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.

i have the same problem because i only get acne occasionally, but then i get scars from the acne, so i bought something called clearasil ultra acne scar system and it is about 20 dollars and comes in a shiny blue box. it has 3 steps to it, a scrub, a moisturizer, and a night repair lotion that is specially for acne scars. it didnt get rid of my scars fully but it reduced the appearance by a lot because now you can barely tell i have the scars, so i would try to use that, hope this helps :)

Well, try TOOTHPASTE. Do not use the Gell types. Use the white , normal toothpaste. Just dab some onto your acne scars every night so that it has enough time to dry up by morning. Remeber to wash your face , and pat dry it before dabbing on the toothpaste. Next morning, just wash it off simply with plain warm water. It should help..Within a few days, your acne scars will become darker, and soon faint off...

I have the exact same problem as you. Go to Wal-Mart or Target and get scar zone for your scars. Then rub Vitamin E over the scars as well. To clear up the acne, rub toothpaste over the spots that are most prone to breaking out before you go to bed and sleep with it. Trust me you will not break out I have been doing this for a while now.

I would say the arbonne rejuvenating cream for oily skin. I would also suggest going to their website and seeing for yourself how ahead of the times they are. Proactive not so safe on your skin also I am an estetician YOU should not use a scrub only a mask on acne prone skin. If you need more help I can help you, jamikcamp@yahoo.com

The Mary Kay acne products would be good for you because they are made just for sensitive skin....
try the blemish toner and acne treatment gel, they have been the only products that have worked for my skin!
also they make a Microdermabrasion Set that is helping my old scars!!!
