Its not the food, cause I am fit (finally!!) and I dont pick at it, and when I shave it doesnt get affected... so I said fuck it ill try it.
Heard it can hurt your system though... any suggestions, warnings....
Btw I am 19, so I know it might just be a phase but I dont care.

I had bad acne all through highschool -- all the pills and creams didn't do shit -- neither did exercise... This is what worked for me back then -- a special diet, but now I'm older -- so I have even more advice... although I have not had bad acne since highschool, my skin got crappy recently due to the smoking I did after college...
This is not easy, but I know when you have acne problems at that age, you'll try anything.
1. Cut out all dairy products. No icecream, no milk, no cheese, yogurt, etc. -- NOTHING with milk (very difficult)
2. Cut out all sugar from your diet except from fruits, etc.
3. No yeast products -- ie: no bread, donuts, etc.
4. No beer or alcohol.
5. No coffee or chocolate.
6. Eat foods that are good for your skin -- here's only a short list. Sweet potatoes (I like to eat them raw), Cucumbers -- do a web search on this. You'll be eating lots of salad and shit like that...
7. Meditation.
8. Drink lots of water and get lots of cardio -- make sure you are sweating like a mofo.
9. Stay away from oily, greasy foods (duh).
10. If you can, try to remove meat from your diet -- this will also cut back your raging hormones...
These acne pills really just fuck with your reproductive system -- read the fine print -- all it does is lower your testosterone levels and you can do permanent damange to your reproductive system... that's why you can't take the shit for more than 2 weeks. Stay away from that shit. I took it for a little while and found that it just took away my sexual appetite...
If you can do these steps -- I guarantee your skin will clear up. Don't even bother with topical medication shit -- you will probably do more damage than anything. Now that I look back I wish I had no used any topical shit on my face. Your friends will call you a fucking rabbit for eating like this but it works -- mine cleared up around 18... I only had to stick to this diet for a few months strictly -- after that I started eating more normal. After I changed my diet in highschool, most of those habits stayed with me my whole life.
Also you may worry about acne now that you are young -- but accept it for what it is. You've got more hormones than most of the little punks in your school -- that just means you're more of a man. If you think about acne as an evolutionary indicator -- you're showing the female the intensity of your sexual appetite... Some monkeys have cheeks that match the color of the testicles -- and nose to match the cock -- facial hair -- acne -- all the same shit... sexual response indicators. When you get older if you have scars under your skin like I do you will probably grow to appreciate them a lot more as a symbol of your manhood. Be proud man -- fuck these drugs designed to profit from your insecurity and ignorance.
