Extra Strength Proactiv or Acne Free Severe to Clear?

I have been using proactiv for two months now...and no change. Should I switch to the extra strength formula kit? Or should i use the Acne Free Severe to Clear kit from the drugstore? I had tried the normal Acne Free acne kit last sumer, and it irritated my skin and I had to stop it before it could really start to work, but I didn't use a moisturizer with it and was in the sun a lot. Now I moisturize with spf like crazy so proactiv hasn't irritated my skin, and i'm thinking Acne Free won't either if i continue to moisturize. So from experience, would you recommend Proactiv Extra Strength, or Acne Free Severe to Clear??

What over the counter cleanser helps with adult acne?

Alright, my husband used to see a dermatologist for his adult acne. Since he joined the military, the Army dermatologists have totally messed up his skin. They took him off of the antibiotics that were working and put him on something else. It totally irritated his skin and so he stopped treatment altogether. Does anyone out there know of a good over the counter cleanser and/or acne kit that works on this kind of acne?

Skin help…acne AND a rash =(?

Sooo...I have had acne for 3-4 years now.
I don't know if you'd call it "severe" or everything, sometimes my face looks really bad, like 10 pimples...other times like 2.
I've tried everything to get rid of it.... I spend SO much time washing my face; you'd think I'd have perfect skin. But the thing is, no matter how much I clean my face, it's NEVER completely clear.
So…let’s see….
I've tried Clean & Clear Advance acne kit, Proactive, Acne Free kit, Clean & Clear spot treatment, I've tried Neutrogena, I've tried ALL the generic stuff...I've tried literally all the combinations I could make from the stuff in the kits. I've tried literally every face wash they carry at Wal-Mart and CVS.
I wash my face everyday (at least 3 times). I shower everyday (and at night too--even thought it'd be easier for me to in the morning, I've figured it's better to shower after the day is over and sleep clean, then it would if I lied in bed all night dirty--yes I put *that* much thought and effort into this).
I've tried toothpaste. I've tried crushed up aspirin, I've tried lemons. I've tried apple cider vinegar. I've tried cucumber face masks.
…I use to sleep on my side/stomach...I now sleep uncomfortably on my back ( I have to sleep in like the crack of my bed so I don't roll over >.>) so that my face doesn't touch the pillow.
I force myself to drink bottles of water all day long. I haven't had a sip of soda in 2 years. I've been avoiding eating anything man made, I pretty much live off of salad, I don't even use dressing, Y_Y. I don’t even where any kind of skin make-up or blush.

Point is, I’ve tried EVERYTHING.
And like, this week, my face basically exploded. My face is always red, and my pimples leave bad marks. Not only that, but I have pimples on my face that won’t go away…they're not red/ a scar...the skin just grows on top of the pimple, so it's liek a bump on my skin, (DISGUSTING I know T_T).

So nowwww, on Monday, I woke up with a horribleee rash on my face. Like, blots of my face are all red and puffy and like oily. It hurts too. Other parts of my skin aren’t red, but it’s realllly bumpy and dry.

So, I haven’t put anything on my face for three days. I’m really at my wits end. I really don’t feel comfortable in my skin at all. Last night, I basically bawled for an hour because my face looks so bad.
Like, I've been dressing in gray lately and I've been avoiding talking to people face-to-face, because my face looks so bad.

I really don’t know what to do =(
I have no idea where the rash came from.
I have NO ideas left on how to get rid of my acne.
I don't know what I'm doing wonggg. Urgh.

So, please, PLEASE, ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you.

What is the best affordable acne treatment?

I'm a 14 year old light brown indian boy, and I've used a few different acne treatments, but it was epic fail. I used Clearasil, Neutragena acne kit (that shit is 20 bucks) and the other over the counter shit.

I want to get rid of the acne, because it's huge and sometimes, it gets so big my friends are like "Pop the pimple" but I know I shouldn't...

I used shaving cream and tooth paste, but it was not working either.

Any ideas?

What acne system works best for oily skin?

I have had acne since I was 10 years old. It just wont go away! My pimples are on my forehead, temples,chin, upper lip,nose, and the worst place they are on is my cheeks. I have oily skin with tons of pimples. I have used so many systems that helped just a little bit: Clerasil, Neutrogena Clean and Clear Acne Kit, and Proactiv. I am thinking of trying either Neutrogena Skin ID or Exposed Acne Treatment, but they are both over . What are acne systems that work, but are under ?
