maybe cucumber, because I notice it's just a general face deficiency.

I don't think it's stress, it's the summer. I stopped using the Stridex pads since I realized they barely make a difference, and I want to go natural. I also stopped worrying about acne for at least a year now, I just started thinking about it again today. I often touch my face so that could be a problem.

What do you think works for you?

Oh and also of course diet, crap in, crap out, but I've already started eating healthier.
Acne is a real puzzle to solve and for the most part everyone has to find there own cure. Usually the science of it comes down to out of control insulin levels, allergies or intolerancies, hormones, a challenged immune system. The immune system has diffent response to threats in the body, some how the acne respone is a delayed one, which is why they think acne usually happens 1-5 days later from the culprit, e.g some bad food etc.
Staying off greasy food is a dam good start, essentially what you need to aim for is keeping your body clean and healthy as possible. Eating lots of veg, drinking lots of water, staying off soda, donuts, i.e refinded sugar.
Drinking lemon or apple cider vinegar is a good start too,maybe note it all in a journal, give it a few weeks see what happens
