Topical Treatments: Having oily skin is not necessarily a bad thing, as many of the oils are there for the reason. Skin oils protect our skin agains the outside environment, infectious agents, and damaging sun rays. Nevertheless, the amount of the oil secretion may be reduced by retinols and retinoids, use of which should be managed by a dermatologist.
