I have very oily skin and feel the need to wash my face every 4 to 5 hours. Which medicated face wash or skincare product should I use to control excess sebum and oil production?
It is very common to deal with excess sebum, but washing your face every 4 to 5 hours can actually strip your skin, triggering it to produce even more oil. I recommend limiting face washing to twice a day. Look for a medicated face wash containing salicylic acid (a BHA that penetrates pores to clear oil) or glycolic acid. Additionally, using a daily serum with niacinamide can help regulate sebum production. Always follow up with a lightweight, non-comedogenic, oil-free gel moisturizer so your skin stays hydrated without clogging pores. If you don't see improvement, a dermatologist can suggest personalized clinical treatments.
