Such products eliminate the oil on the surface and by doing so causes the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. There are two types of oily skin. Oily skin which oozes oils causing a shiny wet appearance ( seborrhea oleosa) and oily skin which clogs the pores (seborrhea sicca) . It has a collection of harden sebum and dead cells in the pores.
