    Try something more natural. Skin gets greasy when you strip it of its natural oils by using harsh cleansers with alcohol content, because it produces more oil to over-compensate for the loss.

    Boots have a really good tea tree and witch hazel range - I use the foaming cleanser, the toner and the shine control moisturiser. Also, your skin will get used to certain products after a period of time and you'll find they don't work as well anymore, so change what you use every few months (same with shampoo!).

    Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

    It seems to work for me and I have sensitive/problem skin, I use it with my freederm gel.

    Also my teenage daughter who has very different skin to me, more dry, uses it and loves it.
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • The one thing that I have found worked brilliantly on my sensitive yet spot-plagued skin was Lush Fresh Farmacy - you use it a bit like a soap. They also do a moisturiser with the same active ingredients called Vanishing Cream.

    Simple's Oil Balancing products (face wash and scrub - I don't think they're that different to each other - face wipes and moisturiser) are very good as well.

    Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")
    Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")
