You could try using a cleanser with salicylic acid which helps gently exfoliate the skin and get rid of oil. When you get a pimple dab on tea tree oil with a cotton ball. Another good ingredient in acne products is benzoyl peroxide, but it can be drying and can irritate sensitive skin. A great thing to use is a mud mask once a week which will help detox the skin and get rid of excess oil. For homemade remedies try cutting a strawberry in half and rub it on your face for exfoliation. Rinse it off with warm water and your skin feels soft afterwards. You could do this 1-2 times a week. If you have acne scars, its best to see your doctor and maybe ask to try Retin-A which helps with acne and scars (depending on the severity of your acne). Drink heaps of water everyday and always wash your make-up off at night. There are also certain foods to steer clear off which can cause inflammation in the skin, which result in acne and oily skin. There's a great book to read by Nicholas Perricone called The Clear Skin Prescription, for more information.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

I was going to tell you to go see a dermatologist, but i know a few home remedies as well. You could start by washing your face three or more times a day using a facial mask, scrub, or wipe. That usually helps with oil that builds up around the skin creating more acne. Then you could start by minimizing the amount of caffeine and greasy food you eat. the more more of that stuff you eat, the more you'll get acne. I hope that i can be a help to you.

My dad is a dermatologist and I worked for him for several years... here's my advice. First of all, DO NOT scrub, tone, peel, etc. That will only make the inflammation worse. If they are cysts (acne of the deeper sort), try an over-the-counter remedy like Oxy or Clearasil. They contain benzoyl peroxide. Secondly, protect yourself from the sun. Acne meds make your skin more sensitive, and the sun can make everything worse. Thirdly, wash with a gentle cleanser and keep your face moisturized with something light like Purpose lotion.
Do not pick at or squeeze blemishes. Also, if you're having a lot of blackheads or whiteheads, double check and make sure you're not grinding something into your skin like a cell phone or your hands. That can cause pores to clog. Hope that helps!

Go see a doctor first to get some advice... Some people have oily skin, otherones dry skin... It depends on this what to use on your face.
I always thought I had dry skin, so I used some creams but it didn't help and acne came back a lot. My doctor sent me to a specialist, and I was using the wrong creams, it only made things worse. Once you know what type of skin you have, you can look for remedies that suit you best... You can always ask about homemade remedies to the doctor itself too. Then at least you'll have a professional opinion.
