Use something that exfoliates the skin before you put on the acne treatment.

You can also some Spectral Gel (sp?) from shoppers.

If your face is naturally oily, you can try using a toner.

Steivamycin. This drug is only prescription so you gotta get a dermatolgist first. If you have a drug plan, you can get it for free.

In regards to your oily skin, I have come to a conclusion that you can only go so far to treat it. TRUST ME, ive tried everything to get rid of stupid oily skin (I have combination skin, oily around the nose and forehead) and ALL products work to AN EXTENT. No moisturizer will complete get rid of oily skin, although it can reduce it. Your face wont look perfect, but will help.

For my Oily skin, I use this stuff called La roche posay. Its 25$ for 30 ml of lotion and it works pretty well.

Make sure you use a non oil-based moisturizer.

Vivi has it right, La roche posay is a springwater-based formula because it contains no irritants that can trigger breakouts.

You can also try mixing rubbing alcohol and distilled water (in a 1:1 ratio). Basically, just apply it (using a cotton ball) after washing your face. I've tried it years ago and it worked wonders.

Which is what most alcohol based toners are.

If you're a girl go on the pill.

If you're a boy - no comment.

Tip to prevent scarring / recurring whiteheads though: polysporin.

ProActiv worked best for me.

Sometimes zits are purely hormonal when you're younger, some people are more prone to them than others. THere's even a study that says masturbation causes zits, because of the homones, so maybe try not to yank your crank for a week and if your face clears up, then you've just discovered the cure
