I have sensitive skin w/ moderate acne problem and my main concern are blackheads. I need solutions! HELP?

I have some moderately serious skin issues! I have sensitive normal/dry skin and I get acne often though not very serious. Maybe something like 2 or 3 acne bumps very so often. Most times I try using spot treatments to clear them away or something and most times they will go away within a week or so. But recently I got some bumps and I used my spot treatment on them and they are still here. They are going away and becoming smaller but at a VERY slow rate. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS? My other major problem is with blackheads. I read things online where it says to use blackhead removing pads that literally dissolve the dark blackhead spots and I did buy some but because of my sensitive skin I had an awful reaction to it. My skin became EXTREMELY dry and irritative and it hurt like hell for about 2 wks. I did find a way to fix it but then I tried the PanOxyl tube cleanser and my dry skin was back in certain areas. What I don't understand is that I used the PanOxyl bar and nothing happened.
I need some help in finding a safe, effective, and painless way to remove blackheads and clear my acne. I have sensitive skin so I definitely need help to find something that will be good for my skin type. Anything will help, as long as I don't get a reaction because that has happened also, where I would get a facial and the next day I would have broken out in dozens of little whiteheads that hurt so much I couldn't even smile : ( ... Natural remedies are helpful, basically any advice is of good use to me.
