Skin has reverted to a teenagers!

I need some advice/recommendations of a skin care routine please! Since coming off the pill my skin has reverted back to how it was when I was a teenager - oily T zone (mainly forehead), normal cheeks, but lots of blackheads (nose and cheeks) and always 2-3 spots. Hormone related but not bad enough for GP to do anything about.

But I'm a bit clueless with what skincare products to use - the ones I used prior to coming off my pill were all for a slightly dry skin, which I definitely am not now. I'm currently using Clearasil - the exfoliating wash and the pore toner stuff, which is fine and I think helping it not get worse, but I'd like to try and find something to keep my skin a bit clearer if I can. And No7 moisturiser.

So does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking of trying the Clinique 3-step routine - according to their survey thing I'm type 3, but it recommended some of the anti-blemish things instead of the usual type 3 range, so its is quite an investment to try out (they're starter packs don't include the anti-blemish range). Would anyone recommend it? Or have something else they swear by?

TIA

I use 3-step type3, and whenever I stop using it my skin explodes.... But I found the anti-blemish solutions range scary harsh even for my quite oily skin.

Oh thanks, that's useful. I might just try the standard type 3 then, without the anti blemish - I can trial that in a starter set. Cheers!
