Is this skincare routine alright? What should i eliminate/add?

i'm a teen. i have super oily skin! (in the middle of the day you could fry chicken using the oil off my face and it looks so shiny, that's why i go through a pack of oil blotters so quickly!)

Morning:
-clearasil daily pore cleansing pads (2% salicylic)
-aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer
(Oil-free/hypoallergenic/noncomedogenic)

Night:
-clearasil daily pore cleansing pads (2% salicylic)
-prescription trerinoin gel:0.01%

once a week i use Queen Helene Mint Juliep Masque (do you think i could use this everyday before school if i wanted to?)

to treat huge pimples i use: clean & clear advantage acne spot treatment

also...i'm interested in buying cliniques pore minimizer t-zone shine control to help my oilyness....

i've tried everything!:::

differin
clinique washers and cleansers
neutrogena
biore pore strips
etc.

what do you think???

Skincare routine for a teenager?

I would really like to know some good products for a teenager to use that WORK! I have really oily skin on my forehead, nose, and chin. Even if I wash my face, an hour later, it will most likely be oily again. I constantly have pimples on my forehead, and blackheads on my nose. Though my chin is oily, it doesn't tend to breakout as much, but it has recently. My cheeks don't usually have any zits, though sometimes they may get one or two. I would really like to have clear skin when school starts in a little over a month.

Currently, I use Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser and Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. The face wash has almost run out so next I have a Cetaphil one to use. I have heard that I should be using:
-a gel or foam-based cleanser
-an alcohol-free toner
-an oil-free moisturizer with SPF for the daytime
-an oil-free moisturizer for the nighttime
-an acne spot treatment
-a weekly microbead exfoliator or acne masque

The questions I have are: What skin type do I have? (I think its combination-oily but I'm not sure) Do I really need to be using all of these kinds of products? What are good products to use that will help me have clear skin?

Feel free to add anything, but please don't tell me just to wait.

Do Deep Pore Facials Heal Acne?

Im getting one tomorrow, here is the description:
Deep Pore Facial 60 minute
Great for acne, blackheads & whiteheads to clean deeper. Extractions if needed, high frequency for healing followed by a facial massage, masque, tone and moisture treatment.

Im excited and I pray it works, I've had a 4 month breakout and usually my skin is clear with a bump here and there....I've been eating healthy, relaxing more, even used proactive! Anyone have a expericence with getting a professional facial?

A Good Acne treatment plan?

I'm a teenager and I breakout a lot with a lot of acne. I have lots of blackheads but I'm more concerned with pimples and red spots. So can any recomend me any good cleasers? What I really want is a good masque or acne treatment thing! I have some but they don't really work that well they take away the redness and reduce the size of the acne but the next day its back. So Help!! Thanks

Is this a good morning routine?

Well, Ive never really had to do any acne treatments because i never really broke out at all and i really kept myself clean. Well surprisingly now im breaking out in whiteheads and small pimples. im like NO! im also trying to lose about 15 pounds that i gained on my vacation. Those buffets sure get ya! hahaha. well heres what im planning to do:
Wake up at 6 am go on elliptical for 20 minutes.
Take a 10 minute shower. Use Noxzema Deep Lathering Cleanser in shower (ive always used this)
I use Hydrating Teatree Mint Shampoo and Conditioner. I also deep condition with Garnier Fructis 3 Minute Masque once every two weeks. I use a loofah to exfoliate my skin, does that work? So if im really breaking out i use my proactiv renewing cleanser on the spots with most zits. Then i get out and comb my hair and then apply Biosilk Silk Treatment to my damp hair. I then use my stridex acne pads. Then 3 times a week i moisturize with either aveeno clear complextion moisterizer or proactiv oil free moisturizer with spf 15. Then i get dressed, let my hair air dry, and eat a fruit for breakfast. When my hair is dry, i straighten it. I put it in layers and use my Pantene Shine and Heat protection spray on each layer. Either i straighten it or curl or just leave it or do something lol. After that im pretty much done and just apply my usual every day makeup. I get my stuff together and then go on the computer or something and then leave for work. I dont eat lunch all day other than maybe a water, juice, and a granola bar or something. Then i get home and eat a nice healthy dinner. Sounds good? My coworker who i am very close to pointed out that i was getting a few pimples and i freaked. (we are really good friends lol) im glad she pointed it out. But what i noticed by myself is that i went for a good 120 to 145 in 8 days at my resort! CRAZY!!! lol so thanks in advance plz helP!

Does wearing a hat give you acne?

I wear a hat at my work, I work at Domino's Pizza and It gets hot and I sweat. I wear makeup to work as although I work at a food joint I do want to look good. I have really bad acne on my forehead. I use anti shine wash every day I use a microdermabrasion product everyother day and I use a anti shine masque every week. I also use a acne spot treatment product on my forehead 2 times daily. It's not going away! I don't want to throw all of my stuff out and can't affort proactive or anything like that but if anyone knows if my hat is causing my acne and if you may know of a good facial wash let me know.
