It looks like it's just around your hairline. I wonder if one of your hair products could be causing it. Have you started using anything new?

Excess oil from your hair/hair products?..

I use biore face wash products when I have breakouts.
or the body shop seaweed exfoliate.

I did change shampoos but this was after the breakouts started.. I've gotten a few on my cheeks but nothing major I'll try changing shampoos again. See if this works thanks ladies

I don't think its shampoo.
have you been using hair oil/dry oil.
it looks like you been wearing your hair down n its rubbing your cheek slightly n breaking out your edges

I haven't been using a hair oil. And my hair has been up 99% of the time. Because of my job it requires me to keep it up so it's usually in a messy bun

There are multiple causes to acne - from your diet to stress to cosmetics or skin care products you use on your face to the weather affecting your skin - we probably won't be able to tell you the cause as we are not experts and have not been monitoring any changes in these aspects of your life - so if you want to get rid of this stuff fast without making it worse - I would see a dermatologist - also as we age our skin changes as well and though you may not have had acne growing up - now that you are an adult your hormones are changing so it could be hormonal... Only the derm will be able to tell you for sure

@Melissa.
gotcha..

then Diana is right. it could b anything at this point..

age. hormonal changes. breakouts around your period hormonal changes. stress. or work environment (I come across a lot of dirt at work n my face shows results. if its a crazy wk, I break out. if its a wk of meetings there's a huge difference)..

in my humble opinion it really looks lime grease. my skin changed from dry to combo more oily since I've crossed over 30. your skin could literally b changing.
try tea tree oil as a spot treatment once you've cleaned your face n moisturized. see if that helps.
another thing I do during breakouts is ditch my moisturizer for a night or two. just use a basic serum.. sometimes we put our skin into overload with product useage.

Oh and one more thing I meant to say on the "grease" tip.
could also b your intake..too much greasy food/fatty food. not enough green veggies n water.

like Diana said. could b anything. those are just some suggestions of things to think about.

Mine started in my mid-20s and at 44 I still have issues with it. Mine is hormonal. See a dermatologist. They can tell you what's happening, and can help you manage and get rid of it. I've found Clean and Clear Persa-gel works great to control mine, but I have super oily skin, so it doesn't dry me out. Cetaphil oil-control moisturizer works well for me too.

I would recommend seeing a dermatologist I went to get my skin checked and now my skin is pretty much clear! They can probably give you the best advice on what to use and all of that.
