Best way to get rid of acne scars and flaky skin?

I was never really the type of person to have ance. I come from a big family with clear skin. But for some reason I started breaking out very terribly( it might have been from the change of makeup I did back in september ) Well , My ance has gone away , but now I face a new challenge. Ance Scars. I restrict myself from using any foundation cover up makeup because my boyfriend hates when I wear it. Plus - I got it all over his white sweatshirt when I hugged him lol. My skin is in horrible condition tho. After all the harsh acne treatment , I have horrible dry skin. It's all flaky and dry and I put on an Olay Oil Free Face moisterizer but honestly , If i did not have that , I would be doomed. Basically to sum this up , What are some good home remedies to get rid of acne scars and deminish them ? and how can I get my skin to be nice and flaky free ? Please help because I feel so left out without clear skin cause my family alway points it out :( HELP !

Which Acne Cleanser/Wash would work better?

I have been using the Clean & Clear Advantage 3 in 1 Exfoliating Cleanser because I know a few people with clear skin who use it. I have been using it for a few months twice a day and I don't see any results. It has 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. My main acne problem is blackheads and I heard that Benzoyl Peroxide is much better than Sacilyc Acid at getting rid of blackheads. I don't think that 5% Benzoyl Peroxide is strong enough for me so I found two products with 10%. I am kind of worried that it will overly dry out my skin, so what is a very moisterizing oil-free moisterizer also?
These are the products:

PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Maximum Strength

Are these products effective? If, so which is more effective?

What is a good cheap moisterizer what will not clog my pores or break me out?

I have over sensitive skin and have found nearly every moisterizer clogs my pores...even when it says it will not. I have tried the Pro-Activ but it makes my face peel and redden. So any tips on preventing acne and a moisterizer for when I wash my face?

Tea tree oil for back acne?

Hello! I just bought Desert Essence tea tree oil cleansing bar and 100% tea tree oil from a drug store to treat my moderate back acne. I'm planning to use the tea tree oil bar in the shower to wash my back. But I don't know if I should also use the pure tree tea oil after using the bar as a spot treatment because I don't want to overdry my skin? What do you guys think? Also, if I use the tea tree oil as a spot treatment for my back acne, what would be a proper way to use it, like is it ok to dilute it with a oil-free moisterizer and apply it all over my back? or should i just use a moist cotton ball to apply to specific affected areas?
Thank you.

Is this a good morning routine?

Well, Ive never really had to do any acne treatments because i never really broke out at all and i really kept myself clean. Well surprisingly now im breaking out in whiteheads and small pimples. im like NO! im also trying to lose about 15 pounds that i gained on my vacation. Those buffets sure get ya! hahaha. well heres what im planning to do:
Wake up at 6 am go on elliptical for 20 minutes.
Take a 10 minute shower. Use Noxzema Deep Lathering Cleanser in shower (ive always used this)
I use Hydrating Teatree Mint Shampoo and Conditioner. I also deep condition with Garnier Fructis 3 Minute Masque once every two weeks. I use a loofah to exfoliate my skin, does that work? So if im really breaking out i use my proactiv renewing cleanser on the spots with most zits. Then i get out and comb my hair and then apply Biosilk Silk Treatment to my damp hair. I then use my stridex acne pads. Then 3 times a week i moisturize with either aveeno clear complextion moisterizer or proactiv oil free moisturizer with spf 15. Then i get dressed, let my hair air dry, and eat a fruit for breakfast. When my hair is dry, i straighten it. I put it in layers and use my Pantene Shine and Heat protection spray on each layer. Either i straighten it or curl or just leave it or do something lol. After that im pretty much done and just apply my usual every day makeup. I get my stuff together and then go on the computer or something and then leave for work. I dont eat lunch all day other than maybe a water, juice, and a granola bar or something. Then i get home and eat a nice healthy dinner. Sounds good? My coworker who i am very close to pointed out that i was getting a few pimples and i freaked. (we are really good friends lol) im glad she pointed it out. But what i noticed by myself is that i went for a good 120 to 145 in 8 days at my resort! CRAZY!!! lol so thanks in advance plz helP!

Skincare routine for acne prone skin?

I used to have TERRIBLE acne, but now its mostly on my chin and a little on the sides of my forehead, but I still hate it.
I'm using Clean and Clear Daily Pore Cleanser morning and night with the Dual Action Moisterizer from Clean and Clear at night also. For spot treatment, I'm using Terminator 10 acne and blackhead spot treatment.
That routine seems to not make anything worse, but if it is clearing stuff up, its reallyyyyy slowly and I'm really not noticing a huge difference. I really want clearer skin when school starts up again.
What are some good drugstore products that I can try? What are some drugstore products that helped you?
Thanks xx
just a note, I have tried ProActive, and it did clear up things a little but it made my face so red and itchy I actually had to stay home from school because it was so painful. So I don't use it anymore.
About the Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask, where can you get it? Several people on this website recommended it to me, but I don't know where to get it.
