Something you might be interested in looking into is whether sulfates could be causing or worsening your acne. I don't know how common the problem is, and I'm not a dermatologist or anything, but I discovered my body has bad reactions to sulfates and the most helpful thing I did to combat acne was to eliminate sulfates, in particular Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLS). This is a huge pain in the butt because they are so commonly used (they are in everything: dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, body wash, face wash, makeup, toothpaste, etc), but it was worth it for me as the difference in my acne levels are night and day since I started avoiding sulfates. Just thought I'd mention it because no one ever mentioned it to me and it was a whole load of trial-and-error before I found out what the major cause was.
