Acne's a bitch right? There are lots of places you can turn to for advice but I've pulled together a whole pile of resources for you here. Whether it's understanding how it forms or some home remedies you need, you'll find it in these acne infographics.
(You will note that some bits of info are repeated in some but that's because there's no definitive answer and no one remedy that suits all.)

Tracy, that's a rare reaction. Proactive is just a higher dose of drugstore skincare. You had a rare reaction. And benzoyl peroxide doesn't cause cancer. If it caused cancer it wouldn't be able to be sold without a warning label. Just like x y and Z cause cancer, there's no proof. It all starts by someone getting cancer (which the cause is undetermined) going "maybe if I didn't use that cleanser with this in it I wouldn't have gotten cancer!" and then blaming it on it. I study skincare, and volunteer at the cross cancer Institute. The only true cause is smoking, inhaling chemicals, too much sun exposure and working with cancerous molds. Please don't spread rumors like that.
If you have enough acne that you are reading these types of articles, please go see a dermatologist and create a skin regime that works well on your skin type. Please do not try any DIY or anything that claims that chemicals are bad. Chemicals are natural too.
Sigh my boyfriend has serious back acne, and he loves popping his pimples! I'll have to get him to read bits and pieces of these infographics, seriously thinking of getting some kind of treatment for him :/
I love how you added celebrities into this cause it shows that no one is perfect
Oh my good lord the amount of repeating false information.. And the amount of completely opposite information. In half the posts they say stress doesn't cause acne, then boom 4 say it does. Face mapping means nothing, acne is not linked to your liver or anything. Any acne as symptoms can be caused by a number of things, but don't pay attention to your face to diagnose you with a sick body part. Please don't listen to anything that says dairy caused acne. There's no proof. It can RARELY cause people's acne to worsen when consuming extra dairy, but cutting it out is EXTREMELY dangerous and can be DEADLY if you alter your diet to drastically or to quickly. If you suspect dairy or any food is causing acne, lessen it for 3 weeks and if your acne has lessened, go get an allergy test done and talk to your doctor.
This will help me a lot,
And reading further... Baking soda should NEVER come into contact with your skin. It causes micro tears that will cause much worse acne and other skin conditions in the long run. Honey should only be used if pure organic manuka honey, and even then should be spot tested and used sparingly as people can have huge reactions even if not allergic to honey or pollen. Toothpaste should NEVER go on your face. There's a reason that it's not advertised as a skin cream. All it does is dry the skin out, cause micro tears, and hurt the pH of your skin.
Thanks
