Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

In the past 3 months my confidence has been ruined by these breakouts I'm having. Usually my acne isn't that bad only moderate but sometimes I will get huge painful zits. My acne is always present no matter how much it improves. In the last 2 weeks my skin has gone from ok to being some of the worst  Ive ever had. 
I think it could be a hormonal issue because for a long time I didn't have periods due to an eating disorder and  only 3 months ago I got it back. Then my self esteem started to crumble because of these horrible breakouts :( maybe my period is to blame?
To treat my acne I use:
St Ives apricot scrub (salicylic acid 2%) every day
Differin every day
Biore baking soda scrub every other day for exfoliation
Sometimes I use a face mask when I feel especially ugly and defeated... But it doesnt do much
Please help me!! I can tell it's getting worse and I dont want to be dealing with these cysts forever.

Hey, how old are you? If you are in your teens then it might be a sign of hormonal acne.
I would say that the best way to go forward right now is to first fix the diet: vitamins, veggies, fruits, healthy fats. And cut out all bad food.
