im 15 and have acne, how can i get rid of it i have tried everything! and dont know what to use!?

i am 15 and going into 10th grade, i wouldn't say i have Horrible acne but i definitely wouldn't say i don't have any ! because that is not true. I have tried everything, from proactive, to dermatologist recommend treatment. and right now i am using neutrogena acne pads, they work alright but i cant get rid of all of it ! ! i obviously don't have a job and cant afford any acne products that are expensive, i would just like to know what would help my acne, and blackheads, And if there is any home remedies what would also help me
i am a female
i have used pills, from the dermo, those helped alot ! but no longer use them because they cost like 400$!!!

how do i get rid of these horrible blackheads?

have a bunch of horrible blackheads on my face back and chest. i don't really get pimples and when i do they're small. but these blackheads are really bad. i'm 12 but thank god no one really notices them. there are tons on my forehead, nose, chest, and back. i don't know what to do. i've tried so many things:
clearasil acne treatment cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide
clearasil acne pads with sacyclic acid
noxzema
aveeno clear compexion face wash
aceeno skin brightening scrub
st. ives apricot scrub
biore pore strips
neutrogena pink grapefruit scrub
even home remedies like:
yogurt for 20 mintues
massaging olive oil into my face
lemon juice
onions
patting tomatoes on my face
even mixing salt and water together and patting that on my face
and using toothpaste

None of these really worked! now i'm just using dial soap and some of my brother's perscribed benzaclin gel. its seems to work but i'm waiting to go to the dermatologist myself. my mom always forgets to make the appoinment though so i don't see it happening soon :/ i've had this since i turned 9 and almost nothing has worked! don't give me any home remedies or expensive products like Murad or proactiv or those home remedies like toothpaste please. just products you're sure that are absolutely garunteed to work but aren't expensive. i'll use something within the range of 10-15 dollars or less nothing higher cause i don't get much of an allowance anyways.
no links plz because they are slow when i try to open them on my computer.
i do pop them but they always seemed to get worse while i did that so now i just leave them alone...

What are some good treatments for acne?

I've tried all sorts of stuff-- from proactiv and university medical to oxy 10 to cotton acne pads (salicylic acid) and nothing seems to work, even when I really stick to it. Is there anything else I should be trying? What works really well to clear up acne?

Anyone have a GOOD home remedy for blackheads?

I guess they are pretty bad. I want them to go away before the end of august. I wash my face very day and use noxema acne pads on them. Any help is appreciated ALOT.
ok, ok. I guess not all of them will go away. How about remedies/meds to get rid of some of the worst blackheads? I know I'm not supposed to pick at them, but it seems squeezing them gets rid of the worst ones. Oi, help me!
