Most OTC stuff for "acne" really doesn't work. Sometimes astringent containing salicylic acid helps people though, but don't get the kind with fragrance... I tried that stuff and it made me get acne even though I barely had any before... Later I tried a brand with no fragrance (it smelled kind of like menthol, not like perfume!) and it actually worked, so apparently the perfume was irritating my skin. I've heard lots of people's skins are irritated/break out when they put perfumed products on them, so it makes sense!
Other than that, wash with something like Spectro Gel or Cetaphil, it really gets the oil off the face and doesn't leave any residue like most soaps. It pretty much slightly improves everybody's complexion I've ever known to use it...
Otherwise you can try going to a doctor and getting something by prescription if you're really tired of the acne!

i would take hot hot showers to clean pores. Wash your face everyday. Go to your dermatologists.

Get your parents to take you to a dermatologist and have him check it out
