My SKIN is very oily and gross?

My skin is horrible! Can you help me?
i'm a teen and my skin is horrible.
acne runs in the family and i want to have baby smooth skin!
my skin is rough and bumpy.
no major zits but dark scars and red tiny pimples that never go away.
my skin is SUPER oily and I don't know what to do!!

It feels like i've tried everything but nothing ever works like i expect it to.
my skin is pale but my pimples make it red.

I wish my skin could be smooth and i wouldn't care if it was oily.

it seems i'm the only teen with this problem

here are the products i use:

morning:
clean and clear morning burst (orange) cleanser
Aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer (SPF 30)

night:
DIfferin gel (0.1%)(DOCTOR)
Clindamycin Phosphate Lotion(DOCTOR)
Clean and Clear Advantag Acne Spot Treatment

SHower:
Aveeno Firming Scrub

Every once in a while:
Biore Ultra Nose Strip

I also do wear make-up:
Maybelline Mineral Powder foundation and powder

WHAT DO I DO???

Can't I take something to calm down the acne???

What's your opinion? What worked (really) for you? What do you think will work for me?

I just recently switched to the Aveeno moisturizer from the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion because Aveeno is oil-free and Clinique seemed to clog my pores.

ABSOLUTE BEST FOUNDATION OUT THERE HELP HELP HELP HELP?

Okay so I've tried every single foundation and brand out there and most of the time I either break out or just wanna try something else. I dont have severe acne just the occasional zit, I have normal skin, I'm using OLAY cleansers and moisturizer and I eat healthy and am not overweight or anything like that. Right now I'm using Revlon Colorstay foundation but sometimes it feels cakey and I'm afraid of breaking out sometimes..
What foundation is the BEST, that wont break me out bad, that is preferrably oil free, that WILL STAY ON FOR HOURS and that isnt irritating????

PLEASE dont tell me to try: Bare minerals or MAC, i dont like those lol

In need of non-comedogenic and/or oil-free make-up to hide acne scars.?

I'm 17-and-a-half, male and quite pale. I used to have quite severe acne but since using Freederm and a course of Tetralysal tablets it's cleared up quite a lot. Now I'm left with pinkish and reddish acne scars which I'd like to cover them up with the help of some non-comedogenic and/or oil-free make-up (perhaps a foundation).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Acne Solutions for moderate-severe doctor diagnosed acne?(Clinique?)(3 Step and 3 Step Acne?)(Macy’s?)?

I have moderate to severe acne that is propnounced on my face, back, chest, and other uinsetteling parts of my body, along with cystic acne and recently saw a doctor for this condition. She perscribed monocycoline- a mediction to help stop the acne, however it is having a hard time working because I'm supposted to eat it on an ampty stomach but it's never empty. (i'm vegan with an extrordanairly high metabolism so I eat all the time to stay happy :)

Before this incident, I had tried multiple solutions to my acne.
Benzoil peroxide was my best one yet, however it caused severe drying and more oil production, so i started using Nutrogena's iol free moisture for sensitive skin, and it didn't relly moisturise enough.

I have tried Oil Free Salacylic Ance was by Neutrogena, Clean and clear microscurb beads, clean and clear blackhead control, clean and clear foaming cleanser, clean and clear Salacylic acid, Acne free, proactiv, Burts bees facialm cleansers, exfoliators, washes and complexion soaps, and i'm curently using the clinique 3 step acne solutions system

Before my severe acne, i had fiar-oily skin,
and now it is extremely dry, unless i put moisturiser on it.

Whenever i put on makeup over an acne proudct or without, my skin seems to 'dry up' and 'crack' i dont have lines or wrinkles on my face, but the makeup alwys finds a way to collect in the spaces between skin platlets, expecially arround my mouth.

Picking my acne makes i tworse i know, and i rarely ever do it, however im not sure what else i can do to berid myself of it. I know i wont completely get rid of it, but id rather have the 5-10 pimples, astead of the bunches of 12-18 cystic ones!

So i cant use anyhting with oil (i found out it made me break -out), nothing too drying i guess, hopefully someting that can help this makeup rpoblem with my face, and something that will clear up the acne.

(I am using clinique acne steps right now, but whats the diffrence between taht and the normal 3 step. Is the normal 3 step even benificial for your skin? i've heard otherwise... Also,if i have a macy's giftcard, can i use it in the clinique stand or urban decay stand in macys? Thanks toe veryone for all of the help!)
I also wanted to put it out there that i drink between 12-24 8 oz bottles of water a day (in a contene, i try to be ecofriendly) and use bare esscentuals, wich should help unclog my pores/ not clog them.
