What is the best solution for oily, shiny skin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Use proper cleansing: Try to find a great cleanser for your specific skin as well as a good skincare line. Avoid mineral oils, and products containing petrolatum or other comedogenic ingredients in skincare formulations.

OTC Salicylic Acid: I would begin with an over-the-counter salicylic acid wash/cream. If you do not feel that is sufficient, a physician can prescribe a cream call a retinoid that is very effective in decreasing oil production.
