Acne solutions?

Ok, so I have tried Proactive it worked for about a week than I went with Tazorac and Benziklin then that dried me out so I switched to Benziklin and Duac that works and all but I do have some bad days. I also wash with Purpose from CVS it works great, and Olay something. Any other treatments that work. Please something that doesn't dry me out.

My acne has gotten worse! Any suggestions?

My acne used be under control. But I started exercising every day about a month and a half ago and it has gotten WAY worse! If you have any suggestions on what I could use (that I can buy at Wal Mart) to help please tell me! Thanks!

BTW these are the products I use

Morning:
Biore Ice Cleanser
Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub (every other day)
Olay Complete Moisture Cream (normal)

Night:
Olay Hydrate & Cleanse (Night Wash)
Biore Astringent
Olay Complete Moisture Cream
Neutrogena Acne Stress Relief 3 in 1 Acne Treatment

--I've been thinking of switching to Neutrogena Acne Stress Relief Power Foam Wash (for my night routine). Does it work well?

How to get rid of MY acne?

I know that everyone have different skin types, and are different ages, but I just need some help before I spend money going to a dermatologist, when I figured I could get some helpful results right here. So here it goes:
* I'm ALMOST 17 years old.
* I haven pimples on my face ALL the time, but they are not acne.
* I use Loreal Go 360 Clean everynight, with Pimple Gel treatment(sylic acic, benzoyl peroxide, and such). In the morning I use Clean&clear morning burst facial wash.
*I use Olay(derm-approved moisturizer) and apply with upmost safety.
*I wear minimal make, eat heahty, excersise, drink water.
*Im not stressed, and I get my pimples everyday, not just when I'm on my menstrual cycle.

My acne won't go away, and I'm really wondering whats up. Please Help Me!? Any product(at walmart) that you might suggest, and home remidies tips, tricks.
Thankyou :)

What are your secrets to clearer skin?

I used to use a lot of benzoyl peroxide products to fight my acne (which did sometimes work), but I've heard recently benzoyl peroxide promotes skin aging, so I'm trying to use less harmful products like a St. Ives exfoliating scrub. But my acne doesn't seem to be doing anything except staying on my face (it's not healing or clearing up). I use an Olay moisturizer on my face to keep it from drying out (not sure if that's bad or not), and sometimes salicylic acid acne treatments but nothing ever seems to do the trick. I usually end up just layering my face in mineral foundation to hide everything (which makes me think I'm just going to break out even more).

Any advice or tips?

whats are some good face products for acne?

basically i use olay foaming face wash and moisturizer i use the cleanser to remove my makeup, sunscreen. So yea. i have dry skin. After my cleanser i use moisturizer
then possibly a tomato and lemon mixture as a spot treatment? Will that heal the acne if i put it on after the moisturizer
i also have very dark undereye circles, nothing works
also i want a makeup remover with grapefruit and green tea extract.
B
Are there better spot treatments?
i have pimple redness, so i want that to go.
Also when i remove my makeup, my skin looks dry and ugly
but when i put on moisturizer my skin looks dewy but greasy.
maybe i need cetaphil?
