6. Dealing with Oily Skin

Decreasing sebum secretion is a priority for people with oily skin. For women, the contraceptive pill reduces oil by controlling testosterone levels. Retinoic acid cream decreases sebum production by 90 percent, which can help individuals with skin conditions caused by excess secretions. Cosmetic products with less than a five-percent concentration of green tea or L-carnitine are effective at suppressing sebum production, and botulinum toxin is more than 90 percent effective in reducing pore size and sebum production within one week of use.
