Axe makes good body wash for guys. My boyfriend likes all of them, but I wouldn't recommend the Snake Peel. It made him break out in a rash. So now he's been using my Oil of Olay, which has extra moisturizers in it (mine has body butter ribbons, but there are ones with aloe ribbons and almond oil ribbons). Use a pouf when you use body wash and buy yourself a back brush--that should help take care of the acne via mild exfoliation.
The truth is, body wash isn't going to help or hurt your acne, really, because the compounds (like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide) that fight acne are washed off when you use a body wash. Wearing clean undershirts helps a lot, as does washing after getting sweaty or changing shirts. The one thing I would say that might help is to put some witch hazel in a spray bottle and spritz it on when you have a flare-up.
And when you do have dry skin--Nivea creme. It's a totally non-girly basic moisturizer that smells unisex. Slap it on those parts of you that get dry RIGHT AFTER you get out of the shower, when you're still a little damp. Also, during the parts of the year where you do get dry skin, PAT dry, don't rub dry, and air dry as often as possible. Makes all the difference.
