Help would be appreciated!

Spots are often unavoidable, but apart from creams and gels a good way to reduce spots is to adjust your diet. A diet which has high fat and sugary foods (fried food, cheese, sweets) and is lacking in fibre will often result in bad skin. Try to increase your intake of vegetables and take vitamin supplements, zinc is good.)
A lot of it will be down to hormones, but I reckon if you eat healthily and take it handy on make up and the myriad of cleansers available, it may clear up. (I found Clearasil etc cleared up the problem areas for a short while but eventually aggravated the skin)

I've been told that certain contraceptive pills clear up acne, but I'm obviously not in a position to try them

Found hot water and a tough cloth great (skin would break out in spots if I used any of the anti-spot stuff). Could be just me, tho.

As colm_mcm said, it could be what you are eating that is causing issues. Just a regular old bar of soap and a cloth for me, those other face soaps drive me mad and leave it in worse shape than it started.:)

I found/find sudocream to be a wonder cream.

At nighttime wash face with products and then place sudocream on spot. Go to sleep and wash off in the morning. Ok so you look a bit silly with the white cream on your face but sure who's going to see ya

I've found tea tree oil to work wonders on spots. Also be sure to wash regularly, just soap and hot water can be the best thing in the world... then apply the tea tree oil!

Be advised that at your age spots are not uncommon. You will grow out of it!

Soap or anything that keeps your skin reasonably dry will keep the spots at bay.

Soap's not a good idea as it can aggravate the skin.

I get outbreaks all the time(I like my chocolate) and I usually find anything that contains Benzoyl Peroxide (Quinoderm Cream or Panoxyl cream for example) to work wonders. It kills spot causing bacteria and also dries your skin a little, removing the grease problem. Just don't use 10% strength as it will make your skin really dry and it'll start to flake.

There was a thread on PI just recently. The OP had more serious acne but there are still good tips in there: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054982555
