I am fairly certain it's just a lot of clogged pores but I would really appreciate any other opinions or ideas. I don't wear makeup often at all so it's not the main cause for this, though I know it can contribute. My acne is mainly hormonal but I wonder if I'm allergic to something I'm eating.
The pictures are with and without makeup to show the contrast. Thank you!
It looks like clogged pores and hormonal acne to me too. Keep in mind that skincare products can attribute to clogging your pores as well. In addition, hair products (i.e. hairspray), pillowcases, etc. can worsen pore clogging. AHA should help with clogged pores, but do some trial & error testing to see which products may or may not be clogging you. I got terrible clogged pores from my moisturizer before and didn't know that was the culprit until I stopped using it for several weeks.
