[Skin concern] [Routine Help] Feelin' sad about red pimples/acne, can't seem to find a solution.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hello all!I have learned a lot from this sub, and I like you people. So maybe you can help!I have had trouble with acne/pimples and redness on and off for years. I have gotten some form of control over my face, while I don't think I've ever had severe acne, I feel like I always have to wear cover up and I feel SO self conscious about my face. I feel extremely sad and afraid to take my cover up off even when I am at home with my fiance. In general, my problem areas tend to be my forehead, nose/areas near the side of my nose, upper lip, and definitely my chin.My routine:Morning: Wash face with water, sometimes Thayer's Witch Hazel instead (started Thayer's a week ago), moisturize with CeraVe moisturizing cream (been using for a long time and has helped).Night: Wash face with jojoba oil (Started about a month ago), CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Stridex pads, St. Ives Exfoliating Pads (nearing the last of my supply, RIP) and sometimes Thayer's Witch Hazel, and then moisturize. Sometimes I spot treat with a Target brand benzoyl peroxide which probably isn't good stuff. Once a week for 2 weeks I have been using a Dead Sea Mud Mask.I've been using the Stridex, St. Ives, and CeraVe products for a long time now, like a year or so. Sometimes I feel like I'm using too much stuff. Although I think using at least some of this stuff has definitely improved my situation from what it was. My forehead has gotten a lot better than what it has been. Also, I am fighting not popping pimples, which I have been doing pretty well about but definitely need to work on that terrible habit as well. It doesn't seem to be getting worse from any of these things, just not better...maybe I am doing too much for no reason.And, while I try to use fragrance free laundry detergent and change my pillowcase once a day or so, and try not to touch my face, I mean, we can't avoid EVERYTHING in the environment, so I try not to drive myself crazy with that.I feel like I am driving myself crazy, though. My chin has NEVER been clear or close to clear, is always spotted red and has what I think are closed comedones, and my upper lip and sides of my nose have been terrible. I can't remember an instance of not wearing cover up. I also get a lot of "underground" pimples. Here are pictures from today:http://i.imgur.com/wKfE5gb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rtdMIgE.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/9pfH1PT.jpg?1I just feel helpless and that I am throwing money and energy away on something that isn't benefiting me. I would go to a dermatologist but I am also in medical debt for other unrelated things and I don't think I can afford to go to a dermatologist at this time. All this has been wearing on me for a while and I am at a loss. I am sad.Any help would mean a lot. :)
