For the past few years I have suffered from really bad spots, getting them frequently and they'd always be red and sore. Just recently i managed to calm them down and now I get less, but I still get them by the load. However, since I managed to calm them, I now only ever get spots in the same areas, I always get a cluster of about 2/3 huge red spots in the centre of my cheek, 2 on how forehead and 2 on my chin and as soon as one is recovering, another appears. I have noticed that the minimal products I use on my face, the better my skin looks. I wear makeup everyday so I need to obviously use products to remove it, "simple" is the only to keep them sort of at bay. I just want advice on how to take care of my skin to be honest, in a way which might benefit my type of skin cos feel like I've hit a wall

Hi!
That looks to me like it could possibly be hormonal acne! I was diagnosed with it and I would get a lot of acne on my cheeks and some on my jawline.
If you are looking for a gentle cleanser have you tried the Neutrogena make-up remover wipes? Use the blue packaged one as the pink is scented and my skin did not react well (maybe we have similar skin). After I remove my make-up, I wash my face using a cetaphil bar soap. So gentle on my face!
Hopefully that helped some!

Key is to control the inflammation,you need to get plenty of food with antininflammitory benefits in your system.
the red is inflammation,this tirns then to a white head.control the inflammation and you should be spot free.
i eat acne fruendly diet and just introduced a lot more fruit including blueberries.you will notice before you get break out tbat some times you feel the irritation,itch and pain before you get red and inflamed.
Your skin doesn't look to bad + you look like a really pretty girl, so don't let those few spots get you down! What products do you use to control your acne? I'd use a standard protocol of BPO + some topical antibacterial creme for a few weeks. If your skin can't handle BPO, I'd use Niacineamide instead.
