I find for cleansers that St. Ives works really well and it's fairly inexpensive.
Other then that I agree with lots of water and a daily muti-vitamin.

# Drink lots of water (8 cups a day) to help your skin to be healthy, and try to eat healthy too.
# Make sure your hair is always clean because grease from your finger or the front of your hair could be making your skin oily.
# If you have spots, don't pick them or squeeze them. Leave them alone. However, some zits need to have the cover or "top" to it taken off. But please, don't overdo it. Don't tear up your skin trying to get the top off a zit! If you gently squeeze after doing so, the puss will come out of the zit, unclogging the pore. After you do this, put the cream or gel with the benzoyl peroxide in it on top of where the zit used to be. This can possibly clear a zit right up!
# Try this quick fix for your blemishes! Obtain equal parts water and baking soda, and mix it together! Apply with a regular-size Q-Tip directly on the pimple. Do not rub in. Will dry zit and decrease redness. After mixture is dry, apply a toner/cleanser/moisturizer. This is optional, but can help your skin feel smoother.
# Make a routine. Exfoliate once a week with normal skin, and twice a week for oily. This keeps the skin fresh and helps to reduce black heads. Also try using a facemask once a month.
# If you have oily skin use a bit of vinegar mixed with water, seeing as the vinegar can be too strong. Rinse your face with this mixture 2-3 times a day. May burn around infected areas and zits and/or pimples

Have you tried Pro-Activ Solution? I have used it in the past and it works really good.

I really dont know how to get clear skin. I have a lot of acne as well. Mine is due to PCOS and nothing seems to work for me. I am very self conscious about it so I know how you feel. if you try something and it really works let me know.
Some people swear by Proactiv but some other people say it makes it worse for them. Best thing is diet and water and staying clean. I am impressed by Anonymouswhilefemale. He said it all - Can't beat that.
Do you use any claensers for your skin type? Do you make sure you cleanse your makeup tools on a weekly basis? I found that drinking lots of water can help improve your skin texture and obviously the well known purifying benefits for your overall health.Have you ever tried proactiv? Skincare doesn't have to be expensive at all. A gentle exfoliater works wonders for me. Changing your pillowcases at least twice a week isn't a bad idea. Steer clear of foundation that isn't water based.If i can think of other suggestions, i would be happy to help. I hope this info is useful for you.

Drink 10 litres of water on daily basis and then your skin would be glowing.
10L is way too much water to take in during one day! There is no one set amount of water to drink. It depends on your level of activity, size, diet, etc.
