[skin concerns] since almost completely stopping skincare, my skin has cleared a lot.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So I (17F) had been dealing with a lot of inflamed acne on the sides of my cheeks and a bit of hormonal acne on my chin, with the occasional pimple on my forehead if I went crazy on the sugar 2 days ago. I also had ALOT of blackheads and cc’s on my temples and forehead too.I Skyped my brother and he noticed my acne and of course gave his unsolicited advice (he has perfect skin) and basically said stop using products and only wash your face with cold water at night. At this point, I had tried a million products and none had done anything, some made it worse, so I just thought I’d give it a go. And my skin has cleared up SO much since then (about a week ago now) and I’m only dealing with scarring.My point is, me not using skincare is going to bite me back in the future, but everything I used has not helped or has broken me out. I've tried CeraVe, TO, The Inkey List, Paula's Choice and basically every salicylic acid product out there. Every sunscreen makes me look as if I've dipped my face in a McDonald's fat fryer and even the most gentle cleansers feel stripping on me (apart from 1 which I can't get my hands on atm because the drug stores are shut in my country). I only do a night routine once per week which is a salicylic acid cleanser,TO Glycolic toner (to help scarring) and a CeraVe moisturizing lotion (I hate using this because it's not cruelty-free but it's all that works atm).I know I need to wear sunscreen and I need to moisturize but I really don't know what to do if everything is going to just break me out. Have any of you gone through something similar?
