  I have been using HeadLube Lotion Matte - 8 oz for about a year now, but my wife bought home a sample of this Clinique product which is great....downside....it's only 1.7 oz, vs the Headlube which is 8oz.
  
  Can anyone recommend another oil control hydrator that you use but a bigger size?  I can't see spending $22 for the Clinique product.
  
  Thanks!

• Is it oil control you are going for or the matte finish?
  
  Have you tried the Matte for Men, or the matte finish Headlube?  My MFM should be coming this week.  I don't really have a problem with oil, but I want to reduce the mirror effect and even out the skin tone with the Matte for Men supposedly does.  I am highly prone to freckling.
  
  And remember that some oil is good.  Keeps the skin from drying out and flaking.

• My skin is very oily so nothing I use really helps control oil.  By mid-day I'm an oil slick.  However, this week I tried not putting any moisturizer of any kind on my head.  After my shave I just use Head Clear and nothing else.  I made it further through the day before the oiliness got really bad.  I think if you got oily skin you really don't need a moisturizer...you got natural moisturizer.

• I agree with you 100% ycartt! BUT, if I don't use anything for a few days I do still end up with flaking! Fine line between too oily and too dry.

• I use Jack Black oil control lotion ... I tried the others and nothing kept my head oil free ... this stuff works awesome. Downside? It's pricey, about $17 ... you can get it at Nordstrom's or Sephora.

• In the interest of helping others, do you feel that the various wipe products help with oil control?  I am often shocked at the amount of dirt and oil they remove in the afternoons when I use them.

• The baldguyz headwipes are excellent for a quick refreshing.

• I think I might just stick with the headlube matte.  Alot of great stuff here guys.
