How to help reduce an oilly face and acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type of cleansers: Many products are for sensitive skin. You want to avoid these. Dial , safeguard are good soaps to remove the oil. Benzoyl peroxide wash 5% is good for oil and acne. Lather into skin , wait 5 minutes and rinse. Use warm water. Cleansers with salicylic acid will also remove the oil and help the acne (leave on skin for 5 min). You can alternate the two, one in the morning and one at night.
