How do I get rid of my acne?

I don't have very bad acne - mostly just blackheads on my cheeks, forehead, nose, and sometimes chin. I'm allergic to Clearasil Ultra Acne Cream; it reddens my acne and makes it stand out more. Clearasil Daily Face Wash doesn't seem to have any effect, nor does Proactiv Sulfur Face Mask (or whatever it's called). An oxygenating cleanser from a skin care specialist doesn't do anything either. The skin on my face is kind of dry. So should I try Neutrogena or Proactiv or see a dermatologist or what? (Also, I've tried Visine to cover up the acne as suggested by magazines but it doesn't work either.) I'm a 13 year old girl by the way.

What's the BEST product by Proactive to get rid of acne?

Okay, so I have some (not HORRIFIC, but not smooth either) acne on my face, chest, and upper back. I've been using Proactive for 2 months now and it has helped, but now it seems I've hit an acne plateau. I've been using the 3 Piece Set and occasionally the face mask.

Do you recommend another product of Proactive I should be using? I was thinking about the daily Oil Control, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your help! (I'm 20, just FWI)

Good plan for getting rid of acne?

okay so I am stuck with blackheads and redness due to post acne and a few small pimples. Will this plan work?

everyday morning wash face with dove moisturizing soap, and apply toner and moisturizer. At night rinse face with water.

On top of this..3 days a week use Neutrogena Blackhead Scrub (exfoliant) (do this after washing face, prior to toner/moisturzier)

Then like once a week or so in morning or night after face wash apply baking soda face mask or lemon juice toner (for redness).

Will this plan not be too much on my sensitve skin, get rid of blackheads, reduce redness/inflamation, and clear up my skin overall?

Thanks
Also..once a week before baking soda mask I was going to steam my face to open pores
Or should I also wash face with soap at night instead of just rinsing?

How to PREVENT acne (long)?

Hi!
READ BEFORE YOU TYPE!
I'm a 15 year old girl 56kg, 173cm.
I eat lots of veggies and fruits and I eat a lot of normal food aswell. Bad food doesn't really cause outbreaks when I eat it or so on me so I'm not sure what it is.

I need a HOMEMADE treatment to PREVENT acne! I KNOW this is possible.
1. I wash my face with a soap from neutrogena (the orange coloured) and a soft face-brush.
2. I use an ACO toner.
3. I use Formula 10.0.6 Moisturizor and Formula 10.0.6 Blemish treatment.
(I have clean hands through all of this).
3 times a week I do a face mask from 10.0.6 and I exfoliate once a week with 10.0.6.

This all works great but how do I keep the pimples from coming back?
I really can't expose my skin to bad products and I think something natural would work better. (proactive and clearasil and crap like that doesn't work).

I mean like some Lemon mix or something like that?
And some tips? How do I remind myself to drink WATER?
I don't use make-up. And if I do, it's ONLY around the eyes (where I NEVER get pimples). I don't like using foundation or anything like that.

I don't need sunblock, I have lightbrown skin that can handle UV extremely well. And all sun does for me is dry out the pimples and give me a nice colour.
