For oily, acne prone skin:
Crush 4 - 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Or mix them with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel instead of water. Apply a thin layer to your clean face & let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.
For combination or sensitive skin:
Apply a thin layer of plain milk of magnesia, let it dry for 15-20 minutes, rinse off w/ cool water & a clean wash cloth. Plain milk of magnesia will absorb excess oil & temporarily tighten pores.
My favorite spot treatment = Desert Essence Blemish Stick. It has tea tree oil & is sold @ Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, etc.

First of all a week is plenty of time so dont worry! First you will need a good cleanser. I reccomend Clean and clear acne advantage. Put that on every night and a little moisturizer (olay or aveeno) on sensitive areas. Then for the ginormous zit lol the BEST spot treatment in the world is Neutrogena Rapid Clear CREAM not pads. Just rub a dab of that on the zit and it should reduce in 8 hours. Only do that every other day though cause its a strong spot remover.

Check out acne.org. I wouldn't use Benzoyl Peroxide, though, because it usually leaves a red/brown mark (depending on your skin color - red for paler people, brown for darker tones) where the zit had been. Some people get the marks regardless of Benzoyl Peroxide, but in my opinion, Salicylic Acid is better.
