Help me with acne problems.?

I've been out of school for at least 2 weeks now and I can't think of any way to spend my time then getting rid of my acne problems. For at least 1 year now I've been dealing with acne on my forehead, chin, & cheeks. Its not severe acne but I want some of the acne gone before school starts again (Leaves me about 2 more months). So if any of you people want to help me with some tips & solutions that would be very appreciated. I've been using "St Ives; Blemish & Black Head Removal", is this a good product? & Picking at zits left me marks on my face, are there remedies for scars? Thank all of you for your answers:)
