i would say a really good product for acne is proactive however it can dry out ure skin, but if you just have some blemishes get a spot treatment with 2.5 percent or less of benzol peroxide as it can leave dark scars if you have oily skin but a few blemishes try using just the cleanser from proactive or use the clean and clear products which are excellent for mild blemishes.

use clearasil.. it'll dry up ur skin a bit, but it's ok since u have oily skin anyway.. also after u get rid of ur blemishes, exfoliate regularly to keep dirt and skin cells from causing new blemishes.. there are several exfoliants that contain acne medication as well, so u'll be double good to go!

I recommend starting off slowly.  I have used Clearasil and it has helped me.  I stopped because I was concerned about the main ingredient triclosan and the effects on using it long term.

You can try AcneFree, sold in many drugstores.  I don't recommend ProActiv but then again it wasn't meant for my skin type, oily and sensitive.  There is another acne treatment kit called Klear or Kleer acne something.  I know it is sold at www.drugstore.com and it has gotten many positive reviews.

Anyways keep your regimen simple.  Use a gentle cleanser, a toner is optional but I recommend something gentle and alcohol-free.  Also I recommend an acne treatment.  A low dosage of benzoyl peroxide of 2.5% (found at www.acne.org) or some low dosage of salicylic acid should help.  Also a nice gentle moisturizer with SPF should be good and you are good to go.  Good luck.

I use natural products to fight skin conditions. they may not show results as fast but in the long run your skin will be better for it.  a lot of acne products are very harsh and will strip your skin of the oils you need to protect and promote healthy skin cells.  tee tree oil and lavender are great at combating bacteria that causes acne and preventing scaring, exfoliation is great  you can use oats they are wonderful clensers. Using clay masks to soak up some of the oil will also help deep clean your poores. 
let your beauty be natural!!

I use a product by opaltech to lighten marks caused by acne. My entire face was marked up. But everything has faded now. Proactive is also really good. At the moment I use both. Proactive during the day and the lightening mask at night. I also mix the lightening powder in with the lotion that comes in the proactive kit. It's not as expensive as some of those other brands that don't work. There's a link to the store in my signature below

I really like the clearasil brand. It's not too expensive and goes on light.

hey!
 
Heres my acne cure story....maybe my cure will be yours too!  I had bad acne ...inflammatory and noninflammatory... from age 12 to 23. I did proactive..hated that stuff! also went to dermatologists for years and spa treatments.... I finally cured my acne by using Maximum Strength Oxy Cleansing Pads.... but they only worked for me when I used them w out washing my face w any other products. I dont ever wash my face w anything else, and I even avoid letting water touch my face as the water here is really hard.... i use them two to three times daily.... i was almost completely clear w in a week.  
 
Good luck to you!

steam your face twice a week then use a facial cleanser before applying any topical then you will see a difference.

tea tree oil and witch hazel are great for a mans acne problem also if you shave it will reduce shaving bumps.
