Been off accutane for 6 months. My skin is 100% clear but the oil has returned. Can i use retinoids to clear up the oil as i have heard conflicting reports that is will make my skin oiler?

Not sure about oiliness but retinoids in theory should help pores stay cleat thus keeping acne away and help fad marks.  As for oiliness, check with your derm

I just went off Retin A after 2 months because it made my skin a grease pit! It was horrible
