Will these acne treatments work together and clear up my acne?

Noxzema Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash ( Contains Salicylic Acid)

Sea Breeze Sensitive Skin Astringent ( Contains Benzoic Acid)

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel ( Contains Salicylic Acid)

Will these products work together to clear up my acne? The reason I ask is two products contain Salicylic acid and one product contains Benzoic Acid. I want to know if the two acids will work together to clear up my acne. Is it safe to use both Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid in an acne treatment?

How can I get rid of acne?

I have really bad acne. I know how teens are supposed to get acne but mine is really bad. My friends get minimal blackheads and single zits sometimes but they just have to put ice on them to make it go away. I get whiteheads all over my face, back, chest, and upper legs. When I first started to get acne I used a generic cleanser and moisturizer to maintain a healthy complexion. Then the acne started to come more, and more and I added an on-the-spot medication to target the zits. That didn't seem to work because they just kept coming.
So far, I have used Stridex pads, products from Mary Kay: deep cleanser, moisturizer, blemish control toner, and acne treatment medication lotion, Proactiv: renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner, repairing lotion, daily oil control, oil free moisturizer, and the revitalizing mask, and some Biore products: blemish control toner, foaming cleanser, and exfoliating soap. None of them seemed to work.
I am currently using the Biore products. They felt like they were fighting the breakouts and made my face softer but zits still come regularly all over my face. I skipped one day and had my worst breakout ever.
I recently saw an ad for an improved Proactiv. I only gave the regular proactiv a couple months and it didn't work for me. Should I try out?

I really need help. I get teased because of my problem all the time. I am trying to eat healthy and I really need to drink water more. If there is any product that you recommend for a girl who has a serious whitehead problem, please tell me! I dont get any other kinds of breakouts, just whiteheads all over my body. Also give me any advice to have healthy skin. Thank you! :(

PLEASE HELP!!! I need to get rid of acne in a week!?

I'm in a wedding next Saturday (just over a week from now) and it's the week before my period and as usual, I'm starting to break out horribly! I know from experience that it won't go away on its own before next Saturday, and I just can't seem to figure out what to do!

I'm looking for advice on spot treatments, masks, etc that I can try. I'm unable to get a facial or see a dermatologist, so any at-home solutions would be greatly appreciated!

I currently wash with Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask (3.5% benzoyl peroxide) in the morning and Noxzema Clean Blemish Control foaming wash (1% salicylic acid) in the evening.
I use the Neutrogena Cleanser/Mask as a Mask about once or twice a week.

It's the best combination I've ever tried.....but NOTHING prevents the pizza-face that happens once a month. :(
I sleep plenty, follow a healthy vegetarian diet, drink enough water, and I smile a lot. It's worked well for me so far, but I'm looking for a quicker fix ;)

I haven't heard about using calamine lotion before, but I'll definitely try it! Between that and the steaming, hopefully my skin will improve soon. :)

I used witch hazel for a couple of months, and it didn't seem to do anything extra for my skin, but I'll try it again! I totally remember what it's like to live in a humid climate....I grew up in one. I live in a dry place now, which I think helps, it's just an awful transition when I have to go to a humid place because it messes with my skin AND hair! Which reminds me, the wedding's in a humid place..... I hope all this advice works!

Sorry, 9 out of 10 people agree that paper bags are uglier than my face. Also, peanut butter? Sounds more tasty than useful, but I'll look into it... I forgot about the toothpaste thing, I'll definitely try that. Thanks for the quick responses so far!
I've tried ProActive.... The irritation turned my pizza face into a bumpy lobster face.

I used AcneFree for over a year, and it didn't work for me. :( But thanks for trying, I appreciate it :)

Please read this and help at all if you can. Forehead breaking out.

I think I've gotten my breakouts under control with St. Ives Apricot Cleanser, Olive Cleanser, and Apricot Scrub for Blackhead & Blemish Control. The only problem is that I have like 3 lines on the right side of my forehead that have clogged pores I guess. They're not pimples with head, it's just a raised bump that does seem to have a little pus or something. Is there anything I could do in addition to help that go away or does anyone else have anything like that? And should I use more like acne spot treatments or bio-oil/neosporin type thing?

Thank you sooo much!
