It is perfect for that type of situation. All of that oil and exfoliating is only going to lead to the increase of papules/postules on the OP's face. OP you can also try the following.
1. tocotrienols (wide spectrum vitamin e from palm oil)
2. african black soap
3. Increasing water
4. MSM powder-eliminates toxins (boils,dark spots) and improves hair, joints, skin elasticity. Warning it is sulphur and nasty as fukk. 2-4 grams daily and drink of water
5. Use witch hazel instead of green/clear alcohol on your face
I moved on to black soap, but I'll always recommend aveeno soap to anyone with skin problems, espcially on the face. Wash your face with aveeno/black soap, use witch hazel to clean excess dirt, and finally apply a non comodogenic lotion to moisterize your face(I use aveeno moisterizing lotion) and you should see results in time.
