Recommendations For Skin Care Products That Don't Leave A Greasy/Shiny Finish? :(
Our take
I've been consistently doing my skin care routine ever since I first got into it back in November and while it has greatly helped my super duper oily skin, literally every skin care product that I've ever used (Except for the Cetaphil Cleanser I'll mention) has left the most annoying, greasy finish on my face and I feel so hopeless in finding something that *doesn't* do that 😭 For anyone wondering, I'm currently using the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner, Good Molecules Discoloration Correction Serum, and Good Molecules Lightweight Moisturizer and by the end of it, my skin looks pretty greasy. While it does work in getting rid of the blackheads on my nose, I wanna switch everything *but* the cleanser out for something else...But I'm scared to because it works *amazingly* for the blackheads on my nose (For some reason, it's not even TOUCHING the blackheads on my chin 🤣🤣). And if I keep using this for a few more months, they'll be gone!
But I feel like my skincare routine gets in the way of my makeup, considering that it ruins it and leads it to turn orange. I feel like with the insane rise in K-Beauty and the whole "glass skin" craze, the west has really taken this trend on and put the ingredients that make this look into literally *every* makeup and skincare product, and it's frustrating as someone with oily skin who prefers a more matte finish 🫤 Any suggestions for skin care products that will help me achieve that finish, even if I *don't* wear makeup? When I get done with doing my skincare, the grease from the products can make it extremely difficult to distinguish it from my own natural oils 😫

- Skincare struggle advice and how to reduce poreHiiii! I’m 21F and I have very combination-to-oily skin. Since it’s summer, it gets worse — I need 2–3 blotting sheets just to control the oil, and I always use each sheet only once. My skincare routine includes a cream acne cleanser, RL Dokdo toner, Skin1004 brightening serum, and a moisturizer. At night, I use a Meditherapy retinol 3 times a week instead of the serum. My pores don’t seem to be improving, and my skin often looks dull. I don’t really struggle with acne—just 3–4 pimples a month—but I do have a habit of picking at blackheads and whiteheads I can’t resist. My whiteheads also seem to appear almost overnight, even though I don’t wear makeup. I’ve realized I’m not using any exfoliator, so even after cleansing my skin still feels oily and not fully clean. If anyone has similar skin or has dealt with this before, I’d really appreciate feedbacks or any product for managing oiliness, reducing blackheads, and improving the appearance of pores. Pls pls pls help a girl out! submitted by /u/Puzzled_Classroom743 [link] [comments]
- skin care help!!hiya divas! i'm a 23 year old who is struggling to find the right skin-care routine. i have dry skin and fairly large pores. i'm prone to acne breakouts as well, though it isn't bad enough for me to use acne products just a couple here and there. i'm currently using Cerave face wash and moisturizer, along with The Ordinary niacinamide serum, plus a hydrating toner and using a glycolic acid toner twice a week. my skin is better, but the pores and a few wrinkles around my eyes are bothering me really badly. any suggestions for a glass skin look? bonus for anyone who can give me a good hydrating primer that's cheap, my makeup is always cakey i swear submitted by /u/CurrentAggressive466 [link] [comments]
- Makeup always looks a little "cakey"Hi everyone! I've been on the hunt to find products that don't make my face look cakey after a couple of hours of wear. The routine I've found that has made me look the least cakey is: - Moisturizer: La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer - Sunscreen: Beauty of Joseon - Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics - Primer: NYX Face Glue - Foundation: LAWLESS Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Foundation - Powder: Innisfree Translucent Mineral Powder - Setting Spray: Morphe Continuous Setting Mist It looks good for the most part and it's the most transfer-proof I've tried but it still isn't perfect. What can I do to change that? Does anyone's makeup ever truly look seamless? lol I believe these are all water-based products. I've also started incorporating the Ordinary 5% lactic acid once a week to hopefully exfoliate a little but is there anything else I can do? (My skincare routine is usually just Youth To The People cleanser and moisturizer) submitted by /u/SliceSuspicious8182 [link] [comments]
- Skincare AdviceHello! I have oily skin and I’m very prone to blackheads and whiteheads. My main concern is my pores, they look super visible (I know it’s normal, but sometimes it can still be really bothersome 😭). Even when I wear skin tint or makeup, they’re still noticeable. I’m currently using COSRX Salicylic Acid Pore Cleanser, Skinlab Tomato Toner, and Moisturizer, but I’m not really seeing any improvement with my pores. I’m not acne-prone (thankfully), so my main issues are really oiliness and pore appearance. Do you have any product recommendations or routine tips that worked for you in minimizing pores and controlling oil? I’m also thinking of trying retinol, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary for my concerns or if it might be too much. Do you think it would help, or should I focus on other product first? Any advice or experiences would really help. Thank you so much in advance!! 🤍 submitted by /u/bananabore [link] [comments]
