I know most people are going to say purchase Proactiv, but everybody has different skin complexions, and proactiv isnt always going to work. Is there anything that will for sure rid me of acne, or at least lessen the amount of pimples?

there are heaps of products you can buy from the pharmacy......but cleaning your face with warm salt water twice daily (morning and night) or regularly heading off to the beach will help heaps......its natural and heaps cheaper than the creams you can buy....

The "old school" advice was to modify your diet and eliminate excessive sugars and sweets.
Whether that still holds true or not, IDK...I was SO lucky to never get acne unless it was "that time of the month" and even then, it was never a huge issue.
Focus on better facial care...exfoliant scrubs work wonders, but they can hurt...believe it or not, go to a store like Bath and Body works and see what they recommend as a Proactiv alternative.

It all depends on the type of acne you have.
Acne Treatments
Acne is treated differently at different stages. In the beginning, plain benzoyl peroxide may work, while at the later stages you may have to take isotretinoin. While treating acne, the objective of doctors is to prevent scarring and curing acne as soon as possible. To make an informed decision, know more about different acne medications and procedures that can be used to treat acne. Remember that you need not suffer acne and wait for it to go. You can get treated at any stage successfully. more-

Tea tree oil. The stuff is awesome - works on acne as well as cuts and scrapes. :) Wash your face before bed and apply the oil to each zit. Do this in the morning also.

There are some excellent, and fairly new acne pills that actually clear acne through precise combinations of herbal compounds and pure, natural ingredients. These acne pills have been used as very successful, and often times permanent, remedies to clear acne on both adults and adolescents.
How do acne pills work? Acne pills actually work by correcting the hormonal and chemical imbalances in the body that lead to acne flareups, persistent acne, and the more severe form, cystic acne. People suffering from cystic acne can really benefit from a natural acne pill, since they are designed to treat acne at it's source, from the inside of the body, rather than topically. Cystic acne sufferers really tend to have hormonal issues, which acne pills address by "calming", soothing and balancing.
Some of the common ingredients in these complexion-clearing acne pills are actually known in herbal communities for their skin soothing and "calming" properties, and have commonly been used to treat various skin disorders in the past. Natural acne pills actually blend several of these ingredients together in precise combinations to effectively clear acne permanently, or with very little follow up treatment.
Let's look at some of the common skin clearing and therapeutic herbs and compounds that are found in an acne pill. First, vitamin E is a common ingredient. Vitamin E has been used as a skin soothing and repairing agent for decades. Vitamin E actually will help smooth rough skin when taken in the proper dosages, and actually helps facilitate the clearing of acne in combination with other ingredients.
A second common ingredient in the acne pill is aloe vera. Aloe vera actually has many of the same skin soothing properties and advantages as vitamin E. I'm sure you've used aloe vera at least a couple times to treat sunburn or irritated skin. Aloe vera seemed to be a staple in everyone's home growing up for it's skin repairing benefits.
Two more ingredients you may find in an acne pill are alpha lipoic acid and collagen, both of which are actually beneficial for both aging skin and skin suffering from disorders such as acne or acne rosacea. Alpha lipoic acid is gaining a lot of recognition in recent years, especially with the publication and advocation of popular cosmetic dermatologist Nicholas Perricone in his book The Perricone Prescription and other popular follow up books on how to stop and reverse the aging process of the skin.
Other skin cleansing, purifying and balancing ingredients botanicals found in the acne pill are chamomile, rosemary, rose essential oil, and horsetail, all traditionally used to clear, tone and purify the skin for the most blemish-free complexion possible, even back as far as the early 1800's.
The bottom line is, I highly recommend investing in either a natural acne system that combines topical treatment with an oral acne pill or just investing in a natural acne pill that is high in purity standards and has a good track record of customer satisfaction. These treatments have proven to be just as effective as many of the often long-term and sometimes harmful treatments dermatologists prescribe. Not only that, you can order them from the comfort of your own home, and don't need to be burdened by dermatologist visits, or repetitive costs. It is truly one of the best investments you can make in your skin!
