I found out I got acne from using anti acne products, as weird as it sounds.
The reason why I started using anti acne products was because of a few zits (That would probably only last for a short time anyway), but instead of just applying BP on it, I 'smeared' it around it in a big area without moisturizer which caused great irritation, and I got a lot more. I didn't link those two back then, which I didn't for many months.
I tried a lot of products, where some worked better than others.. Well, that's what I thought. Some just made me break out less than others.
I haven't got a single one for a month now, and my red marks are nearly gone.
By the way, I never got scars by popping every single pimple or picking them, I don't know if that has anything to do with each other.
Has anyone else cleared their acne by just doing nothing? I am 99% sure this is what stopped my breakouts, or else some switch just turned off inside my body

How old are you? Yes, you could have been irritating your skin and causing more breakouts. But generally if one is very gentle with their skin and uses a little bit of an acne product they wouldn't break out. The other thing is, especially if you are older, is that actually you could just have very sensitive skin that may be prone to rosacea. People with true rosacea generally can't tolerate any kind of acne product without getting a flare-up.
