Garnier SkinActive Clean+ Shine Control Cleansing Gel has two main ingredients to keep your skin satisfyingly matte: charcoal and menthol.

Charcoal is a great skin care ingredient since it works like a magnet in pulling out deep seated impurities. The menthol, on the other hand, also helps in controlling oil but it may not be fit for people with sensitive skin.

In just one wash, it promises to make your skin shine-free and a lot cleaner.

Because it has charcoal, don’t be surprised if the product has a light grey color. The packaging includes a transparent bottle so you won’t have a hard time guessing how much product you have left inside.

The cleanser has a mild scent which can stick on your skin for a short time. Since it’s menthol, expect a slight cooling sensation after use.

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser has water-soluble Kaolin and gray clay to absorb your skin’s excess oil. It’s also packed with extracts of ivy and lemon to further combat grease.

And if you are feeling fretful about it overdrying your skin, the cleanser actually has sage and cucumber extracts to soothe and moisturize your skin.

The cleanser has a thick and creamy texture and looks similar to clay in color. It’s recommended that you apply the product on damp skin in an upward motion and concentrate on areas that are congested.

That means your T-zone, sides of the nose, cheeks as well as your chin. Pay more attention to where you’d normally oil up and make sure to massage the product for a few seconds before rinsing.

If you have a particularly sensitive but oily skin, then you’ll benefit greatly from this Himalaya Neem Face Wash. It’s free from parabens, SLS and Phthalates.

It’s soap-free but still does a great job in cleansing the skin.

The cleanser has neem which can prevent breakouts. Its turmeric content, on the other hand, has an anti-seborrheic property which means it can slow down the production of oil.

I find the packaging of this cleanser efficient and convenient. Since it’s a topside-down bottle, you won’t have problems getting every drop of it.

You’ll also love how affordable it is. Considering the benefits you’ll get, this face wash for oily skin can give you your money’s worth.

Take note, however, that this isn’t the best product you can use for your acne. If you have severe breakouts, this might not be enough to heal or even lessen them.

If you’re looking for a cleanser that can wake your senses up, then you’ll enjoy this cleanser from Clean & Clear. It has fruit extracts and lemon grass to invigorate your skin and control shine.

I like that it has a gel-formulation and bursting beads. I also find its packaging interesting, particularly because of its color and pump dispenser.

One downside of this product is that it tends to be drying on the skin. Although its purpose is to control oil, it can sometimes overdo its job so make sure you follow up with a quality moisture to address this effect.

Olay is a popular brand when it comes to skin care products and its face wash for combination to oily skin is one good reason why. It’s specially designed to control oil without being too harsh on the skin.

It has a thick and creamy consistency. It foams up well but rinses off easily.

One issue I find in this product is its fragrance content. Although it's mild floral scent isn’t too overpowering, it can cause sensitivity reactions in some people.

If you wear makeup, it’s a good idea if you can remove it thoroughly with a makeup cleanser first since this one can’t get rid of cosmetic products well.
