21, male. face reacts to every topical/moisturizer besides zinc and basic face wash.. when should my acne finally stop being stubborn and clear up?

Unknown: Although many people's acne improves after adolescence, in some cases people will have acne for their whole life. It is hard to know if you will "outgrow" acne, however continue good hygiene by washing your face with mild soap daily, and consider using benzoyl peroxide daily.
