Desperately need a toner that controls oil all day!! - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I'm young and I've been putting up with the occasional monthly zit and taking very good care of my skin for the past 2 years. Recently my skin has become oilier, so I switched from Deep Clean to Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. It's helping a little, but my toner isn't working well. Halfway through the day my skin is shiny and oily again!!

At the beginning of the week I woke up with one zit, the next day two, and today I have 4! Never had so many at once. I'm worried about using too much stuff, I don't want to sport the red, salicylic acid ODd look. LOL But I don't want to not use enough to control the oil. They're going away because I've been taking care of it but I know now that it's time for a new toner...lol
Thanks!

I HIGHLY recommend Burt's Bees Garden Tomato toner. It's for oily skin.......it controls oil, redness, and has been helping control my breakouts. Sometimes it doesn't always keep all the oil away ALL day if I've had a long day, but then all you have to do is just use a blotter sheet or something.
This is by far the best toner I've used......I plan on actually sticking with it, and I tend to try tons of different products.

I personally could swear by Dermalogica products! I have always had an oily problem skin with breakouts. Then I had enough and went for a consultation with a beautician, She used Dermalogica products and recommended ones for my skin to buy. My skin has improved so much!
It's abit pricey but I'll stick with it from now on!

Thanks! I had actually considered the Burt's Bees tomato stuff, where do you get it other than their website?

Well, my college sells it, so that's where I get mine. However, when I'm not at college, the best place to get Burt's Bees products are definitely organic/health food stores. Some drugstores sell them, but organic places are your best bet.
