Proactive actually works really well, at least for me. And I take 'birth control' pills, because they do hormone replacement so that I'm not making an excess of hormones that cause acne. Talk to your doctor and see if you can get a prescription for some. It helps a lot.

^Also usually you take the pills for three weeks, then have an off week (don't take any pills that week) so you can have your period. But you can set up a plan where you don't have an off week, so you don't have a period (or if you do it's very mild). I did that last summer so I could go to the beach and not worry about my period.
