Am I suffering from hormonal acne that has traveled up my face?

I hate that I'm resorting to a thread but I have no idea what to do anymore!!

I have always had perfect skin; from grade school through college it has been flawless. October 2015 I started birth control for periods that were too frequent. I stopped the pills in June of 2016. The first week of February of this year (22 years old), I started breaking out on my cheeks and chin. I had no idea where it was coming from, as I have not changed my eating or exercise habits. The only thing I can guess is that it is post-birth control hormone related. I had a hormone test done at the beginning of this month and my levels came back normal.

I am cleaning my face twice a day with Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser, Special Cucumber Lotion, and the Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 17.

I am breaking out with cystic acne on my cheeks (everywhere but mostly upper left and lower right), chin, and hairline (mainly left side). I have closed comedones between my eyebrows and all over my chin and marionette lines. I get pimples throughout my hairline and my nose has tiny blackheads but that does not bother me.

If anyone can give me advise or help me out, I would really appreciate it!!!
