clindamycin phosphate worked well for I, not sure about the scars though.

Used to have acne dont have scars though. I think if you get a skin peel that helps for scarring. I would do research though first.
And to whoever said Cetaphil....Yes

I had pretty bad acne as a teenager (14-17), but made it a lot worse by playing with my face all the time. Long story short, I was put on Accutane for like 6 months and it really cleared up my skin, but the more I read about this drug now I realize all the side effects I may have unknowingly had/have.
It's a drug that works, but not without it's risks. Some can't even take it because it can affect the liver. Others face anywhere from mild side effects like chapped lips to severe one's like suicidal thoughts.
Proactive works great for some, a waste of money for others. I never used it myself, but know others with mixed results.
Sometimes all of these cleansers/scrubs can be too much. I own a few, but soap and water is really all I use consistently.
Your best bet is to see a dermatologist and see what he/she recommends depending on your skin type.
Acne sucks, but it is temporary. Be patient.

Heres a thread I made earlier this year. I swear it works people!
http://niketalk.com/topic/250560
2 parts green tea
1 part ORGANIC apple cider vinegar
Put in fridge and apply to face after washing with mild cleanser every night. (Use a good face moisturizer afterward.)
make a new batch every two weeks
total cost: less than $5.
Im 25 and have had acne since I was 12. This is the ONLY thing that has EVER worked for me.
All those harsh cleansers with benzoyl peroxide dry out your skin.

Just don't touch your face, drink a lot of water, wash your face at least twice a day, (Especally after you sweat) and DON'T pop any pimples. I learned the hard way that there were virtually no good things that come out of popping them. The bump goes down just a little, bleeding, then a mark. So don't pop them.
Follow these steps, and you will be good.
