Hi,

Betnovate is a steroid and not used for oily skin or to improve the glow of skin. It is used for eczema or allergic condition. It may cause variety of side effects like depigmention,atrophy,stretch marks,acneform eruption,telangiectasia...etc. So, it should not applied without indication. For the oily facial skin, you may apply mild retinoic acid gel at night and wash the face with glycolic acid containing face wash. This may improve the glow of skin also.

Hope this helps.
