A member asked:

What is the best cleanser for an oily skin! eucerin cleanser or avene cleanser? and what's the diffrence between those too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mild cleansers: If your skin tends to be oily then a cleanser that has either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid 1-2 times per day can help. However, remember that your skin produces oil throughout the day so you still may have some oiliness between washes.
