What acne treatment should I try next? 10 points xx?

I've tried Proactiv for several months with no results. I don't want to be throwing money away; and I really want my pimples gone. What do you recommend ? Thanks in advance.

Update:

I've tries various neutrogena products and St. Ives products as well.

Update 2:

And I shower daily or every other day. I wash my face in the morning and at night. And I use sunscreen and make up that doesn't clog pores. Please help!

Update 3:

Additional information- 16, female, pretty regular menstrual, and not sexually active

Update 4:

Okay another thing.. I've been prescribed a erythromycin-benzyol gel for my face, and that didn't work either.

    You should visit your GP and get the right medicine. I had acne problem for years and tried lot of stuff from the stores, finally went to GP and he gave me some medicine which I need to use on my skin every night for a month.

    Use a natural non-medicated cleanser, honey as a mask after cleansning, and a light moisturizer like aloe vera gel. Exfoliate once a week (baking soda works)

    Drink only water (to flush your system) or tea (for anti-oxidants), cut out all sugar, and avoid processed foods completely. Before you eat anything think 'why is this good for me?' if it does nothing for you, you should t be eating it!

    Your skin reflects your overall health, if it's breaking out it means there is something wrong internally. A good diet is extremely important if you want clear skin!

  • Try natural acne.. well not natural ; but also not the harsh chemical washes & scrubs you've bought in the past.. try this ;

    mix 2 strawberries,

    1 tsp of honey,

    1 tsp of olive oil (for oily skin..optional)

    3 tsps 100% all natural yogurt

    in a blender ;

    use once - twice a week on face (:

    Worked for me.. but if you skip a week (like i did , sadly) your acne will return worse then before! (like me) give it a try though its cheap & easy. :) GOOD LUCK , im goin through the same thing.
