I relate. I have had moderate to bad acne my whole life and only when I had special steroidal medication for my eyes did my skin ever clear up. But I have got it managed so that I only have a half-dozen zits at a time these days.
I have found that the salycilic acid stuff does not work but rather makes it worse. I was given a formula for treatment by a Lush salesperson that worked really well. Fresh Pharmacy soap, only at night. In the morning, just use their tea-tree oil-based spray. Resist the urge to put on any salicyclic acid or other face wash. What this did for me was let the inflammations calm down (fresh pharmacy contains calamine lotion for inflammation).
But diet does make a difference I'm learning. If I have a chocolate bar, I break out. There's a 1 to 1 match on that. Or any other kind of junk food. I guess my body just doesn't like junk food.
And I'm finding certain lipsticks cause me to break out. I actually had a first the other day - a zit ON my lip (rather than just around my lips).
Other than that Lush recommendation, I'm sorry I can't add more. But I can empathise for sure!
