In in high school too I had acne more in my t zone though, and I tried everything, even natural stuff! Finally I went to the dermatologist and they gave me this medicine. It was really expensive and has lasted a long time, it was worth it:) basically, I recommend going to a dermatologist:) Sorry for the long story...

Try a new simple cleanser like Cerave hydrating cleanser or something organic like Mychelle pumpkin cream cleanser
use an alcohol free toner!! like thayers witch hazel rose water toner (there other options as well)
basic moisturizer like cetaphil cream moisturizer
spf during the day helps
maybe try a tinted mosturizer or if you want to still wear some make up go for something organic I LOVE Mineral Fusion pressed powder its amazing
and dont pick or touch your face!
if it doesn't seem to get better try seeing a dermatologist they can prescribe you a topical like epuido or ziana
hopr this was helpful!

Ok THAT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AND I FIXED IT!! at first I trued proactive but A WASTE! And then a friend recommended me terminator 10, simple tube of ointment at any drugstore. IT WORKS WONDERS. Use it for a week and you will b perffeerrcttt!! Use ut twice a day until the acne goes away, then use it once every ither day or so or on problem spots and boom no more redness or problem spots. Its cheap please give it a try!! It does dry skin, so make sure to have a face lotion. So worth it though. Btw I'm a sophmore!!

How long are you using those products? It can take a month or longer for products to start working. Get some ProActive and wait. Use it like it says and your acne should clear up.

Right do not use any thing like yogurt or lemon juice, doesn't work!! you need to get things like tea tree blemish balms or thinks to target acne, also always follow the instructions on the bottle :) and don't pick the zits it only makes them worse and spread :) hope this helps! xx

Benzoyl peroxide works for me. You just have to deal with the initial drying and peeling but it works. Also use natural ingredients. Check your makeup and products for these acne causing ingredients http://facerealityacneclinic.com/articles/pore_clogging.php.

You can also see a great esthetician that specializes in acne. I had one that cleared my skin up without being on harsh medications.

I had super bad breakout earlier this year too. but its gotten a lot better. I have super oily skin and I use Lush tea tree oil toner along with their dark knight exfoliant every other day or so.

makeup: if your not against it, I like the coverage and the stay from kat von d's lock it tattoo foundation and concealer a lot...

Try using a gentle face wash. I personally like using Japanese products. They're very gentle and they cleanse very well especially the foaming types. I also use a Japanese toner called eskino, I recommend you try that it feels amazing when you put it on.
Also if you haven't heard of an exfoliator called CURE, definitely give it a try. It's the best exfoliator ever!! I really like Japanese face products because they don't use so many harsh chemicals like American products.
I used to have a lot of acne and after using Japanese products, it's all cleared up now =)
