You can do a search under BHA exfoliants here to find recommendations at various price points:

Salicylic acid is the only thing that exfoliates the interior walls of pores. That's why dermatologists recommend it for blackheads.

You can google oil cleansing to see what people say about it. Since your skin is oily, I would probably use another cleanser afterward.

A bit of tea tree oil is excellent for break outs, but you have to be careful not to use too much.
