I use like a pea sized amt, skin still becomes glossy

It also might be because of my BP cleanser. I keep getting conflicting results online when I search if it's an exfoliant or not...

I have oily skin actually, but bp cleanser dries out a lot. To the point where if I don’t wear any moisturizer, then I get breakouts due to excessive oil production from my skin to overcompensate for the dryness

when I was in the chemist looking for a moisturiser they were all advertised for dry and normal skin, I have oily skin aswell I just use cetaphil moisturiser and cerave facial clenser, tell me if you find anything good for oily skin. I did find a cerave oily skin moisturiser but its spf so its not ideal to use it when you arent going out.

Regular Cerave cleansers aren’t drying, so I’d use cerave lotion for oily skin. I use cerave acne foaming cleanser twice a day so my skin gets a little irritated

For Aha/bha and tret, it’s best to go with heavier moisturizer regardless of skin cuz you’ll be drying it out a lot.

Moisturizer clogging pores is mostly a myth as well seeing as moisturizer actually makes my skin have less acne as I’ve mentioned before

my skin is oily but the forehead in particular but it doesnt have the big red acne clusters you see online, more just a lot of whiteheads on the forehead rather than cystic acne

for whiteheads, frequent exfoliation is porbably best. Don't fall for exfoliating cleanser like salicylic acid cleanser since they don't stay on the face long enough to exfoliate. Glycolic acid, lactic acid, etc

some people are just blessed ngl. But my skin becomes top tier after using a simple cleanser and moisturizer. Multistep skincare routines are cope but cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing is legit

I know that in many cases of oily skin that it is the skin increasing oil production due to dryness. I would recommend moisturizing straight out the shower. Don’t use a towel just wipe the water off of you. Reason is that the skin can absorb the water better with a moisturizer.

The CeraVe moisturizing cream is quite thick, try the daily moisturizing lotion (pump bottle). It doesn't give me much of a shine at all.

if your skin doesn't look better after using then there's no point
find a moisturizer better suited to your skin

I use the same and yeah it gives me a glow, I love it.
