I never had acne growing up but when I got to my mid-twenties, I started having it. So now I basically have adult acne! Trouble is, my skin is dry so using most formulas for acne make my skin peel and feel horrible. I need something more natural.
Tea tree oil is said to be one of the best. You can mix it with anything you wish. I think the most important thing to fighting acne though is drinking enough water and eating the right foods.

You want to adjust your diet. Focusing on the surface will never stop the problem. In some cases, it just makes it worse. Some people swear by just drinking more water.
Alba Botanica (I think is the brand) sells a line called Acnedote and it had helped my sister clear up her issues with acne. She started getting it when she was 24 out of nowhere. I think this was because she had given birth and her hormones changed.
Try washing your face with special water, other thank tap. Maybe spring water or alkaline water. See if that helps. Sometimes it is the water we wash with that is causing issues.
