Looking for a really good cleanser. Oily skin

I just finished up my 2nd 7 month accutane treatment. Its been a month and my skin is going back to an oily monster and I already see little bumps coming in all over my forehead. I think I need to start off with a new cleanser. The one im using is extremely gentle (using it during my treatment for redness) so Im not sure its doing the job. Ive tried neutragena cleansers, clean and clear made my skin irritated, coconut oil broke me out bad. I also have a clarisonic I might bust out. Any suggestions? Best cleanser you own? Ive seen a lot of Micheal Todd products all over YouTube? Bioderma? maybe philosophy?, or a body shop facial cleanser? Something that gets the skin clean!

I used to really struggle with oily skin, I always had acne but thankfully no monstrous breakouts! For me cleansers with salicylic acid worked the best. Honestly the proactive wash made for the body was miraculous on my face (regular proactive was too harsh or something, my skin was always a mess) good luck!

Thanks so much for the suggestion!! Unfortunately salicylic acid never worked for my acne but maybe it would be a good idea after my accutane treatment to see if it cleans my skin better than regular washes. Also proactive never worked well for me but I never tried the body wash :] something to think about. Thanks again!!
