Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic Oily face is due to overactive sebaceous glands. While cleansing is an important step in those who have oily face, it should be gentle and not harsh; it should not over dry skin because that will in turn cause sebaceous glands to produce more oil and therefore rebound oiliness, shortly after washing. I usually ask my patients to use either a salicylic acid based cleanser Or take a few sessions of salicylic acid peel. Salicylic acid inhibits oil production and deep cleanses pores. Another alternative is to start patients on a low dose of Oral Retinoids e.g Isotretinoin. Retinoids are sebostatic; reduce the size of sebacous glands and in turn reduces sebum production. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful. Regards
