If over the counter products are of limited benefit see your doctor for a topical retinoid such as Differin or Retin-A.
Acne is caused by a sensitivity to the effects of hormones. Avoid the hormonal IUD, mini pill (everyday pill) and Depot shot, all of which can make acne worse. Talk to your doctor about taking a combined oral contraceptive pill such as Ortho Tri-Cyclen or Diane35 which will clear hormonal acne.

There are several treatment options available for acne - topical application creams, oral medications, laser treatment etc.
It would be best to consult your dermatologist to decide about the best treatment option in your case.
Comedonal (non-inflammatory) acne: local treatment with azelaic acid, salicylic acid, topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide.
Mild papulo-pustular (inflammatory) acne: benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids, topical antibiotics (such as erythromycin).
Moderate inflammatory acne: benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids combined with oral antibiotics (tetracyclines). Isotretinoin is an option.
Severe inflammatory acne, nodular acne, acne resistant to the above treatments: isotretinoin also known as Accutane, can be prescribed by a doctor, or contraceptive pills with cyproterone for females with virilization or drospirenone.
