i suffered from acne when i was younger and it didnt go away till about a year ago. im 20 now.
what i started doing was shower w/ neutrogena foaming face soap (orange in a pump bottle). I would always wash face last in the shower, then turn the hot water off and the water would get cold as hell, and I would let that splash all over my face for a while.
I heard that hot water opens pores, which then i clean. and the cold water closes the clean pores.
if i have to shave that day, i will skip the cold water in the shower and then shave immediately after the shower (face wet, nothing touching it) and after rinse w/ warm water to get the shaving creme fully off, then cold water to close my pores.
I would also use aqu di gio aftershave by giogio armani, because it also helps closes the pores and didnt seem to irritate my skin.

oh and nomatter what i would use neutrogena face moisterizer. it has spf 15, and if i didnt use it, my face would become almost too dry, which would lead to oily skin. i dont use that on my forehead though, because it seems too oily then. and my forehead is fine w/out it.
