Oily Skin Remedies
Many patients who are using Retin A for over 6 months and still find their skin oily and pores enlarged may be able to tolerate a higher % dose. Others find benefit in adding an astringent or toner to their regimen as well as increasing the number of times during the day an oil free wash is utilized. As always, I recommend having a board certified dermatologist evaluate your skin and recommend a skin care regimen unique to your individual condition.
