Ok I have really bad acne for a kid my age but I have done TONS of research on it, so I can definitely help. I use an expensive acne crème by actavis, called "Tretinoin Cream USP". I have tried using proactive, Acne clear, Clean and clear, Body shop and etc. And nothing will work! But this crème is the only thing that has made a difference. So first of all you may want to get some tea tree oil, good face wash, a soft facial brush, and medicine. And DON'T TAKE 2 SHOWERS A DAY! I used to do that (1 in the morning before school and 1 when I got home everyday). But, once I stopped it really helped. Anyway, I can tell you something that will help to do. And if you don't mid getting a scar you can barely see, I would pop the blemish because you need to get the white puss out to get to the root of the problem, but pther wise don't pop any!
TAKE A SHOWER AT NIGHT AND WASH ONLY YOUR FACE IN THE MORNING!!
Here are what I do to help(and it really works!):
Step 1: Take a shower
Step 2: Wash your hair before washing your face because if you wash your face first you may have to wash it again if your hair touches your face(because of oils)
Step 3: While Cleansing your face instead of using your hand(s) use a soft bristle facial brush
Step 4: When your done taking a shower instead of wiping your face dry pat it gently dry
Step 5: As soon as you get out of the shower (if your OK with risking the possibility of having a small scar that will fade, pop the blemishes
Step 5: Once you pop the blemishes put tea tree oil on your figer, cotton ball, or Q-tip
Step 6: gently put the tee tree oil all over your face and let it sit for about 20 min ( you can o other things while it soaks all the way in)
Step 7: Put some of any lemish crème you have on the blemishes
Step 8: Let is sit for a few min before doing other thigs that might rub it off easily
Step 9: Go to sleep and leave the facial products on all night long
Step 10: In the morning Wash all the products off your face and put a mosturizig facial lotion on(NOT REGULAR LOTION!)
Step 11: IF your aloud to wear makeup you can BUT only get the makeup from a store called "The Body Shop" because they use all natural ingredients and it actully helps a little to heal your skin while you have it on
Step 12 Repeat steps 1-11 daily and look up research on acne and blemishes.
