I am having such a frustrating dilemma with my skin; I'll start with the beginning. Since the age of 16, I have been dealing with persistent acne which just will not go away. Now, I am 18 and it seems to be getting worse and worse! I have been testing a countless amount of products, along with diet / lifestyle changes, to attempt to get rid of my acne but nothing seems to be working. Generally, I can get rid of all active-acne(s) for around one to two weeks, but then another breakout sprouts out of nowhere. Unfortunately, it has gotten to the point where I do not like leaving the house anymore and it's really effecting my life; I want to progress with my life and move on, but I just can not with this skin disorder holding me back.

Furthermore, I'm going to state my current skincare routine. In the morning, I generally just wash my face with water; I have stopped cleansing my skin twice a day, and I have seen wonders with the texture, hydration and overall condition with my skin. Next, I follow up with a k-beauty toner by Acwell which contains zero comedogenic ingredients, silicones or harmful ingredients which may potentially worsen acne. After this step, I follow with the Drunk Elephant C-Firma serum, which has really helped my skin with the post-acne discolouration, along with the texture of my skin and the overall condition of my skin. Then, I apply the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra gel-moisturiser which has significantly helped with the hydration of my skin, along with the already stated. Finally, I follow up with the Paula's Choice SPF30 for oily skin (the matte one with a slight tint). At night, I double cleanse my skin using the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil along with the COSRX Low pH cleanser. After this step, I follow up with the Biologique Recherche P50W, which by the way has worked wonders with my skin tone, texture and overall health. Then, I follow up with the COSRX Snail Mucin essence, the COSRX Propolis Light Ampule and the Drunk Elephant Protini moisturiser.

Now, with my lifestyle (male). Within my diet, I do not consume any dairy whatsoever, and I do not consume any sugars - unless it's a natural sugar within fruits. My diet is focused mainly on low-glycemic load foods and anti-inflammatory foods. For breakfast, I consume oatmeal which is made with unsweetened almond milk, along with red grapes and strawberries. For lunch, I generally have a consumable along with hummus. For dinner, I generally consume basmati rice along with organic poultry or meat. I drink around 2L of water per day, along with herbal teas. I do not stress much, and I'm generally pretty happy and in peace.

If anyone has any recommendations for me, please help me! Thank you.
