I have thought of stopping moisturizers and everything that could contribute and accelerate oil secretion. When I think of it mine is not that bad. It’s considered as a normal secretion as my face is also dry at the same time. I do notice certain makeup makes my face oilier. Face illuminator for example but couldn’t stop using cause I love the glowing effect lol

I’ll browse your bloggie for related post 🙂

it was a tough battle for so many years. During the time when it was bad, about a week after my facial, my face would have such hyper driven sebum secretion that my black/white heads would be all over every single microscopically identifiable orifice. And when extracted with comedones extractor, you can see the things that come from the deep end are dark green in colour whilst the top is black! It’s just baffling cause, how can it be soooo dark green underneath, sooo oxidized when I just extract the black white heads 2 days ago?????

For almost a year I went on without moisturizer, no sunscreen even. Just strict regime of pure “OIL CONTROL”. Cause the sebum secretion was too excessive, with moisturiser I would just futher contribute more emollients into the glands and from there it builds up black/white heads again.

A lot of people also argue that your face is crying out for more sebum secretion because you are not moisturizing enough. Well, I guess, these people, really don’t know what a true, porey, dull skin is actually like. These ppl say “oh u blot ur face too much, make ur face secrete more oil..” Again, I just don’t think they TRULY understand, the freakin OIL, is all across my FACE, across the FOREHEAD, I can slide my blotting papers through my TEMPLES, not to mention cheeks nose, and even neck!
I look in the mirror it feels like my makeup is floating on top of a layer of oil!

Long Story, I may have some success stories in my blog. You may explore around or When I remember which post it is, I’ll come share it with ya!

We’ll keep in touch with this story. Love sharing experiences! Thanks for your reply and listening to my verbal diarrhea! 🙂

Which product you used to battle with enlarged pores? I couldn’t find anything that works.

I really feel you. Myself, have been battling with enlarged pores my whole life. Combi-oily Skin. Sebum secretion was in a hyperdrive mode that it consumes my clean n clear blotters in 3 weeks.

But thank goodness, now my pores are not dilated, but enclosed, visible nonethless. Dull skin is no longer a problem.

Will definitely follow your page now. Thank you for … I can now identify another one as one of… me.

Peace.
