persistent as in .... never goes away?
or .... really, really, REALLY bad?
or both?

If it is really severe, (and/or you have scars) get an appt. with a dermatologist. They can really help you out.
If it just doesn't seem to get off your face, then try ProActive, or other dermatolagist recomended products. Also, simple things like laying a very warm, damp towel across your face can relieve a lot of pimples. Or treat your self to a facial!
If you are covering acne up w/ foundation, make sure it is acne friendly. Otherwise, it could make your acne much worse! :(

Good Luck!
