People with oily skin will know this dilemma all too well: you wash with the toughest soap and get your makeup just perfect, only to realize your nose is a beady little oil slick by lunchtime anyway. The nasty thing about skin is that no matter how clean and perfect you get it, it tends to adapt and overproduce oil anyway. So below are some of the best products for oil control on the market for keeping skin oil-free.
