My acne was nowhere near that bad but properly washing my face + retinol cream every night cured me.

Yes. People will tell you to cut out all this shit but I've worked with so many fat slobs with perfectly clear skin. Can you grow facial hair?

what i would recommend is just to stick to a milder retinoid like adapalene for a long time and have a very basic skincare routine + spf. i would also recommend putting a clean towel every night on your pillow that's washed with marseille soap detergent (no fabric softener)

my brother would have acne for his entire life (while I have had clear skin my entire life) and now has some scars on his face, but the clean towel did miracles for him.

i know it's a shot in the dark but there's nothing to lose

you probably have something in your environment that you're allergic to. a pet, your pillow stuffing, something in your diet, etc. even the worst acne still exists for a reason. get more sunlight, go swimming in high chlorine water frequently, dont pick at your face obviously, etc
