I would just say stop touching you face, change you pillow covers and sheets frequently, GENTLY wash your face twice a day and only twice a day, unless a third time is necessary.
Try using regular soap first, but if that doesn't work, then I would get a cleanser, Cetaphil is pretty good. And if nothing works you can ask your doctor or go to a dermatologist for help.

Hi! The biggest thing you can do is to avoid touching your face...I have that habit. What I have been doing has worked wonders for me. Although I still get zits, there are much less in number and the ones that do come are less noticeable, red, and painful.
I bought azelaic acid powder from ebay. It's a bit over $1 per gram of it. It's an ingredient they use in some acne medications but it's much cheaper to get it in bulk. I bought 100 grams and have had it for over 2 years now. I mix a couple spoonfuls of it into a small container and fill the rest with a good, unscented lotion. The ratio should be about 1/4 to 1/3. I apply it in the morning as well as they night.
Another thing. I stopped washing my face too often. Over washing causes drying which causes zits. I Use St. Ives face wash once a week. When I get out of the shower I simply use a towel to dry it off.
And I know this will work because my sister had bad acne for many years. Mine started as bad as hers and has gotten so much more manageable. Many people comment on my clear skin even though I think there are many zits. SO also realize that people don't notice as much as you may think! (:

I honestly find the simple methods, the most effective. Get a decent face wash, one that works well with your skin. Figure out what skin type you have and go from there. Wash morning and night, without fail and always remove all traces of makeup if you wear any. Get a moisturiser for day, and a night cream. Moisturise your face morning and night after cleansing. Exfoliate once a week but be gentle. Face mask once a week to a fortnight. And to use directly on spots, antibacterial creams such as sudocrem, savlon or germaline work great on spots. A dab of perfume on them (as long as the spot is not open ie from picking *dont pick!*) on the spot will also help dry it up, make it smaller and reduce redness without drying the skin around it. Just dont use much. I personally find acne treatments are far too harsh on the skin. It may get rid of acne, but your skin gets so so dry, and sometimes acne treatments have left my spots even more inflamed. It must just depend on the skin type.

Blackheads:
Take a shower and get the bathroom steamy,then put a washcloth over your face.
Go to CVS/WALGREENS and get strips/masks for them.
Get an exfoliate.
Acne:
Drink lots of water,eat healthy,and wash your face once or twice a day.
It might take you awhile to find a wash that really works but you'll find one.
