There are natural ways to deeply clean your face, of course, but if you choose to buy a product from the shelves, look for the terms 'oil-free' and 'non-comedogenic' (which means 'non-breakouts aggravating'). The product must be mild, must not irritate and must not dry your skin so, when you read the description, make sure it confirms that, even if it uses slightly different expressions.
Some people use scrubs or similar types of products. There is some use for these but, unless it's done by a professional, I would stay away from them, especially if you suffer from inflammatory breakouts (the ones accompanied by redness), for the same reason mentioned above: to avoid further irritation to the skin.
Avoid washing your face too often because, by doing this, not only do you run the risk to irritate your skin further, but you are also depleting it of its natural defences. Remember that dirt 'per se' does not cause acne so, even if you wash your face all the time, you will not get rid of any pimples. The only reason why you would wash your face is to remove excess dirt (say from pollution) or, in the case of breakouts sufferers, to prepare it (as it's often the case) before applying any medical or natural treatment against the spots themselves. Let's not forget that your skin is 'programmed' to maintain itself and that most of the 'work' to keep your skin in great condition is from 'within', not from the outside. So, watch what you eat, make sure you give your skin the appropriate nutrition every day (use supplements whenever indicated) and prevent anything that can create imbalances.
Use your pre-washed hands (don't use abrasive material of any kind nor other material, because you may be too 'rough' on it without realizing it) and don't rub dry your skin (just gently pat dry it).
You are now ready to apply the medications (or the natural treatment) of your choice. Before you do, make sure you understand the product; if you can't speak to a dermatologist, read online reviews and as much as you can to find out what's best for you.
