Anyone know why I'm breaking out in acne? I'm 22, male and I take care of my skin. I wash my face, then use benzoyl peroxide and then I moisturise. For a few years, this worked, but over the last few months, my acne has returned.

I'm wondering what exactly could be causing it. For starters, it's really hot lately and I exercise regularly, so I'm sweating a lot. I take whey protein. I drink a fair amount of milk and a lot of water. I drink cod liver oil in liquid form.

I can't think of what else it could be.

Have you had any stress this past few days?

Some people blame acne on milk, since it contains hormones and steroids.
Try soy milk instead if you like.
What do you use for washing?
Get a super sensitive, ph-skin neutral, shower gel.
Stay away from sharp stuff like soap, it only irritates your skin more.

No, I have a pretty stress free life.

I might try cutting down on milk a little bit.
Currently to wash my face I use is exfoliating wash. It says on the bottle that it is 100% soap free and pH balanced.

I have a similar problem...however my acne isnt bumps, its like a series of red dots that are same level surface as the rest of my skin...when I get a tan they go away but come back as actual pimples later.

Go to a dermatologist. If your acne is cystic, it could be too deep for any topical treatment to have any effect. I was in the same boat as you. Controlled it with benzoyl peroxide for four years. Then, when I was twenty, out of nowhere my face breaks out with utterly horrible, deep acne, all over my face. Went to the derm, she put me on accutane, and it cleared me up in a couple months.
