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!

first of all, it's ok, everyone gets pimples!
you sound so helpless and cute how you keep saying please and it makes me sad!
how long did you try pro active for? you should try it for at least 2 weeks, to see a little improvement i think. if that didn't work, talk to mom and tell her to sign up for an appointment to go to a dermatologist and they'll get you subscription.
but really, everyone gets pimples! most people look at your eyes anyways when they are talking to you, not your mouth.
i know how you feel though, once i got 2 pimples around my mouth... and i was totally self concious that people thought i was a dirty s lut or something.
good luck :o)

try accutane.
its a persciption medication for acne that works like a dream. of course, you'd get the occasional break out but it will in general maintain your skin clear. You've gotta stick to this medication so dont like take it for a month and then decide to stop just because your skin is cleared up.

If proactive didn't work, you need to see a dermatologist. They can give you antibiotics or other pills to clear it up.
