First, determine what kind of skin condition you actually have. A lot of times, people mistake certain types of conditions for regular acne and then start a cycle of trying hundreds of products and only making the shit worse. Go to a dermatologist and don't try to remedy it yourself.
Some tips:
Don't touch your face. EVER. If you must, touch it with a tissue or something. Don't scratch it, don't get oils on it, don't put unwashed hands on it.
Wash your towels and pillowcases weekly. No exceptions.
Don't rub your face while washing or drying. When you use a cleanser in the shower, GENTLY rub it in with soft circle motions. Don't use a cloth. When drying, DAB your face, don't rub it scrub it. Also, don't over cleanse or anything. A product should not be touching your face for more than 30 seconds or else you're just going to face horrible dryness.
As for moisturizer, Oil of Olay Complete SPF 15 works wonders for me. Get a type labeled for sensitive skin. Not only is it giving your proper moisture, but it's giving you UV protection for daily life.
Again, though, see a dermatologist. If it isn't acne, stuff like salicylic acid compounds will make it WORSE in most cases. And don't listen to ANY of these morons telling you to use "soap". Soap is the worst product ever created for your skin. Get a proper CLEANSER for your face, get a proper MOISTURIZING BODY WASH for your body, keep shampoo OUT OF YOUR FACE. NEVER BUY SOAP AGAIN UNLESS YOU WANT DRY SKIN AND EVEN WORSE REDNESS/ACNE!
Also, sweat. Sweat a lot. This is great for your skin, it's a natural form of cleaning, just don't let sweat dry on your face or you'll get clogged pores.
