It looks like you're off to a good start, @RonTaylor. I'd recommend adding in a good sunscreen before you get to treatments so you can keep your skin protected. You may want to check out COOLA Mineral Sun Silk Crème SPF 30 1.5 oz/ 44 mL MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème Broad Spectrum SPF 50 UVA-UVB Sunscreen 4 oz/ 113 g or Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ 

Once you have that in place, a good ingredient to start with in battling acne is BHA/salicylic acid. There are lots of popular products of various strengths depending on your skin's needs- CosRx BHA Blackhead, Paula's Choice Mini Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 1 oz/ 30 mL, SEPHORA COLLECTION Clarifying Peel Pads 60 Pads
