"The type of cleanser that you also use matters a lot because you need cleansers that are actually targeted at people with your skin type. My favorite cleanser I tell you guys all the time is the La Roche-Posay Effaclar cleanser. That cleanser was made for people with acne prone skin. It's literally the best that I have used. It is perfect in my opinion. I use it after I have used the Effaclar micellar water now. I think that these two were made for each other, these two products."

"When I ran out of my usual benzoyl peroxide gel, I switched to this and it did nothing for my acne. My issue with CeraVe in general is that their products contain a lot of ceramides, and the humectants and other ingredients they use can make it so the product doesn't give you the results you need. I bought about four of these because I couldn't believe benzoyl peroxide wasn't working, but the formulation is why it wasn't working. I would not recommend this and don't think it was worth it."

"This product went so viral in 2024, everybody and their mamas were talking about it, and it was targeted at people with oily skin who are prone to breakouts. My skin was acting up when I gave it a try, and it broke me out. I used it for about two weeks and it left my skin worse than it met it. Instead of removing things from my pores, it put things into mine, and I got a lot of clogged pores and closed comedones in places I typically don't break out. This product has worked for some people, so I don't think everybody's lying, but if you're acne-prone I'd consider micellar water first before jumping on oil cleansers."

"This is the cleanser that I use. I've talked about this cleanser to you guys so many times. It's the La Roche-Posay Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser for oily skin. This will get rid of all the oil on your face. It will help combat breakouts. It will help prevent breakouts. I always have this cleanser, at least one jar somewhere in the house. And it's become a family thing now because it's not just me. My husband kind of has oily skin and we both use this. So I always get big bottles at any given time."

"I always just go grab this. It's always in the supermarket, you can always get it from retailers. It's fragrance-free, it's non-foaming, and designed for sensitive skin. Sometimes sensitive skin cleansers are too rich for oily skin girls, but this one strikes the right balance. It doesn't clog pores, it doesn't cause breakouts. When I say I used this between 2018 and 2019, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser was my cleanser. [...] If you've been hesitant to try this because it doesn't say 'for oily skin' on the packaging, don't worry, it works."

"I currently use Bioderma Sebium H2O for double cleansing. [...] It removes everything without the heavy greasy residue sometimes that you would get with micellar water. [...] The one for oily skin I would highly highly highly recommend. I always have it on my dressing table or in the area where I get ready or do my skincare in the morning. It works great. It gets the job done. It's not heavy on the skin. In addition to all of this, it's very gentle and effective and doesn't disrupt your skin."

"My favorite balm to actually use is the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm, the charcoal one is so good for people who have combination to oily skin. This will take your makeup off, it will dissolve everything, even the toughest type of eyeliner this thing will dissolve. I take my time and work this through or into my face, and once I'm done doing that I'm going to rinse it off with water."

"I got the big size in a particular shade and felt like my skin was a lot more greasy after using it. I tried mixing it with the Water Powder Serum like people recommended and even tried the universal colorless version, but it was the same thing: it made my skin more greasy and it clogged my pores. This product broke me out. I know it's a cult favorite and works for some people with oily skin, but if you're acne-prone you have to be very careful with it. If you want to try it, start with a small size before committing to a bigger one because it's not cheap."

"I go in with concealer and I use this to define my brows. I really, really love the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. It gives you time to blend, especially if you're a beginner and you're worried that your concealer might dry really quickly -- [...] it will give you time to apply precisely and then blend out. If you're not sure what shade to use for this, I recommend going about one to two shades lighter than your actual skin tone. I also apply a lighter shade of the same concealer in my inner corner, and on my outer corner I use the same shade I used to define my brows. Blending everything in creates a very nice gradient and gives my eyeshadow a very nice base."

"It is expensive. Every time I have to buy it again, I roll my eyes. But this fits into my smallest clutch purses. [...] It works. It's not cheap, but then the shape of it is so perfect. If you're someone who does not like to carry heavy things around, if you're also someone who is concerned about managing space when it comes to things like this, this is so good. I just wish that it was a bit cheaper."

