I used to sell proactive. And of course got a free kit to test myself.
I found that the refining mask and the spot treatment thing seemed to work best. It's just too hard to use something every single day for a long time (also be warned -- you HAVE to sign up for automatic shipments if you buy it directly from them).
The refining mask really seems to suck the nasty oil out, especially if you leave it on for a few hours.
I really wanted to try the skin lightener to treat the scars, but they stopped making it (but you can find products with the same chemical online).
Benzoyl peroxide is the main working ingredient so really you can just use any product with that same chemical. But I would recommend their refining mask.

I sleep with a dry towel (more comfortable) and then wash my face well in the morning.
FYI: I shower the night before because my school starts at 7:45am. Yeah, class starts then....

I have some problems with it too, but im not buying any type of that shit.
Just keep your face clean and drink alot of water.
It will go away eventually.

Minimize the amount of time you touch your face with your hands and wash your face with soap once a day. This is all I've concentrated on and I've never had any acne.

St Ives Products are amazing. They sell at walmart, or any drug store.

You could also minimize the amount of oily foods you eat.
And try to prevent your hands touching you face.
JUst like ThatGuyAgain said. Also, sleep earlier.
Not really a type of person who normally gives advice but i usually try those stuff.
The fact that i had pimples on my face is that i'm going through puberty (yes, i know, it's terrible!).

Use a non-alcohol, oil free moisturizer as well. Cleaning your skin too much without moisturizer will make it dry, which also leads to acne.
Oily foods and sugar have been said to cause it, though I'm not sure how much scientific evidence we have to prove this.
Stress has been proven to cause acne, however.
