Questions about Acne

I have dark scars/spots from previous acne. I am tired of having to wear so much make-up to cover it up! I dont get acne that often anymore, but I do have oily skin. I’ve tried pro-active and other on the spot acne treatments but they don’t fade my scars at all.

My mom keeps saying that its because I’m dirty and that I don’t wash my face good. I used a cleanser and scrub everyday. I used to have acne long time ago too but then I started using proactive and it got better. My skin was really good and I thought I didn’t have to use Proctiv anymore. Like 2-3 days after I started seeing my acne. I didn’t want use Proactive again cus I heard it can damage your skin and it has a chemical in it that makes your skin addicted to it. So what should i do?

I’ve been trying to find cheap things to clear the acne on my face at least, but nothing really seems to work, can anyone help me clear the acne on my face, without using much money, and it would help if something could clear the acne on my back too. Thanks!
