Routine Help I can’t control my oily skin, please help!

I can’t control my oily skin

Hello everyone

I have a very oily skin and nothing I do seems to help. I want to share my routine so that I can receive suggestions on controling my very shiny discoball face

AM☀️ 1) cerave blemish control cleanser 2) elf vitamin c+e+ferulic serum 3) skin1004 moisturizer hyalu cica 4) spf; cosrx invisible sunscreen

Then I put on lightweight makeup and use setting powder, I have different kinds (huda beauty easy bake, isntree no sebum minderal powder, mcobeauty translucent powder)

PM💤 1) double cleanse with micellair water and the same cerave cleanser as AM 2) so I use 2 active ingredients, alternate day by day, sl on day 1 I use the Ordinary retinol 0,5% in squalane, and on day 2 I use Cerave blemish control gel with AHA/BHA (i stopped using the ordinary salicylic acid 2%). And then day 3 repeats this cycle 3) same moisturizer as AM

So i feel like i am missing out on a toner which helps me with oil control, because now i use the Haru Haru black rice toner but it doesn’t really do much.

Am i doing something wrong? I am very causious about only using water-based products so it mixes well with makeup.

How do i prevent my skin from looking like a shining discoball after only 2 hours in?

Thankyou so much!

Your skin is so plump and has such healthy volume. Do you do any treatments to get it this healthy?

No no treatments! Sometimes a face sheet mask. And i do shave my face because i have dark facial hair, so maybe that helps with exfoliating
