Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query. Oily skin is due to excess activity of sebaceous gland. This over activity of sebaceous glands can be controlled by retinoides. You can use nilac ac gel daily in night. It will reduce secretion as well as remove marks of acne. This cream cannot be used if you are pregnant. Remember to use a water based sun screen like sun cote in morning. Apart from these you can use ahaglow face wash and acnelak soap. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thanks you
