Water definitely helps cleanse the body, including pores. ProActiv or Murad have been successful for many (which is why we sell it on our site) but like the previous post mentioned and as I always do, everyone is different.
We may be grouped together at times, but each person's checmical balancing act puts our skin in a fairly unique situation. Like you said you are taking other medications and since the skin is the largest organ, about anything we put in the body, including food effects the treatments.
Be careful not to be in too much haste. You don't want to do anything too drastic. Basic cleansing helps wonders when the skin has been through the trama you have recently had to endure.
Products with alcohols have a temporary clearing ability but many times closes pores (which is why the face looks clear for a bit) but this locks things in as well attributing to further breakouts.
Drink lots of water, cleanse the face several times a day with water and a warm washcloth (to remove dirt) and slightly pat dry. This at minimum will give you a fresh base if you begin to test out new products.
Let us know how it goes!