"I keep repurchasing it largely because of nostalgia [...] and I used to use this back in secondary school. I think that it is so good. One thing I like about Irish Spring is the fresh fragrance that you get with it. It smells like heavenly in my opinion. It smells really good. And if you're someone who is looking for something to cleanse the body and also have a very nice fragrance linger afterwards, then consider Irish Spring."

"This is the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Oil, this one is very very popular. However, it is more [...] lightweight and it has a very nice scent. [...] If you're going out and you want to oil your chest and oil your arms and your legs, this is a very very good oil to use. [...] It will give you that shine and the sheen that you're after, it will condition your body, give you that glow that you want, but it will not feel greasy and sit on your skin. The weather has been a bit hot, so when I'm telling you guys that I'm enjoying this irrespective of the fact that the weather is hot, believe me, I really really love it."

"I'm going in with my ride or die, my Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation. If you have oily skin most of the time like I do, you already are aware that a lot of the barely there skin tints, a lot of the time, they kind of make us look very greasy as it wears over time. So if you have a foundation that you love, just use it. This is my Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation. I really, really love it. It has medium to full coverage. This particular foundation, the undertone is perfect. My shade is peanut butter cup."

"I like to finish it up with the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Sunscreen SPF 60, and this is because whether or not you're going outside, or even if you just get a little bit of sunlight sitting close to windows, whatever, you need sunscreen regardless. This one is [...] very, very popular as well, but very, very good, most importantly because this does not break me out and it's invisible. It's not something that, you know, some of these sunscreens leave a white cast, and if you're not careful, if you apply sunscreen before you start doing your makeup you can actually change the color of your complexion products. This one does not do that."

"I personally love the one from The Ordinary, their 7% glycolic acid, their exfoliating toner. When I initially started using this product, I would use it as a toner for my face to get rid of like dead skin cells. But this product is such a powerhouse, guys. And I don't think that I'll stop recommending it anytime soon. So I use this on my face sometimes and I remember like I told you guys already that I had bumps on my chest. I used this product and it got rid of all those bumps. Now one part of the body where I think that people have spoken about this before, but just in case you've not heard, this is a very good product to use on your immediate underarms because if you use deodorant and you're just very active, we tend to actually accumulate dead skin cells in that area."

"I haven't received the Pixi Glow Tonic in a while, but this is gorgeous. [...] I knew it, [...] this is the iconic product, this is the toner of all toners, it's amazing. Once I am out of my current toner, [...] I'm going back to this. [...] As far as glycolic acid toners go, this one is really great. [...] This is one of the best glycolic acid toners in the world, it is very very popular for a reason. So I'm going back to using this once I'm out of my current toner."

"For this I didn't really do anything fancy. I'll just say keep that area moisturized, like use Vaseline. [...] If you have a hyperactive scar [...] where you felt like the scar was overhealing and it wasn't flattening as quickly as you should, then maybe you should go and see a doctor for that. [...] But for me, one thing I felt like helped me is just making sure that it wasn't dry. When I kept it moisturized, before you know it, it just healed and it flattened."

"If you're interested in trying really new things or you're interested in a perfume that you've not quite smelled anything like it, like ever probably, you should consider Amouage Guidance. I use it once in a while and every time I use it, there's always like you smell so different. One of the notes that you get with this is incense and I remember, I know what incense smells like, but for me the only place I'll smell incense is in church and I remember the first time that I smelled this I was like what is this, and I never knew that incense could be in something I smell as good as it does outside of how I know incense to smell. This is so different, there's something like almost mystical about this, like it's crazy. There's just two types of people for this like you can stand it or you absolutely love it or you hate it, but it's a very very good perfume."

"When it comes to body mists, I really love the Sol de Janeiro ones. I've used quite a few of them, but out of all of them, this is my favorite. And this is the Cherrosa 59. I got a sample kit that had all the popular ones. And this smells really good. So this is for like days when you're not going anywhere, like you've done your body care, you've come out of the shower, or even nighttime, you've done everything, but you want to smell like nice without going in with perfume."
