Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that after many, many years of buying every product on the market to tackle my oily skin, I have at least found something which I am very impressed with. That said, I had to share: Jojoba oil.

I read it online at makeupalley that many users were applying a few drops to clean skin at night before bedtime, I too purchased this oil (from Holland and Barrett, not that cheap at around £7 per bottle, but it is worth it, and lasts a very long time). I've been applying this every night before I go to bed, and in the morning just use water on my face. During a normal day I would be a shine beacon before lunch time, my makeup would be non-existent. Not so now - this stuff seems to have 'cured' me. If anything I can say my clogged pores are not so clogged, and my skin actually looks in better condition. I must add that I have stopped using any moisturiser during the day or at night. The over oiliness is under control. I had a wedding the other week where I was bridesmaid. I was shine free until I went to bed that night, and didn't have to apply any more makeup or powder the whole day through. joy, oh joy.
HTH some others out there,
Love Mhairi

Thanks for the post. isnt it great when you finally find something that keeps the oil slick under control? I have used Ylang Ylang oil in the past for the same job and am now using the OCM. My night cream is a mix of shea butter and jojoba oil. I will look out the jojoba oil when next near a Health food Store
