[Routine Help] Trying to fix my acne; no routine has ever worked for me

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have lurked for awhile, but am finally pulling up the courage to ask for help.Here's the problem. My face is driving me crazy! Here's a picture of what it looks like normally: http://imgur.com/pBl5BX7 . I've been trying for over a year now to shrink my pores, lighten my dark circles, and get rid of my blemishes. (My skin "type" is oily.)I've tried proactiv (disastrous), I've tried multiple foam cleansers (TheFaceShop, Aveeno, and L'oreal's Revitalift are the ones I've used for 6 month periods a piece for the past year-ish), I've tried topical acne products (acnevir was the only thing that /kind/ of worked). I used toner (Simple's Micellar Water) and didn't use toner. I used moisturizers (Etude House's Moistfull, L'oreal SPF15 face lotion, Clean & Clear face lotion all at separate times). I tried a serum (L'oreal Revitalift). I even tried oil cleansing by itself for about a week with the little sample of oil I'd gotten from TheFaceShop. All of it has done very little. I still get (real) blackheads, my sebaceous filaments are still dark, my pores haven't changed and, even when there aren't any pimples, there's like this underlying redness (you can see it on the sides of my face in the picture).All of the things I've tried over the past twelve months or so I introduced slowly (I didn't patch test but if I ever had something that made my skin feel bad [proactiv] I stopped using it immediately). I'm a poor grad student in the US so I try to stay in the drugstore pricing range of things. My routine (right now) goes something like AM: Cleanse (L'Oreal Revitalift) Acne prevention (Acnevir) Moisturizer: Clean & Clear Makeup: sometimes (but not in the past few weeks because I was trying to see if that's what was causing the irritants)PM: Cleanse Acne Serum: L'Oreal's RevitaliftReally, I'm just desperate for advice. :/
