How can I prevent my face from getting so greasy causing acne?

After I work out, or when i even get the slightest bit hot,my face becomes a grease ball! In the morning when I flatiron my hair right after i take a shower, my face gets soooo greasy! I wear hydogen perioxide (oxy) every night. I also wash my face 2 times a day twice. My parents won't let me buy any other face products. I do have face wash, and use it twice a week (following instructions). what should i do? I have really bad acne, and i dont know how i get it? I wash my face a lot, and put on acne treatment creme on. My hair sometimes gets greasy too, so i have to wash it everyday, really scrubing. Maybe should I take a shower twice a day? Will that make me cleaner, and will that help? When I tell my parents the acne cream dosen't hellp they say,"yes it does i know it does, how do you know it dosen't". Please I am gonna have terrible scars later on, please help!!! Should I persuade my parents more! PLEASE HELP, I HATE THIS ACNE PROBLEM!

Blackheads/acne/oily skin?

My condition: I have oily skin in places, [t-zone] and i have some pimples on my forehead/nose. In the insides of my nose i also have blackheads which are freaking impossible to get out! I don't want to contaminate my skin with a whole bunch of products but I don't know what to do. I use about 4 or 5 products which have calmed my skin down a bit and i don't break out as often but it's hard because living in florida, you sweat a lot and sweat=grease=breakouts. Please don't reccomend anything too expensive or that is available prescription only!!
Thanks in advance.

I am 35 and has terrible acne, blackheads and holes developing on my face what can I use or do to stop this.?

My face was ok until the last 4-5 years, when my face felt rough to the touch. It seems as if grease got trapped under the skin. whenever I squeeze them some white stuff would come out and then the area would become tender, and a large swelling would develop in the location. I am terrible conscious about my face and the way it looks and feel. I have been to the dermotologist and each time I would be prescribed various medication that just seem to work for about a week while others only make the situation worst. I really would like to know what I can do or buy over the counter on my own to help my situation. I am very very frustrated. Help!

I'm 18years old and have done every treatment for my acne and even the dermatologist, nothing seems to work!!?

I've done almost every over the counter treatment, proactiv, differen, and other prescribed treatments. I take Vitamin A pill to help keep my skin oil free but it is still a bit oily. I stopped drinking soda and watch how much grease i eat. I dont know what else to do!!! Is there something else!?
