A member asked:

I am suffering from very oily & acne proned skin & i was wondering if anyone knew of some at home remedies that really work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can try...: You're welcome to try tea tree oil, vinegar, and whatever else. Benzoyl peroxide is you best bet -- it's the most effective over-the-counter preparation. If the patient is a young person for whom you're responsible, a physician's office visit is in order -- being a teen is rough enough without acne. Best wishes.
