OILY FACIAL SKIN: Try facial cleansers like neutrogena acne wash, clinique facial cleanser for oily skin, clearasil (benzoyl peroxide) face wash. These should help. Also shampoo your scalp often; this reduces oily facial skin as well.

A good place : To start with would be a face wash with salicylic acid in it. These are widely available at drug stores and many supermarkets.
