Well.....acne is a big problem specially for teens as it also create psychological problems in youths (I was also a long time sufferer!!). First, lets know a bit about it.
Acne is caused by either excessive androgens(sex hormones) or unusual response of skin-glands(sebaceous gland) for normal level of androgens. The excessive sebum(oil) secretion and dead skin cells block the ducts of the glands and lead to acne.
There are quite a few myths about acne. Recent research has proved that most of these myths are wrong.
Research shows that there is hardly any effect of type of food you eat (chocolate, oily, fried, spicy or whatever type). After experiments scientists have unable to prove if food has either positive or negative effect on acne and they recommend that you can experiment your own to see what food suits you!!!!
The other misconception is acne is caused by dirt and its good to vigorously clean your skin many times a day. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Acne is caused by blockage in the duct of a skin gland. This duct lies quite deep in the skin and you can't wash that duct. In fact you can make the condition worse by excessive washing as it can damage/overdry the outer layer of the skin.
SO WASHING THE FACE GENTLY, ONCE/TWICE A DAY, WITH A MILD SOAP IF ENOUGH.
Some believe acne is caused by masturbation. There is evidence in favor of this myth.
If you are really fed-up with acne, the best advice is to discuss with a dermatologist. There are many topical preparation available which can definitely make a difference.
Some of the famous preparations are topical retinoids, benzoyl-peroxide, topical antibiotics like erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline. But you must consult a dermatologist before using them.
There are many home made remedies suggested for acne, but there is no scientific-evidence either in favor or against them.
There is a lot of talk about laser treatment. But its still a grey-area. There are concerns that it may cause hyperpigmentation (black-spots) and long term dry skin. It is still an area of debate. So do a thorough research and gather information before you decide about any laser-treatment.
REMEMBER......any treatment will take time so have patience. It usually take 6-8 weeks to see initial results. If you don't see any improvement its time to readjust the treatment.
Not one treatment is universal for everyone, different persons respond differently to same treatment.
I hope it was useful. See following links for more details.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal

6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.
Source:
A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
