"Phillips milk of mag (original, not flavored!) has helped with oil reduction, which has helped with acne. I use it as a mask for 30 minutes, and if needed, I spot treat and leave it on overnight. It's the best I have found to help with my oily skin, my mom, however, uses it for wrinkles too."

Magnesium hydroxide "I tried Milk of Magnesia on my face not too long ago. I suffer from acne and very oily skin. It helped dry out my oily skin. It left my skin feeling smooth, too. I now use this as a mask once a week."
