For bacne:
You’ll notice the trend here: salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid penetrates the skin, causes a softening and sloughing of the top layer of skin, and helps unclog pores to resolve and prevent acne. This acid is also lipophillic, which means it can even penetrate oily skin and already clogged pores, resulting in a deep cleaning. Salicylic acid can reduce sebum secretion, which is another way it can help reduce acne. Lastly, it's also an anti-inflammatory, which can help calm inflamed acne and promote healing.
As a final note, unrelated to the bacne.. please stop using R+F products. The products are of average quality at best, way over-priced, and even more overrated. Not least of all that MLM schemes should be avoided. If you need help with your skin care, the community info in this subreddit has a really excellent FAQ and wiki, and members are more than happy to answer questions.
Best of luck.
As someone who suffered from razor bumps my whole life, let me help!
Ok so the solution to razor bumps: Kill germs + exfoliate
You can do this in many different ways. There are lots of products out there (TendSkin, Bliss Ingrown Hair pads, etc) that are to treat razor bumps and they are all generally a mixture of alcohol and a chemical exfoliant (some type of AHA/BHA) You can try these products but Ive found it much easier to use my own.
My process:
Immediate bumps are caused by germs getting into your pores, which could come from your razor, your towel, your shower, really anything. This is why sanitizing with some type of alcohol immediately after shaving is important.
Bumps which appear later (especially next day after shave which was always when it happened for me) are caused by the hairs inability to push back through the surface of the skin properly. This is where exfoliating comes into play. Exfoliating after shaving and each day until your next shave helps the hairs come back through the skin with minimal irritation.
You can use any combo of products to kill germs and exfoliate. Ive used just pure alcohol and stridex pads before. The stridex pads work really well for this, actually. But I like using the SA lotion instead since its a lot more moisturizing and seems to work just fine. If you understand what you are trying to accomplish, then it doesnt really matter the products you use to achieve it.
I hope this helps! Hang in there!
I have had KP in places on my body and had read amazing things about Cerave: Rough and Bumpy Skin lotion... I recently tried this and it is by FAR the most effective lotion I have ever used for anything in my life.
Give it a chance, it was life changing for me!
Everything was Prime at my time of purchase and when I posted this so hopefully they will stay that way!
All the Cerave!!
Cereve in a Tub-new product for me...mostly use when skin is dry from night usage of prescription trentinol cream
Cereva SA Lotion-really helped with my acne
Cereva Foaming Face Cleanser-loving this face wash but might have to switch to the hydrating face cleanser come the dryer winter months
Other than Cerave:
Hada Labo Moist Lotion-great for quick-drying non-sticky moisture on the go, especially under make up or when I am rushing out the door
Biore UV Watery Essence SPF 50-love everything about this sunscreen except how quickly I go through it!
Mizon BHA/AHA -every other day exfoliation toner applied with cotton pad
REN Glycol Renewal Mask - weekly exfoliation, always makes my skin glow
I have relatively healthy skin, though it's prone to dehydration and occasional acne.

Edit: I just saw u/Scumteam14 adding a few notes about what you tried that may make my answer irrelevant, so please follow with what they said, They know their stuff. I will leave the recommendations if someone else has a similar case and is not sensitive to the actives I mentioned.
I've been using Cerave Renewing SA Lotion for a couple weeks now and it's made a huge improvement on my arms. Redness and bumps have been drastically reduced.

