Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong?

I've been doing the following for the past few months (5) and still have a lot of pimples on my face (but the worst part is that I also have a TON of dark spots on my face too...IDK what those are, I don't think they're pimples).

Anyways, here's what I'm doing

Morning:

Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask with like 3.5% BP

Acanya (BP + Clindamycin phosphate)

Afternoon:

Doxycycline Mono 150mg

CeraVe PM lotion - moisturizer

Night:

Atralin (Tretinoin)

CeraVe Hydrating Clenser - face wash no BP

Any suggestions?

Dark spots - BP reduces healing and inflammation, so the dark spots are probably sticking around after the active acne has faded because of that (scarring)

Acne - Your regimen looks solid. Your acne should be eradicated with all that stuff after 5 months. If your acne is inflammatory, I would take a look at your diet. Food sensitivities and blood sugar spikes can cause/worsen acne.
