[Acne] Acne went from under control to out of control...

Beauty Tips For Body Care
When I first joined this sub, my skin was in fairly good condition, and I was looking to take it from just fine to great. I’m on hormonal birth control, and after the first few months of transitioning (three years ago), my skin cleared up and remained that way. I was following a routine with just a cleanser and moisturizer, and while I didn’t think it was making my skin amazing, it was keeping it clear and I was fine with that. I switched to just OCM cleansing with hemp seed oil a few months ago, and saw my skin take a turn for the better — improved complexion, softer, glowing skin, but all the sudden, my skin started not to take it so well. I noticed blackheads developing in places I didn’t usually get them. My occasional spots of acne didn’t go away as they normally would after a few days, until it got to the point where I would say that I definitely had acne again. Even after switching back to my tried and true routine, my skin didn’t seem to care, so I visited a derm to get this dealt with. She prescribed me a new routine, and I’ve stuck to it for about a month now, and my acne seems… well, even worse. My acne comes and goes, but I can’t tell if it’s my skin purging for (what feels like) the longest time, or if there is seriously something wrong with my skin. I feel so lost right now. I would like to visit my derm again, but I felt like she didn’t really listen much to me last time, and kind of feel like she wants to just sell me her products… any help is really appreciated.Routine: AM – * Rinse face with warm water * Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel (have used this for years, as mentioned) * (Shower) * CeraVe PM Moisturizing Facial LotionPM – * Rinse face with warm water * Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel * Rinse face with warm water * Apply CeraVe PM Moisturizing Facial Lotion mixed with a pea-sized amount of Tretinoin Gel, 0.025% OR * Apply Glycolic Acid (10%) with cotton ball, let sit for 10 minutes * Rinse face with warm water * CeraVe PM Moisturizing Facial Lotion
