DyannLynn,
I've had great luck with Shiseido's Pureness line. The Mattifying Moisturizer and the Mattifying Stick are great tools. My skin used to be quite oily and these were go-to products for me. The stick is particularly convenient since you can toss it in your purse without worrying about spilling or leaking.

DyannLynn, my patients find Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF mineral powder sunscreen very useful for oil control. It is available from the offices of dermatologists or other doctors who have a special interest in medical skincare. It comes in a portable tube with a built-in brush so that it's easy to tote around, even as carry-on baggage on an airplane, and can be reapplied quickly. Besides controlling oil, it's also a chemical-free sunscreen that is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation. It comes in different shades to match your skin and also as a translucent, colorless powder.
Hope this helps!
Dr. Hema
