Help me /cgl/ I have oily, congested spot prone skin and the past month has been HELL. I feel like the picture doesn't actually show how bad it is. I'm not sure why it has gotten so bad over the past few weeks but it's gotten to the point where iv'e stopped going out and just barricaded myself in my room. I did stop birth control in November last year but i would of thought if BC was the culprit for my acne it would have show up sooner and not 4-5 months after? I did have the odd spot here and there before and while on birth control but nothing like this.

Basically my forehead and temples are covered in tiny bumps (closed comedones?) and my chin is just gross. I haven't really ever had a solid skin routine just using whatever face wash we had in the house and a simple moisturizer. About a month ago i stated using Paulas Choice clear face wash, BHA and sunscreen (which i think makes me more oily but so does every other moisturizer). I used the BHA every 3 days for about 2 weeks then every 2 days for 1 week and now i'm using it every day. During the first 2 weeks I did purge with white heads and pimples. I'm still purging but i seem to be getting less red pimples on my forehead. I'm still getting white heads and red pimples on my chin. In the last week I have also started to use PCs AHA. So i use AHA in the morning and BHA at night, I don't seem to get any dry skin, flakey-ness or irritation using both of these. I'm hoping using the BHA and AHA is just purging my skin and bringing everything to the surface, what do you think? I'm looking for some reassurance or guidance that this will end and that it will eventually get better if i stick to my routine. Iv'e also ordered Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel to use at night because I currently use Dr Organic Skin Clear Moisturizer and i think it just makes me more oily. Urgh this is seriously getting me down and affecting my social life and my relationship :(
