays on even after washing?
Hey...I don't think so. I'd just wash, then put on your regular treatment. I've never had this issue. Milk of Magnesia does come off when you wash with warm water and a washcloth.

A good add-on for oil control is taking zinc. Try taking 50 mgs of zinc gluconate (most bioavailable) and see if this helps. Many people with acne and chronic oily skin are also low in zinc.It's also great for calming inflammation and may even help your acne.

it increases DHT and testosterone leading to more sebum production from here [removed] and other links
have to rely on MoM now and will green tea help??
Hey sorry to hear that, for many it helps with oil control. BTW the person who created this article did still recommend zinc supplementation for acne. Not sure if green tea will help...it might! You'd have to research.

I use it most days whether I wear make up or not. I think it would've fine as long as you're not sensitive to it. Make sure to buy unflavored, not mint
