[Skin concerns] Not sure if my current regime is helping with my oily skin

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi there; extremely new to this sub and I just wanted to say that everyone seems so nice and helpful here! So, I have moderately oily skin and large pores. Had horrible acne as a teenager, but now any pimples I do get occur only on my chin or jawline. I don't have serious blackheads, but my large pores do trap a lot of stuff on/around my nose. It's such a relief to have only minor acne these days. In the morning (and usually at night), I use the Neutrogena Pink Graprefruit acne scrub-- have been for years. I moisturize with Cetaphil and use Clinique makeup daily. My problem is that after a short amount of time, the oil from my pores tends to soak through my makeup and it's not hot. This also seems to highlight the scarring I have on my cheeks from my teen years. (It's not bad, but in certain lights my face looks a bit rough.) Is there a better way to control my oiliness than the Neutrogena PG Scrub/Cetaphil combo? Has anyone had success with other cleansers? I plan to try a few chemical peels (with a dermatologist, of course) to reduce my scarring. Has anyone found that they help with pore reduction as well? I'm sure accutane might help with at least one of these issues, but I'm one of those people who is deeply uncomfortable with anything beyond topical treatments. I would love any advice at all re: oily skin and large pores!Bonus product question: Anyone ever try a Konjac sponge?
