Accutane is a hardcore drug with serious side effects. Obviously it effects many people differently, and this drug should only be for people who are very desperate to get rid of acne. To others and OP, I'd suggest like what other people have stated earlier and see a dermatologist. They'll give you the treatment path that will suit you. (Obviously) Depending on your severity, it ranges from simple daily upkeep and topical creams to oral drugs and finally accutane. You won't be started on accutane first and it's the only oral drug that has such serious side effects. Youv'e mentioned that you've tried proactive and other topical washes so perhaps a light oral drug will be effective. (Your acne doesn't sound severe enough to warrant Accutane, and that's a good thing but I'm no expert and either are any posters here). With deciding to use Accutane, prospective users must balance the risks of adverse and possibly dangerous health problems with the desire of clear skin. It's your choice and no one but yourself can really choose. If you have any mental illness, don't touch it. Pregnant or possibly planning to, don't touch it, don't like any of the side effects, don't touch it. Sorry for going on, but its a nasty heavy duty drug with heavy duty side effects and while it's highly effective, the mentioned side effects are why specialists and doctors don't go straight to it.
As mentioned earlier it dries skin and makes it very sensitive to the sun and depending on where you live, places with high U.V will cause serious damage and image-wise will increase sunspots . Psorasis(sp) is also a common issue during and after usage. (Flakey skin, also may increase dandruff). Sorry for the huge post but I think just saying "Dont touch Accutane" is incorrect as it's up to the individual but there is a valid point in that there are many downsides to it.
