Burt's Bee's makes a great acne line. I use their facial wash, toner, acne solution, and lotion. It can get pricey if you add all of them up, but they are worth it because its all natural ingredients and won't harm your skin :)

After months of struggling, I've found the best thing to do is use a very gentle, neutral cleanser and moisturizer- that way it doesn't irritate your skin more. I love the Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser and Hope In A Jar Oil-free moisturizer- cheaper alternative is Cetaphil cleanser/moisturizer.
It is so important to moisturize, otherwise your skin will produce more oil, clogging pores and causing more zits.
Then apply an anti-acne product to problem areas. Salicylic acid works really well and quickly- this stuff is awesome:

For your blackheads, you need to exfoliate once or twice a week- try using a scrub with benzoyl peroxide(I think Clean and Clear makes again).

And as for a mask...I don't generally use them, since they tend to dry out skin really badly, but a 'mud' mask would be good for your skin.

There is no "best" facial cleanser to clear up bad skin. This is something I've dealt with for quite a while so I'm pretty sure I know a thing or two about it. I've seen at least 3 dermatologists, and been on tons of stuff... Stuff would help for a little while, and then would stop. The best thing that has helped me with my complexion is a mild soap, and sun. Make sure you get plenty of Vitamin D and be sure to put on sunscreen. I notice just natural things like eating a healthier diet, drinking plenty of water, exercising, and spending time outside has helped out my skin tremendously. What you do that's good for the inside, it will show on the out. I can almost 100% guarantee it.

seriously do not bother with supermarket and (unprescribed) pharmacy products. Go to the doctor and hopefully they will put you on a pill called doxycycline, takes about 6 - 8 weeks to work and clears skin nicely with no initial breakouts. For 3 months supply in New Zealand it costs me $3.

AGAIN, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH SUPERMARKET PRODUCTS.

GO TO THE DOCTORS OR A DERMATOGLOGIST
