How do I lose weight and get rid of acne?

I'm 15 years old, 5'2" and I weigh 134 pounds. I have a serious acne problem, and although I'm happy with WHO I am, I'd like to look as beautiful as I possibly can. I have low self-esteem so I'm just hoping that losing the weight and clearing up my face will make my mom stop calling me disgusting and will make me feel more pretty.
Thank you! c:

Does Proactive acne treatment work?

I have a mild acne problem, nothing too serious. All my friends do not though. I have really bad skin, I use Nuetrogena Rapid Clear right now but it doesn't work. Then I also use an Avon brand spot treatment which seems to make it worse. HELP. It even started happening on my back also. It is really embarrassing.

What are some facial products that are really effective on acne?

I have dry combination skin. My T-zones are oily. I have a acne problem when I eat a lot of junk. I'm 14 so I'm going through puberty still. I got my first period already and everything.

When I break out,which is pretty frequently, the pimples always get big and red and they hurt. I have a lot of post-acne marks and I mean A LOT. I hate breaking out because I used to get teased a lot.

The problem is I love clinique's acne solutions but it's expensive (sad face).
I hate the proactive. The only thing I like from proactive is the refining mask.
I have already tried neutrogena's acne system.
I've tried St. Ives
I need something without parabens or any other bad ingredients.
My skin is somewhat sensitive. It needs moisture but it's oily in the T-zone.

So I need a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and spot treatment.
I want something that you or somebody you know has tried. And something that is not some unheard-of generic product because I don't trust them and I want something easy to find.

Why is the my nose and the area around it so oily? any good products to help this?

Im in my early teens. I dont really have an acne problem, just a pimple or two around the time of my period, but i have persistent blackheads on my nose. Also, the area around it is oily. Why? The rest of my skin is normal. Any products or home remedies you'd recommend of getting rid of the oiliness and blackhead?

So much acne on forehead. How can i cure it?

I have so many acne on my forehead. It's actually frustrating because i only have them on my forehead and not in any part of my face. I get pimples here and there but they are usually gone in 2-3 days but the acne around my face never go away. If a pimple is gone on my forehead, another one appears. It's really frustrating. My forehead is the only oily part of my face, the others are compleately fine and clear.
I have tiny hairs (kind of like the hairs you would see on your arms) in my forehead (way outside my hairline) and was thinking of waxing them off because i thought they are the ones giving me the problem. I shaved them off before i got the acne problem and i think shaving them was one if the reason why i started breaking out in my forehead.
I have medium length hair and side bangs. I don't think the bangs are the cause of this because i got them way before i even got the bangs. And i always tie my bangs back whenever i'm at home. And the acne grows everywhere and not just around ky bangs. I'm a girl btw.
I cleanse my face twice a day with Vichy facial cleanser. Use clean and clear blackhead/acne treatmen toner after. Then put on Aveeno Daily moisturizer with spf 15 after. I use covergirl pressed powder everytime i go out but only around my nose and cheeks. Never on my forehead because the acne might get worse.
If anyone can help me that will be really great because i have had this problem for 1 year now and i really want to get rid of them. Thank you!!!

What's the best way to keep your face clear?

I've never really had an acne problem or anything. When I do get zits, which seems to be more often, they're pretty big. Also, I've got alot of blackheads on my nose, and I've got a couple on my forehead and chin as well. I've tried pore strips and blackhead clearing scrubs and all of that kind of stuff. What's the best way to keep my face clear? What good products are out there?

Effective Acne Treatment?

I've always suffered from a pretty moderate acne problem, but it's never really bothered me too much. But lately I've been having worse breakouts and it's affecting all of my face. I'm using this Neutrogena cream stuff but it doesn't seem to be helping much.

Can anyone tell me how I can prevent breakouts like less soda or something like that? Also if you know of any face washes or homemade remedies that can help me, please let me know!

Thanks :)

What is a good skin care routine for me that is simple and fairly cheap.?

I've never had a terrible acne problem. Im a typical oily skin occasional breakout and blackhead thirteen year old. My skin is a tad oily under my eyes. But it is really oily in between my nose and cheeks but not on my cheeks. I have terrible black heads too. What is something that keeps my skin clean,fresh,and acne-less without drying it out so bad.

Which Acne Cleanser/Wash would work better?

I have been using the Clean & Clear Advantage 3 in 1 Exfoliating Cleanser because I know a few people with clear skin who use it. I have been using it for a few months twice a day and I don't see any results. It has 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. My main acne problem is blackheads and I heard that Benzoyl Peroxide is much better than Sacilyc Acid at getting rid of blackheads. I don't think that 5% Benzoyl Peroxide is strong enough for me so I found two products with 10%. I am kind of worried that it will overly dry out my skin, so what is a very moisterizing oil-free moisterizer also?
These are the products:

PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Maximum Strength

Are these products effective? If, so which is more effective?
