reason for acne on face - #13975

Kiaan

I am really struggling with this acne situation on my face and can’t seem to figure out the reason for acne on face. It's been going on for months now, and it feels like I've tried everything. I'm 28, and I've never had bad skin before, but suddenly, it's like my face is staging a rebellion! At first, I thought it was just stress from work since I've been super busy, but even after trying some relaxation techniques, my skin just keeps getting worse. I've been on different creams and washes but nothing seems to help. The weird part is, I’ve also changed my diet recently, hoping to cut out junk food, and started eating healthier, yet still no luck! My dermatologist mentioned hormones might be a factor, especially since my cycles have been kind of erratic. However, I still can't find a clear reason for acne on face from what I've read online. Can it really be hormonal or could something else be going on? I’m starting to feel desperate because it’s affecting my confidence. Some friends suggested maybe it's related to the products I'm using, but I've been careful to avoid harsh ingredients! Is it possible there’s more than one reason for acne on face, or do most people find it’s mainly hormonal or dietary? Anyone else experienced a sudden outbreak like this? What did you figure out?
