An in-person examination is the ideal way to determine the best topical treatment for your acne. And the particular reatment(s) prescribed can depend upon such factors as the kind, severity and extent of your acne and how likely it is to scar, OTC benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and adapalene can be effective products, especially for milder forms of acne. However, again, that really depends upon the above factors. If your acne is severe, seeing a dermatologist asap is strongly recommended in order to minimize or prevent permanent acne scar and prolonged dyspigmentation problems.
It depends on the type of acne. Retin A remains one of the best topical meds.
I think Over-The-Counter Differin is a great place to start.
Depending on the type and severity of your acne, Retin-A cream and/or a topical antibiotic like erythromycin will be effective.
It depends on your type of acne. Generally, retinoids are best.

Go see a dermatologist for treatment plan. There is no one topical suitable for all 7 billion people in this world. The same antibiotic that did not work before will work in skilled hands.
Depends on the type of acne. OTC Differin for blackheads and whiteheads, Benzoyl peroxides for pustules.
Your acne regimen is tailored to the type of acne you have. There is no one cream best for acne, Please visit your dermatologist to get more recommendations and for your yearly skin exams.
