Oily Skin at 48. Skincare routine changes?

OP, I notice you do not use a face wash/cleanser in the AM…..
I would thoroughly cleanse my skin in the morning since while you are sleeping your skin throws out impurities which need to be properly washed off the face upon waking.

OP here- I will try that.

And yes, it’s definitely helped with aging!

Agree.
Consider seeing a Dermatologist.

Really? The list above includes make up. I don’t wear foundation.

The niacinmide and tret have both helped with the oiliness. This isn’t a new thing, I was way oilier as a teen and it’s actually a lot better now. I am just tired of it.

I use the same products as you because my skin has because *driy* in the last year or two. Your post reads like this: except for tret, I use all these greasy products on my oily face and it is still oily.

Niacinamide reduces oil and clears pores (good for oily skin). Vitamin C reduces sebum. I am not sure eye cream has much of an impact on the whole face. The moisturizer, when used in the winter, is oil free.

Oil cleanser hasn’t made my skin and more or less oily but I am going to try to switch it.

I haven’t used any products since this my first post and my skin is worse today AND I am breaking out for the first time in months.

I have. She prescribed the tret and recommended Niacinamide.
