I've got oily skin. I've tried many products to no avail. Any suggestions on methods and/or products that can help?
Hey Henry,
I can totally level with you, as I have had oily skin in the past. Any moisturizer is self sufficient, really. The oily skin is because your skin is dehydrated (dry) so it produces more sebum (oil) to counter-act the dry skin.
I've personally found www.BaxterofCalifornia.com to be a great place for moisturizers. On a daily basis I use their, 'Oil Free Moisturizer', which is really light, but don't be afraid to lather it on.

The best thing that works for me is oil free acne stress control with neutrogena for my skin type. it's also important that you moisturize you skin too because your body might be overproducing too much oil on your face because it's too dry
Outside of washing your face every hour or so, there is not a really a good way to keep your face oil free. What has worked great for me are these oil absorbent sheets from Clean & Clear:

They aren't too expensive, and they work great. They are slim enough to hide in your pocket and absorb all of that junk.
I would go with some of the Dermalogica products. Great line for skin care issues like oily skin or excess oil. Some of the best are the Oil Control Lotion Oil Control Lotion, Clearing Skin Wash Clearing Skin Wash and the Dermal Clay Cleanser Dermal Clay Cleanser

Tolsom is what I use and I get a lot of compliments, it's a whole system, and it's got a 180day money back guarantee.
I've also got oily skin, and for my face, I've found nothing better than Dermilogica Clearing Mattifier which is great but kind of expensive. On the upside, it only takes a little bit for each use. C.O. Bigelow offers a more economical choice with their Oil-Absorbing Clay Cleanser. It's great if you use it in your morning routine.
