[Routine Help] My face is pissing me off

Routine Help

I don't know a lot about what I'm saying but here we go:

About a year ago I started trying to take care of my face. Before that I never washed it, just with water and I'd wear sunscreen on it every morning - random ones, whatever was on sale usually. My face was clear except a couple big pimples to announce my period was coming and some dark spots on my temples from high school acne. Since I've started trying routines and washing my face daily it has looked worse than ever and it's pissing me off!

What my face is now:

My t zone is oily and has the things that every blackhead mask add advertises as black heads but I've learned are probably SF? is that the write word, idk. They look Look like large darkish pores. Also my tzone has tiny colorless bumps all over. I'll get the occasional pimples on my chin. The rest of my face isn't really dry so I guess it's normal but I have pimples, white heads and red/pink bumps along my cheek line and my temples. the red bumps will eventually become flat and kind of stay forever just faded into dark spots. The skin under my eyes Is usually dark as well.

First things I started doing to my face ( I guess what caused everything to get worse):

Daily routine morning and night: Naturtonix exfoliating cleanser ACV/water Clearasil 5 in 1 lotion

Recently I've tried:

cetaphil wash-tried for a while and no difference at all to my face but didn't take it worse Olay complete moisturizer- just started for the SPF in the morning cocoa butter stretch mark cream on my face- definitely not making things worse but my face feels so thick and like it can't breathe with it on, I can only tolerate it under my eyes at night but not seeing a difference in darkness Aveeno smart essentials- burned my face Neutrogena oil free mouisture with SPF- burned my face( in the past it didn't but now it does) Queen Helene mint Julip mask- doesn't really seem to be doing anything

What I really want is a super simple routine that will have my face lookin young and mostly feeling good to me again! please help with a routine, all suggestions very appreciated!!
