Go to a dermatologist. Or, if you want over the counter stuff, get Proactiv. It works great.

Mild acne consists of small lesions, such as blackheads, whiteheads or pustules, which appear at or near the surface of the skin. As such, mild cases of acne can sometimes be controlled at home by:
*
Gently washing the affected area(s) with warm water and a mild soap twice a day to remove dead skin cells and excess oil
*
Using a topical (applied to the skin) over-the-counter acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid
*
Following the Acne Skin Care Guidelines
Most mild acne can be controlled by gently washing the affected area(s) and using a topical preparation, such as benzoyl peroxide.

At-home treatment requires 4-8 weeks to see improvement. Once acne clears, treatment must be continued to prevent new lesions from forming.
Even mild cases of acne may require the help of a dermatologist. If the acne does not respond to at-home treatment, a dermatologist can assess the situation and determine an appropriate therapy. In these cases, combination therapy (two or more treatments) may be used. Combination therapy may include use of a prescription topical antimicrobial or topical retinoid. These prescription topicals can be
very effective in clearing mild acne

I used to have the same problem. Now I use Proactive. That stuff works great! I have clear skin now and I haven't had clear skin since around the 7th grade and I'm in my 30's now.

I spend 4 years with a Dermatologist trying EVERYTHING to get rid of my acne; he then prescribed Accutane and it went away in about 2 months with NO signs of ever having it!
I totally recommend Accutane if you don't have health problems.

She is right. The best solution would be a facial peel at the dermatologist's office, but the next best thing is Proactiv.

try apply salt to ur cheeks, chin, nose, forhead! this will clean out ur pores, clear dead skin cells, remove any peeling skin, remove most of ur blackheads, & hopefully after a while remove ur acne!
i dunno but it might just remove red spots on the skin i dunno, if not try aloe verra cream stuff!
the salt is used pefore u apply ur acne treat meant!
before u go to sleep & after u apply ur normal acne treat meant, apply toothpaste to u skin and let it sit on ur skin the rest of the night!
try to let ur face get as much oxygen as u can allow it!

I know what you mean...Unfortunately it takes time but I use the following and it helped faster. It's costly though.
