There's another product called phisohex that I personally use. Works great - your meant to use it 3 times a day but just once a day is fine for me. I just put the cream on my face while in the shower and wash it off. Far better then clearasil (however it's spelt).

Tea-tree oil and calamine lotion worked for me.

Other things I tried that worked for me:
1. Olive oil + salt as an exfiolant (Olive oil is good for skin. Salt kills germs.)
2. Fresh pineapple juice (non-diluted) as a natural A/BHA "mask" (just 30 seconds on the face is sufficient).
Some people have same success with lemon juice.
2. Enough sleep
3. Healthy diet

Accutane is effective but made me THIRST!!!!! I stopped and went the healthy way.

I used to have this problem to an extreme, but not as much anymore. I just get the annoying spot that comes up in the best places ever (like mid-neck, right on the nose, or someplace very obvious), so it would be awesome to be acne-free, but that's just asking too much.

It's just me, but I think everyone's out to get your dollar and so I'm kind of leery about the advertisements for some of them, but I've tried Proactive and the Walmart alternative and some shiny blue/red Neutrogena scrub (I think... can't remember) and I've just had my random spots. I also don't do it every day, which maybe helps out with not being abrasive and constantly washing my face. (I wash my face with that stuff every other day and just once.) So far either it's working and I'm just suffering spots or I'm past that point in life where I have to worry about breakouts... I don't know. Then again, everyone's different.

Try out different things and see what works for you. If certain foods aggravate your acne, do the obvious thing and eliminate it. (I don't believe that your diet, to an extent, affects your acne directly... but a healthier diet as an outcome of not wanting to chance it doesn't hurt the lifestyle either. ) Try Proactive, try the Walmart brand, try different scrubs. Avoid constantly washing your face. Also, avoid alcohol products like Stridex because they dry out your face and that's not a good thing. (Your facial skin NEEDS those oils... it's the fact that dirt and other contaminants get into that oil and clog up a pore that causes those lovely whiteheads.)

Be gentle with that face. As much as you would want to just scrub away, it will only do damage in the long run.
