How can I get rid of my acne and acne scars? Any good face washes you guys recommend or remedies?

Lemon juice on your face works wonders!

To get rid of acne, benzoyl peroxide is your best bet. It is by far the most researched and best working ingredient for fighting acne and getting rid of pimples, it works by drying them out and killing the bacteria. Find a cleanser and toner with benzoyl peroxide in it, and use it twice a day. It will dry out your skin though so make sure you find a good oil free moisturizer to replenish your skins nutrients and avoid excess oil production, which may clog your pores and counteract the acne fighting agents you're using.
Tea tree oil is an absolutely amazing acne fighter, and I love using it as a spot treatment. I suggest getting an actual tea tree oil spot treatment as apposed to just using the oil because it has other ingredients which will help it be more effective. I love grease lightning by the body shop! You can also be sure to keep your hair out of your face and keep it clean, the grease from your hair can sometimes clog your pores. Make sure you're using oil free makeup, or even better mineral powder only, and clean your brushes in between uses.
Basically just keep everything clean!

As for acne scars, use lightening agents. Things like bio oil, lemon and milk will help lighten the dark spots.

I suggest going to the Dermatologist! My face is clear now, and I used to have HORRIFIC acne, then I made an appt. and they evaluated my skin, and have me the best medicine for it!

Go to the dermatologist if you can, but if you can't, get some benzoyl peroxide gel from acne.org or the drugstore. As for scars, raw honey masks have helped my scars reduce drastically. I leave it on for 15 minutes - 1 hour and rinse.

Vitamin E Oil has really helped my scars. I've been using for a month and now I can't even see the dark spots on my chin and the really bad one on my cheek. I just mix in one or two drops into my moisturizer
