Best advice: See your dermatologist. They'll help you out the best.
And if your parents had bad acne (Thanks dad! rolleyes ), then that's probably a factor in your breakouts.
Stress and horomones are a big part of that too.
If the feeling of the oil on your skin gets to you, then wash with a gentle soap.
I've tried Clean and Clear and Neutrogena before, and they work well on the milder cases and they're convenient. But I'm using ProActive right now and it does work very well. However, it's a bit pricey and it can be pretty harsh on sensitive areas.
Also, (Hang on, this is a general assumption that you're female, based on your avatar...) some birth control pills contain horomones that could help get it under control as well.
All in all, see a doctor if you can. As you can probably tell, I've gotten this talk from my mom quite a few times. (A nurse... figures.)
