First off, what I'm going to suggest sounds completely nuts but bare with me
I've had acne since I was 11 years old - tried all different facewashes, creams, ointments, prescription pills, antibiotics and even went to the dermatologist for a course of roaccutane (which I regret deeply). Nothing worked up until two years ago (I'm now 26) and started using the oil cleansing method. Essentially, three-five times a week I do this;
Wet a washcloth in hot-as-you-can-stand water and place it over your face to steam. Repeat a couple of times.
Mix together 50% castor oil (found near the laxatives in the pharmacy) and 50% extra virgin olive oil - just enough to cover the dip in your palm - and massage your face with it for a good 5-10mins.
Use the washcloth with very hot water and wash all of the oil off. Be sure to get it all off your hairline and jawline.
Done. Straight after your face will feel and look so amazingly clean. You wont get greasy within 6 hours aswell like I used to. If you google 'oil cleansing method' you'll find lots of info on why it works, but all I can say is that if you look at my pics on my profile, I'm not wearing any makeup and my skin is just awesome. I know I sound like an advertisement but seriously, I recommend this to anyone who will listen. I really hope you get the same result that I have
