Dermatology/Oily skin

Question
I have extremely oily skin. Every morning when I wake up, the oil from my forehead literally seeps into my eyes and causes them to burn. I would take a prescription med for it, but I have Steven Johnsons Disorder. This makes it harder for me. I tried every cleanser and lotion and toner out there.. I am thinking of taking Acnepril, but would it work or not? Is there any OTC pill I can take to help reduce the oiliness of my skin?
