How to control oily skin for the entire day?

I have products that control oil temporarily. I was wondering (and hoping) if there are any products that control oil on the skin for the entire day, if not at least part of the day. I have dermadoctor tease zone oil control gel and it works wonderfully for a couple hours, but then my skin feels oily again. Is there anything (gels, creams, masks, makeup) that controls oil for more than a couple hours??

Powder bases are definately the way to go for keeping oil at bay for more than just a couple of hours. I've also tried the Dermadoctor Tease Zone and it did the same thing - felt great for a little while, then my face was an oil-slick again! Since I have exceptionally oily skin and have gotten tired of using those silly oil-blotting papers all day long, here is the regimine I now use. This keeps me oil free for a wonderful 4-6 hours. And then, even when oil does start to break through, it's not very much.


First, wash your face with a good scrub containing Salicylic Acid. I like Acne Free 24/7 Foaming Wash, found in drug stores for about 7 bucks. If you need to exfoliate, use an exfoliating body glove - also found at drugstores for about 3 bucks. Dry your face and allow it to air dry for a minute or so before applying an oil absorbing powder. I use an excellent one with a Kaolin Clay base called ';Mattify!'; This works as a primer to use before foundation and a makeup setting powder to use after foundation. Alternately, it can be used by itself to absorb oil if you don't wear foundaiton. I got this one on Ebay for about 8 bucks - just type ';Mattify'; into the search. I've never found any product that even comes close to keeping my skin matte as long as this one does. For even more oil absorbing power - after you've finished applying all of your makeup, use a makeup setting spray such as Model In A Bottle. This helps cosmetics like eyeliner, foundation %26amp; blush stay put on oily skin all day long. Two things I would definately avoid are silicone based primers, such as Smashbox and Mineral Makeup such as Bare Escentuals. Often these are suggested for oily skin, but they do nothing except cause more oil and breakouts. Hope these tips help you out!How to control oily skin for the entire day?
