[Acne] Please help! 30m needs advice on his routine to clear up mild/moderate adult acne

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi! I am hoping to get some sound advice on my skincare routine. If the context helps, I am East Asian (born and raised in the US) and I have been dealing with acne my entire life since I was a teenager. And lately have been dealing with breakouts that have been creeping back up on me.Treatments that have worked for me in the past (and eventually stopped working) include:Proactiv - 2 yearsDuac - 2 yearsEpiduo - 6 or 7 yearsLately I’ve been doing my own routine which includes:AM: - Wash with Purpose soap - Moisturize dry areas with Cerave - Mix 2.5% benzoyl peroxide w/Cetaphil SPF 15 (1:1 ratio) spread across my whole facePM: - Wash with Purpose soap - Moisturize with Cerave - Mix pea-sized amount of Differin 0.1% with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and apply to Cheeks & Chin - Apply 2.5% benzoyl peroxide to T-zoneThe zits that I’m getting, along with the dry patches are mainly just on my cheeks and chin. I may be clear for a few days at a time and all of a sudden I’ll have a cluster of inflamed pustules and the occasional cyst which is getting super annoying. I’m wondering if I should increase my Differin strength to 0.3% since my skin might’ve gotten used to it over the years.The T-zone is the only clear part of my face so I’m even wondering if I should drop the Differin and maybe just try using the BP on my entire face rather than just my T-zone. Any advice is appreciated!!
