Though there are ample number of medicines available for acne and oily skin according to type of skin and severity of acne but for time being you can start with simple & effective, adapalene and clindamycin gel like deriva cms gel in the evening. Wash your face at least twice a day. Avoid oily products on face. If no significant improvement in 7 days then send me your photos on private consultation for detailed discussion.
