Need a face cleanser for oily skin that has acne and black heads?

I am a 15 yr old female, skinny, I have oily skin with off/on acne, and blackheads. My cheeks are never oily, so I guess I have combination skin. My nose gets really oily and I have a LOT of blackheads on it.
I got a facial the other day and the lady said my pores were big too.. if that helps
And I would like a cleanser that is for my skin type. Im using Neutragena Wave right now and it worked in the begining but now its not :(

erythromycin acne topical treatment?

My doc prescribed erythromycin for my acne and also some erythrocin (i think thats how its spelled) pills to take twice a day. Unfortunetly the pills make me verrrrrry nasues even when i take it with food etc...so i have only been doing the topical erythromycin treatment for my skin. i dont have severe acne or anything, i would say i have moderate acne. ive been using the gel for about 5 or 6 weeks, and it seemed to work a little in the begining but now that i really look, it seems to look worse than it did before! my parents even asked me why my face was so broken out...should i stick with this treatment a little longer? or has it been long enough and is time to go back to the doc for something else?? any tips or advice on any other prescription meds that have worked well would be nice too...thank you!!

What is the best Acne treatment kit?

I have tried a lot of different kits and nothing seems to work for me. I have tired Acne Free that is suppose to be better then proactive, but it made me break out more. And I have tired the Murad kit a couple years ago and the same thing happened. Maybe the Murad kit has gotten better in the past couple years. I really want a kit that actually works for me I am sick of breaking out. Can anyone help me?
Is there a time in the begining of these kits that your skin is suppose to beak out while it is getting use to what you are doing. I normally only try these products for two weeks and then give up

Should I take human growth hormone?

Im 26 and an otherwise healthy male.
I've been into martial arts since childhood and am now begining to compete in MMA.
My problem is injuries, I have allot of injuries from my years of training that prevents me from getting into fighting shape, I can train solid for a few weeks, then get injured from old injuries which will take me out for a few weeks.
it seems allot of people who compete, i know take it. but i've always been quite proud of being natural as im naturally quite strong/athletic. but i cant continue training, because of injuries!
please help me out here!
thanks allot for the answers, however I would only intend to use it short term to attempt to clear my body of injuries. i dont want to get any bigger or have an unfair attvantage over an opponant, just to clear injuries and stop using if a fight comes up...

my face is dry and itches?

i just started using acnefree face wash and spot treatment.
and each product has 2% benzoyl peroxide.
and when i use the face wash and after i put on the spot treatment, it dries my face out very much.
it doesn't have redness, only a burning sensation when i put it on.
then later, after i've used it for a couple days, my face is begining to itch. not in the areas where i use the benzoyl peroxide though, like on my neck.
i do have very sensative skin also.

it works well, but the itch is somewhat an annoyance.
should i continue to use these products?
any recommendations for other good working acne treatments that wont do this to my face?
