What to do to keep an oily face from braking out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes : There are many potential causes for oily skin. A good skin care routine with a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic moisturizer may be all that is required. Use of retinoids may also be beneficial to reduce oil gland secretions. Certain hormonal interventions such as oral contraceptives or spironolactone may also be beneficial.
