Excretion of sebum is due to effect of androgenic hormone and this can be reduce by anti-androgenic drugs. Other drug like isotretinoin in low dose can be used.

Using oil control products will lead to an increase in sebum production. Blotting facial oils helps to reduce the production of sebum. Oily skin is not a concern for those with rosacea. Accutane fully eliminates ("cures") oil production. You can't wear make-up while using oil control products.
