Are there any magic creams or tips out there to cut down the amount of oil my forehead chucks out?
Thank you!

Yes, Dr Hauschka Oil. Don't bother with mattifying and drying stuff, they will just leave a layer of product and your skin will still be oily. This oil will actually help to balance your skin, so it produces less oil.

Also came on to say that using a facial oil will probably help. It does for me (but I use cheapie Superdrug Vit E facial oil).

Thank you, I'd never have thought that using an oil would help

Agree oil helps, but I've also been quite impressed by a really cheap primer I bought from superdrug which I slap on and it stops my face appearing so oily. It's this one

What are you using to wash your face with? A lot of face washes and soaps strip the oils off your skin which then responds by overcompensating with more oil. Go for a gentle non-foaming cleanser/ balm or oil.

I use Simple toner to cleanse. I don't use make up on my face as such, just eye liner and mascara
And I use either lidl serum or no 7 day cream and Eucerin night cream

I have had comination skin for ages with a supr greasy forehead and nose and it has completely gone since I started using the ordinary niacinamide serum. I was very surprised.

The toner could be making it worse if it's stripping the skin

Oh good point. I will check that
