How to reduce facial oil?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Gentle baby soap+: Gentle baby soap washing followed by a light application of witch hazel ( seabreeze ) on a cotton ball- 2-3 times daily. Let the witch hazel air dry- it is an astringent.

Cleansing: Sebaceous glands produce varying amounts of oils from person to person. Consistent cleansing and gentle exfoliation can minimize facial oil.
