A member asked:
I have oily(face)skin.currently oil cleansing w/sweet almond oil.does oil really decrease the overproduction of sebum or will it cause more oiliness?

Use real Rx: Try retinoic acid instead. Most of these products named for pretty flowers, fruits and trees are placebos. If you have acne, the retinoic acid should help as well. A dermatologist can give you more advice
