Maybe you could consider the facial soap called Gamila Secret, remember not to use any moisturiser or make up remover that's oil based...

I use either clean and clear exfoilating scrub (which works like a miracle and is very inexpensive!) Or I use clean and clears blackhead scrub. Which works really well too! Make sure to use something to scrub your face , not just using your hands to just put it on your face. Use a facial sponge. I use Buf~Puf facial sponge and it works awesome to get blackheads and white heads out of your skin! I'm pretty sure you can get them anywhere , but I get mine at fred meyers , or walgreens.

I use the Neutrogena grapefruit body wash and for your face you can use either a face scrub or cleanser I use both but I alternate them. I use st Ives green tea cleanser and st Ives apricot scrub. If you have sensitive skin just stick to one.

For whiteheads, the best for them is to treat them as regular pimples. Using an ingredient like benzoyl peroxide will help get rid of them. Benzoyl peroxide is the most researched and by far the most effective ingredient. Though if you are going to use a black head product as well I would stick to the black head one, and eventually white heads go away from simple cleansing.
Blackheads are clogged pores or hair follicles, and aren't too hard to get rid of. As far as skin care goes, use a wash with salicylic acid. Salicylic acid works by taking layers off of the dirt and oil in the pore, and will slowly unclog it more and slowly rid of it. For a quick fix you can try using pore strips, they stick onto the dirt and pull it out. Though, older blackheads tend to not come out with pore strips because they're just stuck more. For the hard to remove ones, there is a little metal tool you can use for extracting them, and it can be found at any beauty supply store. If doing this though you need to go about it properly, exfoliating the skin to prepare it and not being too harsh.
