Suggest Suitable Remedy For Oily Face

What products could I use to make the little holes in my face go away. (I have a very very oily face; so I need products that makes your skin dry). I drink only water. I wash my face three times a day, but nothing seems to be helping. I tried everything! I am really insecure about my face, I need help desperately :(

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand form your query that you are concerned about oily face.

You could use a face wash containing 2% salicylic acid. Wash your face only 3 times daily and not more than that.

You could also get salicylic acid based chemical peels done by a dermatologist.

You could also benefit from taking 5 mg of isotretinoin tablet for 3 months. This has to be taken strictly under the supervision of a dermatologist who will monitor for side effects,

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
