Does Winlevi 1% get rid only of acne or does it treat hyperseborrhea too?

Hello, I'm suffering from facial hyperseborrhea since I was 14. It has been always the culprit from my acne. Now I'm 22 and still have hyperseborrhea and mild acne, but I'd want to get rid of this once forever. I'm pretty much sure my hyperseborrhea is due an hormonal imbalance. I clean my face twice a day and use products recomended by my doctor (retinol, salicilic acid, etc). It is true that breakouts improve but the excesive oil remains, only 1 hour after I wash my face and use the products, my skin is oily again. My question is, does the new topical winlevi 1% helps with hyperseborrhea or only with acne? As far as I know, it should help with hyperseborrhea since winlevi inhibits the androgen receptor, and the culprit of hyperseborrhea is in fact androgens
