Problem with acne (I've used a lot of products)?

Hi, im having a bit of problem with my acne,
Im 14 years old and i just started breaking out this year, and i
would say my acne is moderate, but not severe. I usually break
out on my chin, and my cheeks. I don't really break out on my forehead.
These are the products i am currently using:

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash pink grapefruit facial cleanser.
Clean and Clear; Foaming facial cleanser
Lo'real 360 Clean Deep cream cleanser
Biore' Pore unclogging scrub.

I use them all EVERY Day and I can't get rid of this acne, im tired of hiding behind my makeup. (And please do not tell me to not wear makeup, because i am very very light on putting on the concealer, or foundation.)

Thanks for your help. :)

Allergic reaction to Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment, HELP!?

ok so last week i noticed that i started to break out a little on my forehead because i have been a bit stressed from schoolwork and i have not been getting much sleep.
i don't usually get acne or pimples/zits. but i did see a couple small zits (or acne w/e it was idk) on my forehead so i decided to try the Neutrogena On-the Spot Acne Treatment cream because i've heard from a couple people that they use it and they like it.

so for the past 2 days i wash my face with Neutrogena pink grapefruit oil-free acne wash (which i LOVE) and after i would put my lotion on and then i would put the On-the-Spot on my forehead(on the zits or acne or w/e) and i also but a little bit on both my cheeks because it looked like something was gonna appear there.
i did this twice a day: in the morning and at night.

well last night after about 10 minutes of putting on the On-the-Spot cream i felt my cheeks were stinging a tiny tiny bit (it kinda felt like a sunburn) but it wasn't bad at all.

and today when i woke up my cheeks were kinda red. so this morning i only washed my face, i didn't use the On-the-Spot. and right now i just finished taking a shower and my cheeks are still very red.

what can i do so that they won't be red?? it doesn't hurt, it does itch a teeny tiny bit.
oh and my forehead is fine. it's not red at all and it actually did clear up the zits or acne a bit.
i use Aveeno

Can I get rid of this pimple on my forehead in 6 days?

I have this small, yet noticeable, pimple on my forehead and I would like to get rid of it soon because I have to go to a party on Saturday. I have this neatrogena pink grapefruit acne wash and clean and clear blackhead removal stuff. Can those help me? Please help!

Any help with pimple/zits is appreciated?

Well at first I had clear skin and I pretty much do now except for these three little zits. I was wondering if you had any home remedies or items I could purchase at a drugstore like Walgreen's or Target or places like that. I have normal skin. Not oily or anything. The products I all ready have are Mary Kay velocity scrub and moisturizer, Neutrogena's oil free acne wash (the pink grapefruit one), Boire warming blackhead cleanser, and a chilling one from Biore but i forgot the name, but I don't use those all at the same time. If you could either tell me what order to use some or more of those in or any home made recipes or a product that I can buy that would be great. Also I heard toothpaste works as a type of spot treatment, does it? Thanks in advanced!

Has anyone found an acne cleanser/treatment that you can buy from Wal-Mart that actually WORKS?

I have moderate acne. I used to use Dermalogica Skin clearing wash, rapid clear treatment pads and neutrogena anti-acne moisturizer to help clear my skin. It worked...For a couple months..... Then, it just didn't work anymore. So, I decided to switch up my skin care routine a little. I started washing twice a day instead of just once. That didn;t help...It just aggravated it. So I started using Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit cleanser, followed by the rapid clear treatment pads and Velocity Moisturizer...Well, once again, it's not helping AT ALL! SO....DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN ACNE CLEANSER/TREATMENT THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM WAL-MART THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AT CLEARING UP YOUR SKIN?!
YES- I WANT to go to the dermatologist! But my mom won't let me (I'm 17). I feel hopeless, cuz while she's busy telling me that my acne will go away on it;s own, I'm getting more and more scars (I think.... Idk.). And it is hereditary to some extent. My mom had it (not sure if it was as bad as mine) when she was young, but her parents let go to the Dermatologist. Rather than see it as a skin problem that CAN be cleared if we find the right treatment, she blaims it on me drinking "too much Dr Pepper"!
