There's a lot you can use and everyone's skin is different. Definitely don't go adding loads of products in instantly, this is something I did and it melted my skin and made acne worse.

Some things you can try are:

1. Salicylic Acid: Can be in a cleanser or as a serum, start off using it 2x a week not daily or bidaily. It will reduce oil, clean skin and smooth skin . If your skin gets red or irritated then stop and use it less or stop using it.
2. Azelaic Acid: Similar to Salicylic Acid but much more gentle. If you skin cant handle Salicylic acid then try this. the ordinary's one is pretty good.

If these don't work and your acne is very bad you can try tretinoin. Its strong, will dry your skin out, will purge ( make acne worse for a few weeks ) and after all this your skin may hate it and get super red and irritated. If you take this route make sure you've tried the others and start very slowly with this e.g. once a week to start.

On top of this make sure you are eating clean, drink 4L water daily and sleeping well.
