y-jay,spikedcylinder,browncocos,mad-max and everyone,great job!

gone through the whole thread and i,still,am confused.

i'm dark-skinned and have an oily skin (extremely oily).i was using cucumber facial wash (boots),aapri exfoliating scrub and clean and clear cleanser.then i visited a skin therapist,she uses natural ingredients.and she concocted this wash.it really reduced the oil on my face and made my complexion brighter but i started breaking out.used it for like 3weeks and the pimples just didn't go away.
now someone else has placed me on neutrogena transparent facial bar.the oil-secretion is now in 10-folds and the acne is still there.
pls,pls,pls ladies,what do i do?

i got mary kay timewise day solution SPF25 and night solution as gifts.scared of using them.should i proceed or not?
thanks for your help!

Neighbour mii, I actually checked her shop for olay regenerist, and there was a young lady (not the light skinned one whom i think is her daughter ) who attended to me, and she acted like she had never heard of such a thing. She was like  . Next time I checked, twas a guy who told me they didnt have it . But the good new is I HAVE MY OLAY REGENERIST, HOPE AND NEUTROGENA AGELESS INTENSIVE.

btwn clinique might seem costly but i realised a little goes a long way

hello there, of all the things i have tried& trust me when it comes to skincare products lets just say i ve had my fair share, if u ve oily skin just go & get clinique clarifying lotion but u ve to find the one that best suits u, u ll probably be using 3 or 4, the reason why i say u need to be sure is cos i started using the clarifying lotion 4 abt a mth now cos my face is oily, u start to see results in abt 3 days no joke, but the trick is its a bit harsh so it tends to dry out or cause rashes after a while, so wat u do is after the first few days, u probably dont need to use as much, i use mine once a week now, my face looks like a million bucks, its that good, u start for a couple of days & see how your skin reacts to it & take it from there,
[/quote
results in 3days?maan,thats something.i'll give it a try and post my findings here.thanks abunch!and any ideas about the mary-kay products?
