Is it ok to use acne oil control film for removing excessive oil? what cause an excessive oil on skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Toners are typically used to remove excess oil. Some medications like Accutane dry up the oil glands. Excessively oily skin is typically an inherent quality of your skin. Washing with harsh soaps may help dry out oily skin. A good dermatologist or a visit to an aesthetician would be useful in your case.
