You need to use a clay mask in order to clean the oily pores. In the shower try neutrogena pink grapefruit wash.

I'd suggest the body shop.seaweed exfoliant and followup up with a hydrating mask a few times a week. the seaweed will balance the oil without making you dry.

I like these suggestions. I checked your profile to see if I could figure out your age, but no such luck. I'm 34 and I had this same problem. Last spring, I bought a clarisonic mia2 and it really helped me. That said, those other suggestions are much cheaper, so if they work, save some cash! Good luck:)

Your skin is lacking hydration, and by stripping it of the oil it produces you're basically making it worse. Your skin is the largest sensory organ on your body. It produces oil to protect and moisturize as well as clean itself. Without the sebum that is produced by the sebaceous glands, our largest organ would not function properly. What we have traditionally done throughout the years, especially those with oily skin, is use harsh cleansers and astringents to strip away the oils. So when we go and use these harsh detergents and soaps and strip away our naturally occurring sebum, the skin goes into overdrive and produces even MORE oil to replace and compensate the oil that has been removed.
The more you take, the more it makes.
Basic chemistry lesson…like dissolves like. Meaning, oil will dissolve oil. ( Have you ever tried removing nail polish from your nails with nail polish? ) It will also clean and replace. You are better off taking a cotton ball, dipping it in oil, and cleaning your skin, then stripping it of oil. The clean oil will not only dissolve the dirty oil and replace it, but it will also clean out your pores. For oily skin types, I find that Jojoba, Almond, or Vitamin E oil works best. I'm not too fond of Olive oil as it sits on the skin too much.

Hydrate your skin! Sounds like your skin is dehydrated = lacking water.
Drink Plenty of water
Exfoliate 1-2x a week.
Use a hydration mask.
Along with appropriate Serum and moisturizer that will aid in hydration.
