ok in my opinion, you are putting too many chemicals on your face.
and bp is deffinently not good for mild acne, or it might be, but you'll have to rely on it your whole life. so, if i were you i would drop the topicals.

i have no idea what your skin looks like, but i would suggest choosing one product with lots of essential oils, or natural ingredients and using that everynight. in the morning or when you come home from school, just rinse your face with water. and if you really are serious about getting rid of your acne, i would suggest drinking 4 table spoons of apple cider vinegar everyday because it's supposed to make you 100% free of acne. but it tastes horrible, you have to be willing to do it. but good luck, hope i helped!

That's the kind of acne I had, and Dan Kern's Regimen worked really well for me: http://www.acne.org/regimen.html
The biggest differences between what you're doing now and it are that a) you use an unmedicated gentle cleanser, since medicated cleansers don't leave enough of the active ingredient behind on your skin to be effective but are generally very drying and b) you use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide all over your face after cleansing and use more and more to get used to larger amounts and prevent acne. You also need to moisturize, but you're already doing that, which is good!
