Blackhead clearing?!?!!??!?

Alright...So, I have had ance since i was like, 8. I recently started using ProActive, and it got rid of the acne on my forehead, but not my blackheads. I have tried soooo many products on my face, bu tthey won't go away. Here's what I've been using for the past 5 o6 years, not at the same time of course, but you know;
ProActive
Clean and clear advantage acne solutions
clean and clear deep cleansing wash
Differin
Clindagel
those Biore clearing strips
various mud masks
clean and clear morning burst
Purpose (gel wash and bar)
Basis bar
a few st.Ives face scubs

What will really take them away? The stuff I used to use made my face burn even when it touched my pillow, and it still never helped? Does the ProActive blackhead stuff work (do they even have any?)? Do those vibrating things work?
thank you!
I've been to a dermatoligist, twice. They just put me on Differin, which i used for 4 used. It u=just made me cry everytime something touched my face, thats it.
lol, sorry:
they put me on Differin, which i used for 4 years. It just hurt.

Is laser-type treatment for slight small acne OK?

I'm 47 and am on mental health meds, which cause acne. The amoxicillin that my dermatoligist prescribed got rid of the back acne (bacne). However, there were small amounts of acne-like spots on my forehead area. My dermatoligist treated them with some sort of device that shocked the acne and he said to leave it alone, these small acnes - some were like little warts that won't go away with benzoyl peroxide. He said in a few days the treated areas will peel. Has anyone had this treatment? What exactly is it called? The small acnes on my forehead were stubborn so he said these treatments would help. I had no acne when in my twenties and was young but have it now from the meds...

When will my acne go away?

I have had acne since i was nine, and severe acne since i was 10, and i am eleven right now. I have tried Benzaclin, Zapzyt, all of the proactive products, and in the shower i use cleasil face wash, and nutrogena face wash. i have also used oxy pads, and clearasil pads which burn very bad. None of these products worked. i have recently asked my mom about visiting a dermatoligist and she said she would schedule an appointment. I feel like I am maturing alot faster than alot of my friends, and i am 5'10 and i weigh 155 pounds.

So my question is, when will my acne go away? And should i cut down on all my treatments and use a specific brand? And also will my acne be gone earlier, or when other kids are getting acne?

i feel it hurting my confidence, and the first day of middle school is the second of september. i dont think anyone will really make fun of me, because of my size.
No one really sees where the majority of the pimples are, my forehead, because i have long hair for that purpose. i always have to put my hand down on my hair when it is windy to avoid people seeing my forehead, where there is barely an inch of skin that is not acne. feel free to add tips to treat my acne. :)

How to cover up my acne?

I take school pictures in 2 days! I'm freaking out because I have a lot of acne. I am very faithful about my skin care regimen. I use a spot treatment and everything!

I do use foundation,but not everyday. However, I need to know how to cover up my acne without my makeup being too cakey, because it seems like I either have light makeup with visible acne, or a lot of makeup with just bumps!

I'm just really upset because nothing I try works, and my mom said maybe she will take me to a dermatoligist in a few months, but that doesn't help for my pictures that I take in two days!

Or do you know any home remedies or anything that will make my acne less noticeable?
