From my own personal experience it is mostly hormonal but if I used a cleanser that is to harsh and starts stripping away too much of my natural oil I would end up with a raw face and more acne. I now mostly use plain olive oil to clean my face with pretty good results.

Excessive face washing would certainly dry out your skin. Acne can be hormonal and/or bacterial.

If I wash my face good in the morning and at night, along with after workouts, my complexion stays mostly clear from acne. I have oily skin, so I am prone to getting breaking out. I do use paraben-free, SLS-free wash and moisturizer.

Too much of anything can be bad. The key to everything is balance.

I would suggest a good skincare regimine.
All the way from a gentle cleanser to a good moisturizer with spf to finish.

If its severe, you may with to make an apt with a good dermatologist
or estatician (have no idea how to spell that), hehe
