Believe it or not - EGGS.

Mine has gotten super oily too. I have a natural skincare book and it said to try brushing egg white on your face. It draws out oils and tightens skin really well. I tried using clearasil and oxy stuff, but they dried my skin out so much it went scaley and then really oily again to compensate.

You actually need to apply a moisturiser after cleansing, because the skin can go into hyper drive if you remove all the oil, so produces twice as much. I always had oily skin, so I use a gentle cleanser and then a moisturiser for oily skin after. I think mine has actually gotten drier though.

I have to say that for the first 16 weeks of pregnany my skin was a complete nightmare! I used to have really dry skin but it turned all oily and spotty and nothing i did would help. It DOES get better on its own though, because i hit a certain point and magically it cleared up. Make sure you're drinking enough water as that will naturally help clear up any imbalances.
