If your bathroom cabinets are anything like mine, then you’re just about swimming in products that claim to stop oily skin. I’m a bit of a skincare junkie, and if I see something that says it will stop me turning into an oil slick by the afternoon, I want to slather my face in it. So after years of trial and error, I’m here to break down the info you actually need when it comes to anti-oil propaganda and products! So let’s cut to the chase – what are the best products for oily skin?

Banish Acne Scars was started a good few years back, by a YouTuber called Daisy. She was fed up with not only the cycle of acne, but the cycle of ‘professionals’ telling her what to do (does that sound familiar?) She eventually started her company Banish Acne Scars with a small line of derma rollers and Vitamin C serum. She now has a solid suite of products that aim to remove acne scarring, and keep acne at bay! And today, I’m here to review two of those products.

Ever since starting Accutane, I’ve been making an effort to keep you updated with my progress on YouTube. My Accutane results after 5 months of treatment surprise me each day. I’d like to give a full review with before and after images once I’ve completed my treatment, but I honestly don’t know when that will be! My dermatologist has told me I can’t stop until I have no spots for the entirety of a box, and judging by the cracker pimples I’ve had over the last couple of weeks, it’s definitely not this one.

I’m a fan of homemade remedies for acne and oily skin. They’re cheap, you know what all the ingredients are, it’s fun to make each little potion and they usually work. Not always, but most of the time they do. But trying to pick out which ones are worth trying can be low key irritating – which is literally the last thing anyone needs. So here are my top 3 picks for homemade DIY toners, for acne and oily skin.
