[Routine Help] First time posting here and my minimalist routine does nothing for my extremely oily skin and mini pimple breakouts. Please help!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been to a dermatologist before (getting prescribe topical gels, etc.) but I'm tired of putting so much chemicals on my face and having no results (about 4 years of trying different topical gels, etc.). This is my first time on the SCA subreddit and I've heard so many success stories from SCA, so I hope you guys can help me too!I have recently started to only use Cerave foaming cleanser on my face at night and washing my face with only water in the morning). That being said, the moisturizer I use in the morning (Neutrogena combination skin), makes me so oily and it gets extremely bad at night.I am currently living in a very humid city and every time I step outside, I sweat like crazy. In addition to that, I have some acne here and there, but my skin has been extremely oily. Nothing I do helps :(Here is my routine.AM: 1. Wash face with water 2. Apply one pump of Neutrogena combination skin oil free moisturizer and spread it across my face.PM: 1. Apply one pump of Cerave Foaming Cleanser 2. Spot treat pimples with Calamine Lotion 3. Apply a generous amount of Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream to rest of my faceThe most annoying is the amount of oil on my face. What can I do to fix that? The second issue would be the mini pimple breakouts. I feel like the calamine does it's job in decreasing the swelling, but it would be nice to have clear skin again one day.Please help me out :( I know it's something that is small and this may sound dumb, but my skin has time and time again make me feel depressed and ugly. Going through all this treatment with my dermatologist and seeing no results really make me lose hope.Thank you guys for your help and I wish I had tried this subreddit much sooner.
