I just started the acne.org regime. Everyone on YouTube raves about it. It has made my skin super dry, but everyone says that's one of the side effects of the Benzoyl Peroxide. I stopped for a bit and ordered the jojoba oil to put in my moisturizer because I hear it works wonders. So I'll continue to try the regime soon. Because the first few weeks I started, my skin looked so much better!!
I had (and still kinda do) a lot, too, it's horrible I know. I'm not sure what foods you eat, but I eliminated wheat and limited myself to how much processed sugar (aka junk food) and dairy products. It's made such a huge difference. If this is too extreme for you (it's worked for me because my whole family made the switch) just try to eat lots of fruits, veggies, and try not to eat a lot of processed foods. Good luck and it does get better. :)
@Shelly T. I've added a cleansing oil into my cleansing rotation and it actually has helped my skin in regards to the minor breakouts I was getting. The key is to avoid those with mineral oil. And its great at removing eye make-up without stinging.
I had moderate to sever(at times) acne on my face along with hyperpigmentation. I switched to organic and natural face products, started working out regularly, cut out most refined sugar and that has helped tremendously. I also picked up this Epsom salts routine nightly in that i dissolve some epsom salts in water and rinse it over my face after i use a cleanser/efoliate. The epsom salts has helped keep white/blackheads and pimples at bay...i havent even had to wear foundation since i started this regimen.

Oil Cleansing Method, perhaps? It may seem counterproductive, but I know there are those who swear by it.
