this sound so typical, but proactive.
i wasnt one who thought it would be good, but after a week, my pimples were gone.
i bought this acne cream from them too, its for spots, and over night, my pimple(whick was HUGE!) was practically gone.
i absolutely love it. you need to get it.
its in the malls too so u dont have to order over the phone.

ok 1st of all, i can tell you what cleared up my sister's acne, when, proactive dident work. but your on meds so be sure an check with your doc 1st.she got off proactive bought a bag of cotton swabs(the balls) and a bottle of white pure witch hazel,she wets the cotton swab with witch hazel an wipes the oils off her face with it in the morning and before bed. it worked wonders for her and she still uses it for the occasional breakout.good luck!witch hazel can be bought at any drugstore usually with the proxide and alcohol.

If its in addition to medication, I suggest calling your dermatologist, because some topical acne medications can interfere with the medication. I personally use Clearasil lotion stuff and Stridex pads to wash my face before I apply the clearisil. My best answer to you is for you to call your dermatoligist and ask what would be the best course of action.

If you've been on the medication for a while (over a month or two) and it isn't working, I would suggest talking to your doctor about switching to a different one. It's possible that the one you're taking isn't the right one for you. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to find the correct medication for your body.
To help deal with the pimples and keep them from reoccurring, I would start by drinking plenty of water. Your skin needs water to be healthy. I would also suggest eating a healthy diet and supplementing with a good quality multi-vitamin. Some vitamins and minerals are natural skin clearers. I would cut out fried foods and any other foods that make you break out. Try to avoid touching your face as much as possible to cut down on the transfer of oil and dirt. Last, if possible, try going without makeup completely or cutting down as much as you can. Makeup can clog the pores, making the problem worse.

If you're at the stage where you're on medication then there isn't much more to do. I don't know if you're a girl or a boy but if you wear make up get the light green concealer (MAC's is really good) and lightly put it on the red areas on your face. Then cover the green with your regular concealer for better coverage. It won't make you look cakey and gross. I always do that with a light bronzer over it and it helps so much. In terms of getting rid of the zits, just don't skip your meds, wash your face regularly and talk to your dermatologist about Differin or Tazorac, they are topical creams with drying agents. I've used both of them and they help dry up the zits a little faster.

OMG makeup makes a lot of pimples. Mostly foundation/coverup because it is all over your face. What I do is I clean my face when I get home from school with warm water so I get all the dirt and makeup off. Then at night I take a shower then use proactiv. This works really well for me so you could try that minus the proactiv if your parents wont buy it.

If you just started on your medication, then it takes some time for your body to get used to it and know what it has to do. In the meantime, drink lots of water and at every chance you get, wash your face with warm water. After time the medicine should kick in and all will be well :)

*Drink alot of water
*Wash your face, and rinse with cold water
*EVERYTIME after getting sweaty make sure to wash your face.
*ALWAYS use a clean towel.
**If your a girl, steer clear of makeup, such as foundation, and eyeshadow.
:) Good Luck
