i also have a very oily face and hair. honestly, there's pretty much no solid cure other than accutane, but there are ways to lessen it.
since i have mild/moderate acne, i was put on retin-a gel, which is the topical form of isotretinoin (accutane). at first it REALLY sucked. I was breaking out like crazy and it dried me up. now i'm pretty much almost cleared up and the oil has gone down by about 40%.
apparently, the longer one stays on this nightmare retin-a (it's soooo drying), the better the skin will look over a long period of time. it's too bad we can't be prescribed good genes.
ALSO: SPF and moisturizing is important on this medication btw. i also use a mattifying moisturizer during the day and blot every hour or so.
