I noticed my skin got worse when I used Cetaphil, too.

I know Neutragena has a bad rep, but I use one of their liquid face soaps (not the amber stuff), I think it's called Healthy Skin? and my skin is much better now.

Yeah, Ceta tends to make me overproduce oil - I think that's the problem with that line. When you have oily skin, certain cleasers have a tendancy to strip your skin heavily, and then you overproduce oil (not really scientific reasoning here, just what I've noticed). I like Aveeno too.

I am a person with weird combo to oily skin. My skin appears to be smooth and reddish brown with freckles, but quickly becomes an oil slick (hard to keep make up on and I shine like the sun), and if I get the occasional pimple, it usually results in hyperpigmentation (dark spots). But the best product I have ever used was the Proactive line. I LOVE it. I am not kidding. This stuff has worked great in terms of controlling oil. They have the cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, but they also have a matte finisher that works very well. Once I moved, I stopped ordering Proactive, and my skin sort of suffered.

But if it's too much to order that, be sure that you try a cleanser with a scrub quality to it. It helps to clear away the extra skin cells that tend to stick to oily skin, and then follow that up with an oil free moisturizer (Oil of Olay oil free IMO is too oily still though).

Also there are other product lines that have anti shine matte finish creams, like Philosophy (that's a good one) and Neutrogena makes one that I have been using recently after I moisturize and before I put on any make up.

And powdering every couple of hours is good too, but because I have a reddish brown complexion that's hard to match even in a transleucent powder, I've been using oil absorbing sheets - they work very well throughout the day.
