Yep, I had the same problem my friend!. I'll give you some pointers!.
Soap has lye in it!. It is one of the few substances that can break up oil!. Next to gasoline and alcohol!. Use soap, skip out on those other ointments if they arent helping!.
Next !.!.!. make sure you have a clean pillow!. This is a major cause of break outs cause your face is on a dirty surface all night!. Make sure to wash your hair every night as hair contains oil and chemicals that will rub off on the pillow!.
Wash your face and hair with soap (omit hair conditioners) + clean your pillow and it should stop that madness going on ;)
Additionally !.!.!. ProActiv you should look into!. Its a better formulated acne removal system in my opinion!. You can also look into "Murad"!.
And what cured me of acne completely is "Accutane"!. This was doctor prescribed!.
But yeah you would think you're doing something right by using all those acne products and washing your face regularly!. But a few problems you may have missed and I bet it will get the job done !.!.!. is not putting chemicals in your hair + washing your hair with soap (to break up the oil) + washing your pillow cover!.
So in step by step this is what Ertai2 recommends !.!.!.
Try the el naturale product first!. 1) no hair conditioners !.!.!. 2) wash face AND hair with soap !.!.!. 3) clean and change your pillow case
If that product doesnt work try ProActiv!. It is the number 1 selling acne system in America!. I havent used it myself but I actually spoke to Jessica Simpson once I kid you not, asked her about it and she agreed lol!.
If that doesnt work, Doctor Ertai2 doesnt suggest using Murad as I dont want you to spend more time and money on acne products !.!.!. you can if you wish!. But I would have to send you to a dermatologist if you have health insurance!.
I hope I helped you some, good luck ===Www@Answer-Health@Com

try using morning burst oil absorbing sheets thruout the day to keep control of the oil and use water based lotions and cleansers, because some actually dry the skin out which causes more oil to produce!.
I wouldnt recommend any mask daily maybe do it everyother day even if its tempting!.
but im along with you i have really oily skin as well and i am 19 and i find those oil absorbing sheets thru out the day helps alot because it decreases the shine and then i get a powder foundation and put it on after that with a blush applicator!.
i hope this helps!! :) Www@Answer-Health@Com

wow!.!.!.it sounds like you need to SIMPLIFY your skin plan!. First, go to a dermatologist and ask them for any advice if you can afford it!. If not, I've heard really good things about proactive!. Also, I am a huge fan of natural tea tree oil before bed!. I use about 10 drops of oil to about two tbsp water!.
I would also suggest taking facial wipes with you and wash your face throughout the day especially after exercising!. Good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It may just be your age!.!.!.I went through that myself!. I still have sensitive skin in my mid 20s but I use Le Mer which is terribly expensive but worth it!.
Also, when I was younger I saw a derm!. who didn't help any!. Then I switched to an esthetician and she helped with doing chemical peels that burned and made my face really red for a few days, but after monthly treatments, I noticed improvement!. I did that for about a year!.
Good luck and sorry you have to go through that!. My bf is my age and still gets break outs in his T-zone from stress like me!.!.!.some people are just prone to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't over wash your face or use too many products (like the mask every night) because this can actually dry your skin out, causing it to produce more oil! Such a pain, I know!.
Something I use during the day to curb the oil is Clean and Clear oil absorbing sheets!. They help a lot to remove oil when you are out and about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

accutane! its a prescription med u can get at the dermatologist!.
usually a 5 month course of treatment and the acne stays gone forever :O
i wanna try this stuff too, but the side effects for long term are unknown, all i know is you have to go on birth control pills or swear to practive celabacy since the meds can hurt a baby!.
also you have to take monthly blood tests :[
but if all else fails accutane is a last resortWww@Answer-Health@Com

First, rinse the oil off your face!. Then, pop all your zits and wait til they stop bleeding or pussing!. Rinse your face again!. Then scrub them with toothpaste!. You have to do it a couple more times than you would like, but it works!. They will never come back, and you can eat whatever you want!. trust me!.!.!. that's what I did!. I've been zit free for a couple years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't use so many harsh cleansers on your face! Try to stick to one skin care brand!. I use stidex and it works amazingly, but it does dry out your face!. Useing soo many things can accully make your face produce more oils, in trying to defend its self from the harsh products!. Hope I helped and Good Luck :]Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would recommend going to a dermatologist that is in your insurance, they give you prescripted medicine that isn't advertised and heres the catch!.!. it actually works!Www@Answer-Health@Com
dont use too much on your skin!.!.it'll just aggravate it more
i think you should go to the doctor and ask for the acne prevention pill which is really commonly used and clears your skin really quickly!!

you might be washing your face too much, when skin is stripped of its natural oil, it will just produce more and more!. try using a moisturizer at night after the masque and astringentWww@Answer-Health@Com
