Glycolic acid works as an exfoliating agent because of its high acidity but easy solubility. When placed on the skin as part of an exfoliating cream or gel, glycolic acid goes under the damaged upper layers of skin and destroys the ‘glue’, which holds dead skin to the surface. As this dead skin is chemically burned off, the other ingredients carry the individual flakes away and a water rinse neutralizes the remaining acid. The result is a much-smoother skin surface and a more youthful appearance

Question by honor_c4: How to not have a oily face ANYMORE?
I have a oily face and I tried some ways, but I still have a oliy face. I have just some acne, like not too much and not too little. And when I wash my face, I use Cetaphil (Skin refreshment wash) for day, shower, and night. I ask my doctor what to do about it and she said just these face wips with some chemical in them. But I use them and it helps for about maximum 30 minutes, then it gets oily again. I drink about 5 cups of water about just about and I eat decently healthy, like not too much junk food, but some. So, basically is there a way to remove it all or atleast reduce the amount of oil on my face?
Thanks

Be thankful that you have an oily face, they wrinkle less.
When you are 50 years old, you will have nice skin, and all of your friends who don’t have oily faces right now will look like prunes.
If you have acne, then Accutane will dry your face and rid you of the acne, but it is a very expensive prescription drug with scary side effects.
Do not use any wipes with alcohol, because the rebound effect that will make your face even oilier, in a short time.
A mild soap, like Dove and water will clean your face and not lead to oily rebound problems.
Oil absorbing powder, available in compacts, or loose made with cornstarch will help keep the oil down during the day, and prevent shine.
Try to find a colorless powder because tinted foundation powders look phony and can streak.

Do you have oily skin care issues? Let me share with you a little secret: everyone, at some point, deals with oily skin. Why is this important to you? Because knowing that secret will save you money and guide you to solutions that give better results than standard oily skincare products. This article reveals how to use that secret to your skin’s advantage.
Curse You, Hormone Scum!
The first thing you need to understand to apply that secret is how you got oily skin in the first place. Under the surface of your skin are microscopic sebaceous glands responsible for secreting fats and dead cells onto the surface. These secretions are actually good for your skin in the right amounts. They protect your skin from dehydration and other environmental irritants.
In order for your glands to produce those essential oils (called sebum) your brain sends a message via a specific hormone (DHT). The DHT hormone delivers the production order, and Voila! Healthy, balanced skin.
Sadly, sometimes your body makes too many hormone messengers. The glands over-deliver and you’re left with an oily sheen, rather than a healthy shine.
You can lay the blame of these workaholic DHT hormones at the feet of…
* your parents (genetics) * your age (puberty) * your gender (pregnancy, menstruation and the birth control pill all cause fluctuating hormones) * and your location (hot, humid climates encourage more DHT messages for increased secretions)
The excessive skin oil provides a smorgasbord for the hungry bacteria living on your face. They start a party, and you’re left to clean up the leftover splotches and zits. That’s how oily skin leads to embarrassing breakouts (at any age) and unattractive blotches.
So what can you do about it? Are you doomed to hide behind your hair? Are you cursed to powder your face every 10 minutes?
A Balancing Act
Developing an oily skin care regimen that works is really simple, once you understand how to walk the tight-rope of “too much” and “not enough.” As mentioned above, you need oils on your face. Using harsh products will strip your skin and encourage flakiness. Your body will attempt to counter-balance, (called “reactive seborrhoea”) by over-producing oil the next day. And isn’t that counterproductive to our oily skin care goal?
Oily skincare products that make your skin feel taut and dehydration are also working against you. The upper layers of your skin will shrink. This restricts the natural oil flow through your pores, which creates blockages (aka blackheads) and breakouts. You are looking for the perfect ying-yang balance. You need to find an oily skin care plan that effectively dissolves the excess sebum (oils) on your skin, kills the bacteria lurking on the surface, and then replaces the perfect amount of natural oils to leave your skin hydrated, healthy, and happy.
A Three-Pronged Attack
1. Wash Well…But Not Too Well
I know this sounds odd, but it is possible for a person dealing with oily skin care issues to wash too much. Too much washing will stimulate your skin to produce more oil. Your skin needs oil, remember? If you continually take it away, your body will naturally regulate itself to produce more. Plan on washing your face 2-3 times a day, max.
Not cold, not lukewarm…hot is just right. Hot water dissolves skin oil better than lukewarm or cold. Don’t give yourself burns (that’s not good oily skin care either!), but a nice warm wash will give you a great oh-so-fresh feeling.
2. Die Bacteria, Die!
Remember that bacteria that lurks on the surface of your skin and eagerly awaits to feed on the oils on your skin? Kill it with a good antibacterial cleanser. Specifically, use a cleanser with a natural form of Vitamin E (known as Alpha-tocopherol).
Choose a cleanser that uses only natural ingredients (plant oils, extracts, etc.). Don’t choose a cleanser with alcohol, that will only dry out your skin and start the “reactive seborrhoea” process mentioned above.
3. Soothe Troubled Skin
Finally, soothe your trouble skin with a gentle moisturizer. Many people will tell you to choose oil-free moisturizers. Really, you should choose synthetic oil-free moisturizers. Remember, you just washed away all your natural oils. You’ll need to replace them with other natural oils, to prevent your DHT hormones over-stimulating your oil glands again.
So, choose products with natural Grapeseed or Avocado oils. Both ingredients have powerful antioxidants and provide a healthy dose of plant-based Vitamin E.
A Secret Revealed…and a Penny Saved
Remember the secret I told you at the beginning of this article? You know, everyone, at some point, deals with oily skin. It’s time to look behind the curtain of “Oily Skincare Products”, and reveal…a big, FAT…nothing. That’s right. Spending additional money to purchase those “designed for those with oily skin” products is a complete waste of your hard-earned money.
How do I know this? Simple reasoning reveals the answer.
We’ve already determined that oily skin is a result of hormonal changes. If this so, than the slightest change in DHT hormone will result in excess oils being secreted. So dry skin in the winter is oily in the summer, or dry skin on Tuesday is oily on Thursday, or dry skin at age 14 is oily at age 40.
This means that unless your skincare product isn’t balanced, your skin (and your complexion) won’t be either. You need to find a natural product that’s tough enough to deal with your skin’s occasional temper-tantrums (oily, flaky, breakouts, etc.), but gentle enough to maintain the delicate oil-ratio your skin requires.
If you have oily skin care issues, your task will be to find a product that is good food, not just good chemicals. A balanced product (for oily and dry times) will give you equally balanced (and gorgeous) skin. I’ve struggled with oily skin in the past.

