Why do users of retinoid creams have shiny faces?

GetRealLady
I've seen lots of before and after photos from people who use tretinoin. I notice many of them look like their faces are shiny or even oily. Is that an effect of the tretinoin or is it because they are wearing some sort of lotion in the photos?
