Ok you seem to be using too much product, sometimes you can break out because of the stuff you're doing... I like clean and clear but really it depends on whatever works for your face. I mean some acne seems to be inevitable, hormonal shifts and what not...

okay.. I have a similar problem. You should order Pro Active.. its kinda expensive but it works.. the cleanser and stuff doesnt work for me but it does for my sister.
Heres what I do..
I orderd Murad (its a cleanser stuff), it works really good. I use that cleanser in the mornings when I take a shower and then use the treatment gel that comes with it. at night I use the Pro Active refining mask.(it comes with the Pro Active Cleanser, but there is a new thing called green tea moisturizer so I dont know if you can still get it but probably) anyhow, it has improved my skin soo much. When my skin starts to dry out from the Murad Cleanser, I start to use it every 2 days and it should get better, or you can just use moisturizers or lotions on your face in the morning before you put your make-up on.
I Hope This Helps, It Helped For Me.
this routine takes about a week before you start to see improvements.
GOOD LUCK!

okay please stop using rubbing alcohol on your face! That can only make it worse. I had acne problems too and my face is completely clear now, heres what I use:

1. Cleanse face with a MILD cleanser. Try cetaphil cream cleanser or Purpose face cleanser.
2. Toner - I use Clinique toner, this gets rid of all the dry skin cells (exfoliates) and got rid of all those annoying bumps on my nose. If you're looking for something cheaper go to a wallgreens or any drug store and look for an astringent - clean and clear/oil of olay have some.
3. Benzoyl peroxide cream 2.5%. You can wear this on at night only. Try Neutrogena's On The Spot acne treatment or my favorite, daniel kern's BP on acne.org - this site will also give you a lot of tips that made my skin look better than its ever looked
3. Moisturizer containing spf 15 for day. Skip moisturizer at night

I hope you get the skin you love

Alright, number one: you are using way too many things on your face... lots of which are things which will dry out your skin fast... and that isn't something that will help acne go away... infact, it will make it WORSE. So, here is my advice (you may dobut it but trust me, it works.) Wash your face with warm soapy water atleast twice a day (in the morning and at night) and be SURE to put lotion on it... don't get medicated lotion, just regular lotion (oil-free will work best) and apply it to all areas of your face. (it won't clog your pores) and be sure to eat lots of vitamin A-rich foods. \
good luck! happy

Have you tried proactive?
it really works for me I had the same probelm I would break out from the inner layer of my skin to the big white zits its horrible!!
im usring practive now and my face is soo much better. the kit comes wih a mask and I dab it on the problems areas and by the moringn there dried out its awesome.. but you do have to use the whole set until its gone.. im half way through mines and it wroks good I use it in the AM and Pm and sumtimes in the afternoon when I feel my face is oily/dirty.
I hope it helped.

I use Biore, I think its amazing. So are mud masks.
A few tips:
When you go to bed put your hair out of your face with a hair band or something. because the oil from your hair gets on your face, causing pimples.
Dont touch your face.
Use mineral make up that wont clog your pores. (you can get a thing of it called talc free mineral wear at walmart for 12 dollars that'll last you about a year.)
Wash your face when you get up in the morning , afternoon and night, but get face wash thats gentle enough to use that much.
Using astringent is good too.
