What should I use if I have acne prone skin? I've tried olive oil and showering and washing it off with face wash right after but it still made me break out :/

Actually, too much hygiene often worsen acne as it renders the skin more prone to infection and reaction to chemicals. Washing the skin twice a day with a gentle soap is enough, and peels shouldn't be used too often.
Also, I have to disagree on the prescription doesn't work thing. I have been using Benzaclin for a year now and people don't even believe me when I tell them I had acne. But as soon as I don't use it for 3 days, it's back. The results are variable, so we shouldn't generalize over any specific case.
Hormones might play a role, so anything affecting it might affect your acne. Again, this is highly variable.
