What Is The Treatment For Acne Scars And Oily Skin?

Dear Doctor,
I have an oily skin and it is inherited to my from my parents. I got acne since i was 14 years of age. now I'm 26 years. I have acne scars on my face but I do not get pimples very often by now. Only some blackheads and whiteheads. Yet the greasiness is there.
I have tried several face lotions to hydrate my skin, but most of them did not deliver me good results. I have a fair skin. But when my face becomes oily, it gives my skin a dull and heavy look.
What I need to know is the proper way to maintain my skin without breakouts and wrinkles.
I have heard that Glycerin is good for oily skin. If so, how can I use it on my face? Is there a good lotion that I can use to minimize my enlarged pores and scars while controlling the oiliness of my skin?
Your kind response in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Inoka
