Start simple: If you have no issues with medications, I would start with a simple benzoyl peroxide solution to treat your acne. More often the acne is a result of your hormones and how your skin reacts to them, not as much food related.

Start with basics: Starting with a mild cleanser and acne cream (benzoyl peroxide), then add a moisturizer that won't clog pores (non-comedogenic) to see what improvement you can get with over the counter medications. If issues continue after 6-8weeks, see you doctor for possible prescription creams.
