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!

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!
