[Acne] I get "cyclical" breakouts. How can I make it stop?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi!My skin is really annoying in that: I have acne all over my face for 2 weeks, it dies down after another week and then for a couple of days I'm spot free (apart from scabs and hyperpigmentation).Every time I'm at the "clear" stage, I think "perhaps it won't start again" but I'm quickly proved wrong after I wake up with acne bumps under my skin. Over the next couple of days they fill with puss, turn disgusting and my acne fun starts again.This is becoming really bad for my skin since the really big "chunks" of acne are starting to leave dark pigmentation after they disappear. The acne itself is also quite painful and there have been times where I popped spots in my sleep (I'm a rough sleeper) which meant that I woke up to spots of blood on my pillow!Skin type: Black. Normal.Routine: Wash with water everyday/night. Exfoliate every couple of days with "St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub". Starting to use sunscreen SPF 30.So I guess I'm asking for advice on things to use to stop acne and hyperpigmentation. Thing is, a lot of the stuff I've tried (before) doesn't work or makes me spottier and I don't have the means to try everything (reason: student).If it helps here's a silly pic of me from last month (forgive my stupid hair, I just woke up and I got that shit cut ASAP). I would say this is me at the late "clear" stage. If you zoom in you'll see bumps. Those bumps turned into huge spots before scabbing over or got popped.Thanks for reading :)
