Currently I am using prescription medication, but when my prescriptions run out I want to switch to over-the-counter stuff to save money. What are some good treatments for oily skin? I don't get near as many breakouts as I used to, but my skin is very oily and shiny! (My breakouts are technically clogged pores due to the oil and not "true" acne, my dr said.) By lunchtime my skin is already very shiny, and on days that I don't wear makeup I can feel a layer of oil on my skin after just a few hours! Any ideas of what I can do to curb this oiliness? I'll also take recs for makeup that help hide the shininess!

(By the way my skin is technically combination, but the dry areas are very small and easily treatable with any old moisturizer I find. The oily areas make up the majority of my face -- cheeks and forehead!)

Thank you!
