best acne treatments?!? help please!?

well i dont have a lot of acne but i do breakout. im 20 and it comes and goes. its leaving marks. i wash with a bar soap and use alchohol pads from avon. it seems to work but not for long. is there something i can use that will last more then an hour and that will actually work? i don't want to go crazy with the name brands it could be as simple as a different bar soap(i use lever). i do know that some things work for some people and not others. i feel like im drying my skin and making it look older then it is. whats a more safer way to dry the skin and take the dirt and oil away without all the alchohol and intense creams? i notice i wash my face really good then use the clearskin pads and theres a lot of dirt it doesn't make sense..also i don't think my acne is bad enough for proactive but at times there is a lot mostly chin and cheeks it used to be forehead but not anymore...thanks in advance!! :)

How do I get rid of acne fast?

I have had a problem with acne for a while...I am 21 now and wash my face every morning and night with face wash. I also use Avon's acne medication and clearasil 4 hour treatment. I have tried many other things too...even proactive but can't seem to find anything that works and keeps the acne gone. I dont have the money to go to a dermatologist so please let me know anything that is inexpensive and works...even if it is something that you can find in your own home..Thanks..

Finally cleared pimples.. how do I treat scars?

I just recently got clear skin thanks to an Avon facewash, but I as wondering what I could do for the purple scars I have on my cheeks. they aren't the acne scars with the holes r anything. just a purple color that seems to show a lot when I use makeup. would regular scar treatment work for acne scars?? I can't spend a lotand I don't want to use a different facewash

What is the best acne skin care treatment?

What is the best skin care (acne) treatment? Pro Active? Or do I want to go get facials at a professional? Also is there anything I can do around the home (like rub sugar on your skin to get rid of the dry) that I could do that might improve my skin? HELP PLEASE!

Have any of you tried over-the-counter acne treatments that actually worked?

I had bad acne in high school. I tried everything and it wouldn't go away. In the past year since graduation, my face has been almost totally fine, just having one little blemish at a time, or a little more because of PMS. Right now, I'm just having a really hard time with it. I have about nine or ten bottles of different products that all have guarantees that they'll work, but none of them ever did. It just gets worse and worse, and eventually gets better on its own (eventually).

This morning, I got so frustrated that I actually cried (which is weird). I feel like, if I actually redeemed the guarantees on my all my acne treatments that didn't do a thing, I'd have enough money to see a dermatologist, but all the companies have people who make it impossible to get your money back. I've already tried Biore, Neutrogena, Mary Kay, Aloette, Clean & Clear, Acne Free, Oxy, Pond's and Avon. There are a couple more I forgot the names of.

My Mom went through a new age phase and her naturopath told her to never use the treatments from the TV because "they damage the spirit", so she freaks out if I even suggest Proactive. All of those treatments either don't work, or they don't work AND they dry out my face so bad that I look like a mummy.

It really doesn't look terrible right now, but my face feels like it's bruised all over because of things going on under the skin. It hurts to smile or make any sort of face, so I'm really ready for something that will actually work. Have any of you tried a product or home remedy that worked?

Also, just this past month, I started taking Ortho birth control pills. It says it's supposed to reduce the effects of pre-menstrual acne, but what I'm seeing is pre-menstrual acne all month long. Is there any chance the pills are making it worse?
