You won't find what you really need from the counters in department stores. You really need professional products that truly address your skin needs, plus as you have said, someone to perform a facial at LEAST once a month for deep cleansing.
What ICU says will help..it balances the Ph level of your skin as oily skin has a totally different one from normal or dry skin, oily is more alkaline, which allows for more bacteria to grow and produce a great breeding ground for acne. You will also need to exfoliate daily, but with a very mild exfoliate that had totally round shapes in it...not the "natural" ones, like ground seeds, since those have minute sharp edges that can make microscopic cuts in the epidermis, thus introducing more area for bacteria to enter. Oily acneic skin works very differently than normal/dry..the skin cells that sluff off get mixed in with the oil, which is more waxy than normal skin, and clog the pores..keep the skin exfoliated and this lessens the chance for pustules to form. Don't over wash your face, because contrary to popular belief that it cuts down on the oil, it makes it worse.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. --Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