Oily skin is defined as skin that is shiny, thick and often covered with unsightly blemishes. People with oily skin will do anything to reverse it and those without it seem to do everything to prevent it. Oily skin is often hereditary, so chances are if you have it you inherited it from a former family member.
That’s not to say that you cannot develop oily skin however. There are many people that develop oily skin through improper skin protection and just plain uncaring skin care. But how do you know when its time to act?
It’s time to combat oily skin as soon as it begins posing problems. There are millions of Americans that suffer from mild oily skin each year but there are many who suffer from severe cases as well. The problem is many people wait until their mild case of oily skin turns into a severe case before they actually do anything!
If you even suspect your skin leans toward the oily side then you should take precautions now to stay on the safe side. Oily skin will be more open to blemishes and pimples then dry skin (because it is more open) but there are many remedies that you can take for this. Just check out your local drugstore and you’ll be swimming in oily skin products and remedies.
Many people have a love/ hate relationship with oily skin, abet more hate then love for sure, but oily skin does have its benefits. Before you start heckling, oily skin comes with several advantages that work to a person’s benefit in the long haul; let me explain:
Oily skin is less prone to develop discolorations. Especially when a person in their teens or early 20s they have an increased tendency to have skin discolorations. The skin may have marks or spots of red rashes on the surface, which can be unsightly. A person with oily skin actually lowers their chances of developing these discolorations and in fact, they probably won’t have to worry about it at all.
Oily skin helps prevent wrinkles and lines in the skin. Younger people don’t tend to look this far into the future but the oily skin that they are suffering from right now will benefit them down the road because it will keep them wrinkle free longer. As the skin ages the chances of developing fine lines and wrinkles increases. It is a natural affect of the body but since oily skin has more moisture then non-oily skin the skin will fight wrinkles more efficiently.
Oily skin tans better then non-oily skin. Now this is a benefit that a person can appreciate no matter what age they are. Everyone loves a good tan and those with oily skin will have an increased ability to have a darker tan because their skin is more resistant to burning to turning bright red due to sun exposure. Someone with dry skin has a good chance of burning in the sun but someone with oily skin will just get tanner quicker.
Oily skin typically doesn’t develop freckles. Some people love freckles while others despise them. That said, oily skin is less prone to developing freckles and for most people this will be a positive thing. While they will have to live with a shiner complexion they will get away from freckles.
The most important consideration when dealing with oily skin is catching it before it gets too bad. Most people only have mild cases and they never go past that stage but if it does it can be much tougher to treat. Don’t get discouraged if you have oily skin because it does have its benefits (as listed above) but know that there are several cleansing products that you can take to lessen the affects of oily skin.
