I'm so sorry, OP. I'm in my 30's, and here has what has worked for me.

Diet: no dairy, no processed sugar, only fish and seafood, I only drink water, almond milk, and alcohol (but no liquor or cocktails)

Exercise: 5 times a week

Skincare (both AM and PM routines): vitamin c serum, sunblock, niacinamide, lactic acid, Differin, sulfur soap, Clarisonic

Lifestyle: wash makeup brushes daily, sleep on clean pillow cases daily

And another. It is miraculous, you just have to be patient as it takes some time.

Accutane. Did it at 30 and my only regret is that I didn't do it at 14.

Curology. Seriously made my persistent 40 year old acne disappear in 8 weeks. I was so frustrated one day on vacation, saw the ad on my social media and literally signed up without another thought. Not one zit in almost a year.

Same, OP. The only thing that worked for me was spironolactone. It was a magical pill. I would have stayed on it forever but had to stop because it interferes with pregnancy. I thought about going on it again after I finished breastfeeding but then I was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided not to use any hormone-altering drugs.

This is contrary to most advice but I now only wash my face once a day and my acne is so much better. Started out of pure laziness but then my skin improved. Then I changed my moisturizer to one without alcohol which helped even more. I think the old moisturizer plus washing my face twice a day was too drying and caused breakouts.

Also wearing a mask probably does not help chin and jawline acne, but at least it cannot be seen!

Accutane. I took it at 34 and it changed my life.

Are you touching your face? Like resting your jaw on your fist? When I do that I get zits.
