i had the same problem. acne is caused by your body producing too much testosterone. once i started birth control, my acne cleared up. because birth control makes your body produce less of it. so thats something you can consider.

Have you looked at your diet?
I know doctors are inclined to say your diet has nothing to do with acne, but at the same time, a poor diet will affect how well your skin responds to any stress placed upon it. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is good, and only works if the veggies are fresh. Meaning, less processed junk, and canned foods. Fish is also good too.
Drinking plenty of water will also clear out your skin to a good degree. Also, a good diet will help your hormones regulate better, and you should be less prone to break out.
You can also make your own clay masks for the fraction of the cost of the ones your get the drug store. Try going to the health food store and getting some powder clay. They will probably have different types, each one suited for different types of skin. Green clay just so happens to work well with acne prone skin. You can add water, or any essential oils to the clay to make a nice smooth paste and wear like a usual mask.
Just remember to be gentle to your skin. Being harsh with it will make it worse.
If worse comes to worse, you might need to see a doctor about getting on the pill. Sometimes it takes a few trials before you find a dosage that will work for you.

Alright well, first thing you need to make a habit on doing is, cleaning your face twice a day, this mean in the morning when you wake up and at night, before you go to bed. you should buy a gel cleanser and a Blemish Corrector. Note: Wash your hands before washing your face always.
Now if you would like a Natural home remedy face mask.. what you can do is, get an apple, cut it in half, only use one half, depending on how big the apple is. smash it like you would when making mash potatoes, this if you do it manually..you can use a blender to dissolve the apple, and mix it with half a lemon or u can use a little bit of water. i suggest lemon though. make sure the apple mix is not too watery or too dry. this is a great face mask, when doing a facial, for acne, because the apple has vitamin C, which is a great antioxidant. do this once a week. remember like i said in the beginning to clean your face before you apply the face mask. and continue every day to clean it twice a day.
Another great face mask would be oatmeal mix with lemon and honey. smash it, till you try to dissolve most of the oatmeal, is ok if is not dissolve all the way. you can alternate with the apple face mask one week, and the next do the oatmeal face mask. the oatmeal mask is great because it will treat any superficial scars you had from the acne.
when you feel your face is getting dry, apply oatmeal mix with milk. it will make your skin smooth again.
Recommendations: Try not to touch your face so much, dont eat so much greasy foods and junk foods, drink a lot of water, sleep, try to not get stress, clean your face twice a day(morning and at night), change your pillow case atleast twice a week or once a week. dont let your hair touch your face when having it curly or when its starting to get dirty. eat fruits, natural juices, and visit a cosmetologist if you don't have a severe acne problem, now if is a serious acne, visit a dermatologist.

Mix olive oil and salt together and apply it to your face. Dab garlic juice on your face. It works too, and try smashing an aspirin tablet and mix some lemon juice with it and apply to your face daily. Don't stress out and try to keep your hands and hair away from your face! If nothing works go and see a dermatologist!
