For oily skin and mild acne, Salicylic Acid works well and that can be found in a cleanser (face wash). However, it usually works better when applied as a leave-on product like a serum or toner. So I would suggest using a cleanser like Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser for normal to oily skin. Then, at night time only, apply a 1.5% or 2% Salicylic Acid serum. The Naturium BHA Liquid Exfoliant 2% is a good option (sold at Target, less than $20). \~You need a product that has a pH lower than 4.0 to ensure the stability of Salicylic and this one does. Some other brands go above 4.0 so less likely to be effective. In the beginning, only use the Salicylic/BHA toner once every other night. Just to make sure your skin has a chance to adjust to the ingredient. You can increase to using nightly if after about 10 days your skin is doing fine (no irritation, etc.). Every time you wash your face, which should be twice per day with oily skin, you need to replenish skin's hydration with a moisturizer. If you don't, your skin will start to feel dehydrated and could start over-producing oils -- which would obviously be counter productive to your goals. For oily skin, here are some moisturizer options: Bubble Level Up Balancing Gel Moisturizer, Cerave Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel, Remedy Light Gel Barrier Repairing Moisturizer, or Peach Slices Oil Control Mattifying Moisturizer.
