Question 1

i have oily(face)skin.currently oil cleansing w/sweet almond oil.does oil really decrease the overproduction of sebum or will it cause more oiliness?

Use real Rx: Try retinoic acid instead. Most of these products named for pretty flowers, fruits and trees are placebos. If you have acne, the retinoic acid should help as well. A dermatologist can give you more advice

Question 6

my face is too oily face what the medication ?

Accepted Answer

Treating the skin: Pills are not prescribed for this unless there is also (A LOT of) acne. Various soaps can be used to dissolve oil. What type and how harsh depends mostly on what works for the individual, but regular soap, benzoyl peroxide or a soap with agents to protect the skin could be used. Sometimes an oily diet MIGHT affect it. Heat, or stress also might.

Question 7

how can i treat an oily face once and for all?

Accepted Answer

Oily skin: Sometimes our efforts to reduce oil and control acne are too effective causing a strange mix of dry scaly oily skin.   The solution is actually to pull back slightly on your drying regimen -namely the oil-stripping soaps, salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliates and retinoids by decreasing concentration or frequency.  I often have success with dhc cleansing oil (sounds crazy, but works).

Question 8

what to do to keep an oily face from braking out?

Accepted Answer

Many causes : There are many potential causes for oily skin. A good skin care routine with a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic moisturizer may be all that is required. Use of retinoids may also be beneficial to reduce oil gland secretions. Certain hormonal interventions such as oral contraceptives or spironolactone may also be beneficial.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Overactive glands: Certain areas may have larger sebaceous glands which produce the oil.
