try applying a mask of pure honey over your face. or wash your face with salt scrub [salt and water] it removes excess oil and dirt deep within your pores. you can also cut fresh aloe and stick it over you zits for a few minutes. ginger dries up acne too, if you hold it over the zit long enough.

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.

Proactive can work on some people; it really depends on how sensitive your skin is. We have found that Acne Free has worked the best. Everyone we know has used this and has had no problems. People do not believe this when I say it, but if you try this one time you will see why I say do this; clean your face once a month with rubbing alcohol and this helps with acne. The first time you clean your face with this you will see just how filthy your face is even though you washed it thouroghly while taking a bath. You will not believe how much dirt actually comes off of your face. Just try it one time and you will see!!

I bought Proactive about a month ago and I didnt have horrible acne either but a few blemishes. Yeah it seemed to clear my face up, the only problem was that it dried up my face terribly. So I suggest if you do get it, put a hydrating face cream on after the treatment.

I've not tried proactive myself, but I have a good tip if you don't know which treatments work. Many manufacturers do trials; maybe a week or months worth. So I'd suggest you try some of these out so you know which treatment works for you.
Here are a couple of trials:
