I hear and I've seen that Proactiv Solution works well for people who can't get rid of zits any other way. See website included in source.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Ok so everyone says proactive. but that wasnt strong enough for me. I used toothpaste. Put it on the spot at night and wash it off in the morning. Use a basic face wash every day and once a week wash your face with dandruff shampoo(selsun blue). Use a face mask as well once every week or two. Try to keep your hair out of your face and try to not touch your face to much. You'll get oil in your skin and clog your pores. I did this all not religiously but pretty much every day and my skin cleared up in a couple days, and trust me I had really bad acne. And now i only get the occasional pimple.

For individual zits, try toothpaste. Put a dime sized amount of toothpaste on it overnight. It clears them up every time. But make sure it's paste and not the gel kind of toothpaste.

I know that you think that the commercial for ProActiv is a bunch of crap, but it is the best that I have found. You just can't put on a lot of the lotion, because it dries out your skin!!! Good Luck!!

Make an appointment with a dermatologist. You can get some prescription medication that'll work.
