These remedies will help promote cell turnover & tighten pores.
You can crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask.
Or use one of these variations to make a cleanser or mask:
Milk of Magnesia - apply in thin layer where needed & allow to dry 5-10 mins. Will absorb oil & tighten pores.
Mixture: 6 crushed aspirins, mixed with the liquid facial cleanser at hand (I usually use either cetaphil or tersaseptic), and 1-2 drops of tea tree oil.
Mix half a teaspoon of crushed tablets with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask and aloe vera gel.
Mix 6 aspirin tablets with a little aloe to make a mask.
Use about 6 uncoated tablets, witch hazel, tee trea oil, and aloe to make a thin paste.
For toner:
8 ounce bottle of distilled water add four uncoated aspirin
or
mix of 1/2 water, 1/2 witch hazel, 15 aspirin, and 2 drops of tea tree essential oil and 2 drops of rosemary essential oil
Good drugstore products:
Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask - has clay & benzoyl peroxide. I prefer to use it as a mask.

My son used proactiv which worked really well but was quite time consuming. I have had a few friends that used Accutane. This medication dries the oil glands and your skin may become very very dry until the treatment is complete (approx 6 months of taking pills). The drug has some very serious side effect and you must meet age and health requirments before a doctor will prescribe. Along with regular blood tests to monitor your health. The results are amazing and suppossidly last a lifetime. Hopes this helps

I have naturally oily skin and here is what's worked for me: I started using bar soap (Dove is my favorite) to wash my face with, which has really dried up my face, but clears my skin. In the mornings I use Neutrogena moisturizer but at night I apply Oxy Vanishing Lotion, the 10% Benzoyl Peroxide kind. That stuff will make your face dry as a bone after using it for a while, so moisturizer is important throughout the day. I like Queen Helene Mint Mask for dealing with blackheads, and also the Biore strips work. As for things around the house, you can use table salt to exfoliate your skin and lemon juice tightens up pores. Hope this helps. :)

Well you can always try to use this product which contains chlorella polysaccharide to help to improve your skin in long run. I have personally use it for over 18 years and would not hesitate to introduce to anyone.
You can use the following:
* Spread a reasonable amount of Miho Cleansing milk and dab a bit of Miho Medicated Bath salt (very fine texture you never believe it) to scrub on the face to remove any dead skin and black heads (in circular motion) concentrate on the black heads area. You can also use the bath salt on the neck and body.
* Then rinse it off with water. Need not use the bio foam to cleanse the face as you have already used the Medicated Bath salt with cleansing milk and its already clean when you did it.
Note: When you are not doing any face scrub, you can use the bio foam to cleanse the face.
* Miho Bio foam to cleanse the face.
* Apply Skin Lotion
Do the above steps consistently you will see the results. The items work well when you use together.
This might be new to you but you can check out the online store from the link given below. They have live chat for you to enquire further.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.
Source:
A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

not too sure for the black heads and big pores. But i read in a magazine that people with oily skin can benefit from using bar soap to clean their face since it has a drying effect.

* witches hazel is really cheap
* you could also put small amounts of rubbing alcohol on and then use a good moisturizing lotion
* toothpaste help to dry up oily areas
* proactive really works well too, my friend used it.
* the key is you need something to dry the oils, yet you still need to moisturize to avoid over drying your skin. Proactive is pretty reasonable.

Wash it 3 times a day with clearasil (cheapest brand named skin care)

The most important is keep ur skin clear and oil free, jsut wash it with soap often as possible. Might take a month or so...
FYI - DONT SQEEZE THEM!
