I've found that proactiv is just a watered down form of other things you can get for much cheaper. the scrub stuff they give you can be replaced with other scrub products that are much grittier and do a better job at exfoliating. The blue liquid is just an astringent that can also be replaced by cheaper products. The lotion never gave me the kinds of clearing up results that Clean and Clear Persagel does (you put clean and clear on affected spots rather than on your whole face).
I've never really had any luck getting rid of the under the skin kinds. Though otherwise I have been pretty successful in treating my acne such that I hardly had any throughout highschool. Never go to bed with your face greasy if you can avoid it. A bathcloth and warm water is usually enough to clear off the grease at night. I actively pop whiteheads and clear out blackheads as soon as they appear that they will come out when I squeeze. Make sure to wash your face after squeezing things because you just spread the shit from inside the pimple otherwise.
The only special products I use on my face are Clean and Clear Persagel 10 (a medicated cream put on pimples at night, an exfoliant (the stuff that has sand in it that you rub all over your face to get off dead skin and some looser blackheads), and a stainless steel blackhead too (just a little stick with a tiny loop at the end for pushing dirt out of pores... this can be found pretty easily at a drug store or something).
Sun is also a very good treatment for acne... as is swimming rather it be in a pool or the ocean because both have things in them that help dry out your acne (chlorine and salt respectively)
