For a facial cleaner I found that Noxzema or Physoderm was helpful. Also, for bad acne sometimes antibiotics like Erythromycin can be helpful. Also, applying raw egg yolk (found this out from an article years ago thru Ann Landers) to the face can sometimes help with clearing up acne.
I would also recommend a consultation with your doctor to see what additional suggestions they may have because sometimes difficult to treat acne can be an indication of a hormone imbalance.

Hi,
Good skin care can keep acne under control and at a mild level.
Wash the skin twice a day using a mild soap, especially after exercise. Avoid scrubbing the skin. Hard scrubbing of the skin is harmful because it irritates the openings of the oil glands and can cause them to be more tightly closed.
Avoid putting any oily or greasy substances on the face. Oily and greasy substances make acne worse by blocking oil glands. If unavoidable, use water-based cover-up cosmetics, and wash them off at bedtime.
Shampoo the hair daily. Avoid hair tonics or hair creams especially greasy ones. These substances spread to the face and aggravate the acne.
Avoid picking blackheads as this delays healing. In general, it is better not to "pop" pimples.
Exercise regularly and keep fit.
Don’t stop the acne medicine too soon. It may take up to 8 weeks for a good response.
The treatment of Acne that works .
Most acne can be treated effectively with two drugs, or at most three, at any one time.
Tretinoin, isotretinoin, adapalene, and tazarotene are topical retinoids which, if applied daily, inhibit formation of comedones and usually clear even severe comedonal acne within a few months. The only major drawback is irritation, which is greatest after a few weeks, but the irritation usually requires no more than simple moisturising. Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with modest antibacterial and comedolytic effects. It is the least irritating preparation. The side effects: in dark skinned patients, inflammation results in hyperpigmentation, which could otherwise remain for weeks or months.
Usually, two drugs are prescribed an antibacterial and a comedolytic. Benzoyl peroxide 2.5-10% is extremely effective against this type of acnes. Its major disadvantage is irritation, which can be minimised by using lower concentrations in a cream vehicle. Topical erythromycin and clindamycin are available as alcoholic solutions, lotions, creams, and gels, all of which are about equally effective. A combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide in gel form is superior to a topical antibiotic alone. Azelaic acid 20% cream is also an effective alternative.
Solutions for acne that is resistant to treatment:
Investigate compliance
Increase frequency of topical treatment
Begin or increase oral antibiotic dosage
Search for hormonal derangement
Begin oral isotretinoin therapy
Acne treatment is an essential concerns in almost every household. Good diet plays a vital role in acne prevention, and eating the wrong foods can really make acne much worse.

If you can get a dermatologist to prescribe it, Accutane will get rid of your acne–and most of it will NEVER come back.
Has some crazy side effects though…
