I have oily skin anyway. I use witch hazel because it doesn't overdry.

I got really oily especially around my nose, I never thought it could be related to the meds.

I have oily skin. However, it is not attributed to my medications. Several products have helped me including: bull dog face wash, cetaphil, olay, cerave and noxema. All are available at cvs, target, etc. To curtail costs, I shop using the stores apps for deals in combination with coupons from print adds/mail circulars. There are often great deals on many apps. I suggest that you investigate the stores near you and see what offers best fit your lifestyle.
