How to get rid of acne??

Question

I'm 16 and only last fall during football had i got acne. I had always had very little but then i started to break out.  I was on benzaclin and it seemed to not work. So next i tried azelex which worked a little but not that great. So, now I have been on Proactive Solution for about a week and its starting to get really bad again. What options do i have?

Many products on the market use agents to burn the acne like alcohol. 

If you are a person who has sensitive skin, this may make things worse. 

I suggest you try a product called " Gentle Daily Cleanser" it's all natural so it will likely not irritate your skin. 

here is a website where you can buy it.

Just click on products, then click on United States, then go to Sense and you should find it there.

the alternative natural and non hurtful way to go, is tea tree oil, 
(not teak tree oil)
get it from a pharmacy or a well assorted healthfood store

must be: essential tea tree oil
it works agressively against inflammations/infections by bacteria and fungus.

but it wont hurt, not even if you put it on an open sore, you wont feel a thing, but you will see the change in a week(use twice a day on a q tip)
if you have scarring try lavender oil/water or chamomille water
