Oil free skin care

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a good but not too expensive oil free cleanser and exfoliator

    I've combination skin and have been told that over moisturising with oils etc has caused my skin to dry out....currently using the zo health products but they are so expensive- needless to say the clinic in going to is reluctant to offer highstreet alternatives but have said they need to be oil free

    Anyone have any recommendations?

    Thanks!!

    I think I know which (south-side) clinic you have attended!

    The best way to clean your skin is warm (not hot) water and a clean flanel.

    Try Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser (Norm/Comb) or Cetaphil Dermacontrol (oily).
    Also, the Simple range has very good feeback online (KIND TO SKIN REFRESHING FACIAL WASH GEL)

    If you follow cleansing with a light acid toner it will exfoliate the skin but won't injure the skin like a scrub would.

    You might enjoy reading Caroline Hirons blog on cleansing, she has reviewed almost every product out there.

    As far as moisturising, try the La Roche Possay Effalcar range. They are reasonably priced in store and even cheaper on line.

    Spot on with the south side clinic 😀 Now their products were great and 'fixed' my skin but it's just too expensive to continue with

    Heard about cetaphil- will give it a try

    Thank you
