A member asked:
Should i use a moisturizer if i feel my skin is naturally oily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oily skin: People have various skin types including oily, dry, normal, or sensitive. If you are oily, you do not need a moisturizer unless you are on any medications that may dry you out (ex-acne meds, retinol, etc). Some women do get hormonal acne and can be on drying medicines that require you to replenish moisture.
