Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Oily skin is due to overactivity of sebaceous glands. You could use a 2%salicylic acid based face wash twice daily.
I usually ask my patients of oily skin to take an oral retinoid(isotretinoin) in a dose of 5mg once daily for a month. It reduces the size and therefore the activity of sebaceous glands.
