Oily skin: Benzoyl peroxide washes and retinoid creams like tretinoin, tazarotene, adapalene, can help reduce oiliness of the skin. These can't be used if a woman is pregnant. Powder makeup, such as mineral powders, can be helpful for oily or acne-prone skin. If oiliness is excessive or comes with acne, excess hair growth or hair loss, it may mean a hormonal imbalance. Please consult your dermatologist.
