skin care

My skin has been driving me CRAZY lately. I've always had a small problem with acne, but it comes and goes and is usually isolated to one area of my face. For the past like 4 months? I've looked sort of like the "before" pictures in a proactive commercial. I've been trying EVERYTHING. I've never had this big a problem with my skin before! I'm sure part of it is hormone imbalance from the new birth control I'm on, and I don't want to mess with that, but I need to find some solution cuz this is really not okay. I tried a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment that made the spots go away, but now my whole face is red, dry, rough, and just angry looking.

HELP MEEEEE.

What do you guys use to keep your skin looking clear, fresh, and healthy?
