[Routine Help] Very oily skin, need recommendations!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi SkincareAddiction! I was suggested to ask for skin care routine help from r/MakeupAddiction here to combat my insanely oily skin. I've even been questioned by a beautician how I got so oily in the time it took her to thread one of my eyebrows.I actually have a mild form of Seb Derm (essentially facial dandruff) which happens when there is an excessive amount of oil on your face causing it to react with a yeast found on the skin resulting in dry patches and flakes. The tea tree oil being an anti-fungal really helps control that so it never really becomes an issue unless I let it get out of hand.Here is what I do: Every morning and night: * Dr. Bronners Tea Tree Soap as cleanser/face wash * Tea tree oil diluted to about 3% as a toner Mornings: * Cetaphil oil control moisturizer with spf 30 * Biore face milk sunscreen, spf 50 (I highly reccomened this to everyone! This is one thing that does help with the oil control, it's worth the 3 week delivery time from Amazon) Nights: I use a konjac sponge with the Dr. Bronners * Drunk Elephant Glycolic Night Serum (this is 2.5 weeks new, I've heard people with oily skin are seeing oil control over time) * CeraVe moisturizer in the tub with ceramides and hyalauronic acid (this is meant for dry skin but since oily skin may actually be dehydrated, I use it anyways) About once a week I'll use the Aztec Healing Clay face mask with ACV.In my post at MUA I was told I should probably switch my cleanser to the CeraVe foaming cleanser for oily skin. I'm okay with this, but just curious if it's as deep of a clean as Dr. Bronners. I used to use salicylic acid toners and face washes as a teen but I don't anymore since I'm not really acne prone despite being super oily unless The Lady in Red is visiting and I found it to be drying. I'm 23 and anti aging isn't a huge concern of mine but due to spf and moisturizer neglect as a teen and recent allergies causing daily facial swelling, I have some smile lines and under eye wrinkles that I would love to tackle as well. Could anyone advise me on if there is anything more to add or that I should remove from my current routine?
