Have you tried regular (at least 3 times a day) spritzing of distilled water onto your face? A bottle costs $1 from Watsons. I have a dry skin, but for some unknown reason in Singapore it acts oily and the spritzing of water recommendation has really helped. Basically the humidity sucks out all the moisture in your skin which produces more oil to compensate - making it oily! So just add water.

Distilled water is as pure water as you can get (no added minerals or anything). Just use a spray that can provide fine mist. If you want the expensive option, there's Evian spray. There's also some facial mist products from The Body Shop - I remember there's a pink and an orange one (which is still in my office). I can't recall the exact product name and I'm not sure if they still carry them since I haven't been in their shops for more than 6 months.
Think positive! The oiliness moisturizes your skin so that once you're older, you can compare your skin with your peers - the ones with normal skin and dry skin will look a bit older than you (assuming you don't smoke).

Try to hydrate your skin very well before going to sleep or even in the morning. The reason why your skin is so oily is because it is not enough nourished. Some creams actually hydrate and matify the skin at the same time. Drink lots of water too.
Also, you can use blotting sheets to reduce oiliness throughout the day. These are sheets that you just dab on your face and that will absorb any excess oil on your face. You can probably find some in any beauty store.
If you want to matify your face, maybe you can try applying a little powder, very lightly with a big fluffy brush.

Cetaphil is pretty good and pretty highly recommended, by doctors too. I've noticed they now have a wash specially for oily skin. They have it at Watson's and many pharmacies. I couldn't find that one online but found an oil control foam wash. Worth checking out.

oily face mask
I have a teenager whoes face is very oily and have severe acnes. I did quite some research on it. He now use honey mask twice a week. Honey takes away the oil but not the moisture from your skin. You should have it at home already. Put it on your face (like you do facial mask) and leave it for about 30 minutes. Give it try, it won't hurt. Hope it helps.
