Hi Suman,
Instead of using milk of magnesia to banish oiliness, i would suggest these steps to reduce oiliness and keep skin clear
1) use a salicylic and glycolic acid face wash like ahaglow S or dacne or melawash or saslic etc. Use it twice in a day. keep it for four to five minutes then wash off
2)Use a toner(alcohol free) and a water based moisturiser
3) Apply tretinoin or retinol based cream in night like revize or nexret
4) use a mud mask atleast once a week
If possible take few sessions of salicylic acid peels
Hope this should help you out.
Take care
