Start on the inside -
1] avoid all fried, fast, and junk food - even diet junk food. No preserved meats, no sweets, no chips, no crackers.
2] drink 1/2 gallon of water a day
3] take a quality mutivitamin with minerals every day
4] buy a face wash, toner, sunscreen, and moisturizer for your skin type [ normal, combination, dry, sensitive, oily ]
5] wash[ with face wash and water ], tone, and sunscreen in AM; wash [ with face wash and water ], tone, and moisturize in PM.
6] apply acne gel or cream to spots
7] exfoliate with Aapri or St. Ives apricot scrub every day first two weeks, then every other day [ acne will get worse at first
because you are getting rid of so much dead skin ]
8] keep hands and hair off face
9] do some aerobic exercise for 30 minutes at least three times a week

I think the answer diffidently is to go to a dermatologist and get a prescription acne medication, use this daily (or however often your doc tells you to). As for face wash just use one that prevent future breakouts and wash your face twice a day. Also use an oil free moisturizer. It takes a while to clear up acne but if you keep up a good skin care routine it will go away.

The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

Um i get them sometimes just make sure your using gentle stuff i use the ahava dermud dead sea stuff it works great just stay away from anything with the peroxide in it it over dries and increases sebum production in the long run. Gentle is teh key

My son used a product called "Nature's Cure" - he had previously tried everything and buying this was a last chance kind of thing. But, honestly, in two weeks his skin cleared up. Give it a try!
