I use Head And Shoulders shampoo for acne and it works really well, it kind of dries your skin so make sure to use a good facial moisturizer.

I agree with solidadvice4teens. Many of the over the counter creams can do more harm then good. While some of them may be recommended by your doctor, such as the cleansing creams it will be after the doctor has examined you, considered what the cause of your acne is and decided on the best course of treatment for you
The doctor may like a certain OTC cleansing cream in conjunction with other medication or a prescription cleansing cream in conjunction with medication. It is all based on what the doctors sees when you are examined.
You should find a Board Certified Dermatologist. This would be a doctor who has done extra study in a Fellowship after their residency and passed the criteria to be Certified by the College of Dermatologists. These are the real specialist in Dermatology where doctors who are not certified only have their medical school and residency knowledge of Dermatology.
When you try to heal yourself with OTC medication you are a poor doctor because you do not have the training to do so and you are doing yourself more harm than good. You should not believe what you see or hear about OTC medications. They are trying to sell their product which is not regulated by the FDC. For the most part they can say almost anything they feel they need to get you to by it without having the studies to back up their claims.
Prescription medications are tried, tested and doctors have the studies to review before prescribing the medication. They now how these medications should work and when the should be used without harming the patient.
My advice is to see a Board Certified Dermatologist.

Definitely NOT anything over the counter especially if it's a really bad and consistent case. For this you need to see a family doctor. They can give you prescription cream and often have samples that eats away at what causes the acne.
Nothing that doesn't have prescription strength drug in it will be able to handle the issue effectively. If your doctor feels the case needs referring to a specialist a dermatologist will assess you and start treatment.
