I know that the Brew Potion feat can be used to make these items, but can I also use skills?
The Paizo site states that potions can be crafted with the Brew Potion feat, Spellcraft skill, and Craft (alchemy) skill.
Does this mean I can just have Craft (alchemy) and not take the feat Brew Potion and still be able to make potions and oils? Or do I still need the feat?

You can use spellcraft or craft(alchemy) for the final check to create the potion/oil, but the brew potion feat is still required.
