what is the best way to clear up my acne, fast?

what are some ways to clear up my acne fast, without purchasing all of those expensive facial cleansers and such?

my skin feels healthy and smooth after i wash it but after a while it gets very oily. my face isn't really bad, i only have acne here and there, but i really want to maintain healthier looking, smooth skin.

i've stopped eating greasy foods,
and i've tried face masks, certain face washes, over the counter acne spot treatment, not wearing so much makeup, keeping my hair out of my face, the cold water rinse before putting on makeup to shrink pores, and little things like that, but it all doesn't really seem to change anything.

I am an African American who wants to get rid of Acne/Acne Scars/Blackheads..[Read]?

Well I am 13 years young, and I have been dealing with it since I got my period which is when I was 9. I have TERRIBLE Acne, in my opinion atleast, but i've seen worse. I really want to get rid of it, but im not in a hurry, I know it takes time. My question is HOW? How can I get rid of it? I don't want to buy anything expensive like Nuetrogena Skin Id - I have used used Nuetrogena Acne Skin Control, to stop the acne from coming and to Clear my skin, it did help a little, But not much. Is their anyone whos had Acne and has gotten rid of it, What did you do, Or if you don't have Acne what do you do to take care of your skin? By the way, I excersise regularly, I drink very little soda but I have A Fayo/Cola/Sprite every 3 weeks or so, I don't drink much water i'm more of a juice person, and I don't eat greasy foods, But I do eat sweets and salts [ Star crunch, Oatmeal cream pies, Brownies, Airheads, Snickers, White Hersheys, Starburst, Skittles , Salt and Vinegar, and Cheetos]. During the school year I would go to the store to buy atleast 4 out of all those, but I have cut that bad habit, Now that its summer I don't go as often as I use to.

Here is a picture of me -

Roaccutane for only mild acne?

My acne is quite mild compared to many with acne problems but it still feel affects my confidence. I'm going to my doctor today to inquire about treatments for it (I've tried extensively modifying my diet (cutting out greasy foods, eating lots of fruit and veg), using neutrogena products and benzoyl peroxide daily, but I still get spots.
I heard that roaccutane is an effective treatment. But would a doctor prescribe it for only mild acne?

Is there a good way to prevent acne without medicine?

I've had acne problems since I was twelve, for eight years. I'm twenty now and its not nearly as bad as it once was but sometimes i have breakouts. I've been on every acne medication known to man, most of it worked to some extent but the majority of oral medications have dangerous side effects and I'm quite sick of the topical stuff, it makes my face so dry and I have heard it increases the risk of skin cancer.
So what can i do to get rid of this acne, Right now I'm just washing my face about four times a day and using clearasil cream every night, but its really messing up the skin on my face. I don't have many acne problems when I use it, though. I've heard all the advice about acne like don't touch your face, don't eat greasy foods, etc. I'm doing all this stuff, but still having some problems. Is there a natural way to prevent this acne?
