Exfoliants: Topical cleansers and lotions containing glycolic and salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide. Prescription topical meds such as: aldapalene (differin), tazorotene (tazorac), tretinoin (retin-a). Natural products like tea tree oil. But important not to overdry skin (ie: overuse of toner) which can trigger skin to produce even more oil.
