Try a salicylic acid cleanser and a glycolic acid toner. The Ordinary glycolic toner is on offer in boots atm, but primark do one too which I saw a skincare person recommend the other day.
After cleansing and toning (glycolic toner only ONCE per day, and use a spf moisturiser afterwards in the day) use a niacinamide serum, that is great for unblocking pores, reducing oil and preventing blemishes. I use The Ordinary one under moisturiser morning and night.

As above get a salicylic face wash. La roche posey do a good one in a green/blue pump bottle which doesn’t dry your skin out.

I put up with lots of tiny spots round my mouth for ages. Nothing worked to get rid of them. Eventually went to the doctor, who said it was perioral dermatitis and gave me antibiotic cream. So if nothing helps, do consider seeing your GP. I was embarrassed about going, but it turned out to be the right call.
