Newly oily skin - products?

I have recently switched from combo to mini pill and for the first time in my life, my ‘normal’ skin has become oily!

I’ve always been quite lazy with products - just use nivea normally - but I think I now need a different option. I’ve heard the Ordinary are good - any recommendations or other suggestions very gratefully received!

The body shops seaweed range is really good, especially the face wash. Stops that mid afternoon oil slick

Oh thank you! I’ll have a look!

Keep an eye on your skin for acne, Progesterone makes you oily which is food for acne causing bacteria.

What I’m trying to say is if you start getting spotty go to the dr for treatment rather than treat it with cosmetic type products.

Thanks Fluffy - I will keep an eye. So far just oily - been on it a couple of months - but any sign of acne I’m back at the doctors !