Always recommend the cera ve SA renewal cleanser. It’s amazing and events your skin and brightens it. I actually use the SA renewal body wash, you get a lot and I can use it on my face as well. The Cera Ve SA body lotion is also love, sometimes I use it on my face. Makes body super smooth, these two are dream team.
I think the dream routine:
Am:
Pm:
-melazepam 20% important and alternate between this and Retin a, but not everyone can handle either of these. But it goes to say these are anti-aging power horses
Great products:
Benton snail bee essence (the masks, steam pacts, everything..)
Just a few products to think about. I am by no way saying jump and add any of these to your routine instantly. I’ve looked around and found a lot of, what I’d consider to be talked about products and decided to make it easier and list them for you.
I think a basic SA cleanser like cera ve would be a good place to start, a good spf that is non-irritating. Find a moisturizing Oil thst your skin likes and then maybe start trying actives. Don’t go jumping in until you find a routine that calms your skin and that your skin really likes. Then start testing the waters with maybe azelic acid like melazepem (strongest you can get in us is on amazon) or vitamin c. Possible acid peel pads. We kind of have to know your skin type and current routine. Things that have worked and have not, and what you want out of a new skin routine— in order to give you better direction.
By troubles do you mean acne/bumps?
I suffered from blemishes on my back, behind my neck, bum, and backs of my arms for years until I made some routine changes, so hopefully these will help you too.
- DON'T leave whatever you use to scrub yourself in the shower to reuse. I used to use loofas and leave them in the shower, which were bacteria breeding grounds. I use wash cloths now and never use them more than once before washing them. Same goes for drying towels.
- Apply a body lotion with SA in it immediately after showering. Lotion helped my skin retain moisture and the SA would exfoliate dead skin so it doesn't build up and clog pores. I use Cerave
- Switched to a laundry detergent that doesn't have scents or dyes like "All Free & Clear"
A lotion with salicylic acid and/or lactic acid does the trick for me, like this or this. This also works, but it's alcohol-based and is very drying, so I usually follow up with something super moisturizing. Also check out this reddit post from skincareaddiction.
Do you take really hot showers? You may be drying out your skin.
I'd try an exfoliating lotion like this Cerave SA body lotion.
Oh I hear you. I'm on the same front, no birth control, try to make it bearable to deal with my monthly acne.
I'm not as familiar with oily skin. I damaged my skin by being too rough with it so it needs a lot of external support and is incredibly dry.
Have you considered any of these? I've used them all and did find they were effective over time and weren't too harsh.
Olay AHA moisturiser
nip/fab glycolic acid
Stridex BHA 2%
Crave 3% BHA
233 Reviews with an average of 4.5 stars. My results and the results of the majority of those who used the lotion indicates to me that whatever the pH it is at is appropriate for the acid to be effective.
Physical exfoliation isn't gonna do you a whole lot of good- mostly it's going to aggravate the condition, and can lead to scarring. What you'll want is to use chemical exfoliants. Alpha hydroxy acids will help clear off dead skin from the surface level, and are also humectants, so they'll make you skin feel moisturized. Beta hydroxy acids are better at getting down into the pore and cleaning all those keratin deposits out, and work as anti-inflammatories, so may help with the coloration issues you're seeing as well.
So, what to use? I'd alternate between using a lotion containing salicylic acid (this one would be a good choice, as Cerave products seem to be well-tolerated), which would get your BHA, and one with lactic acid, like the Amlactin mentioned elsewhere (I don't notice an unpleasant smell with it, but ymmv- finding a lotion with AHA should be fairly easy if you don't like the Amlactin). 2 things to remember- first, treatment only works if you're using it- you can't "cure" your KP, so you need to be regular with your application. Second is that AHAs make you photosensitive, so get good sunscreen for your arms. Last tip- don't use these lotions on areas that have been recently shaved. I spaced out last night and put Amlactin on freshly shaved legs and nearly died- it will burn like hell.
I got these after waxing my legs for the first time and now I’ll never wax my legs again. But I bought this lotion and used every night before bed. They are now all gone after a month.

I've struggled with bacne for my entire adult life and only now (maybe 2 months) see consistent results.
I use the following:

Then I follow with this but I didn't add it until after a week of just using the above was and my old moisturizer:

Best of luck!
If you're not using any skin products at all, a moisturizer or face wash with salicylic acid may actually help with the acne and I highly recommend trying one. If your country has any CeraVe products this is really great. Just because you're a dude doesn't mean your skin doesn't need taking care of.
It's almost definitely a diet thing then, but it could just be as simple as keto making you more oily than usual, even just so slightly that you don't really notice but enough to cause the breakouts. Again, acne can take a while to go away even if a trigger has been eliminated so you really do just have to be patient, even as much as it drives you nuts and sucks to do.
CeraVe has the best one I have found, but I’m not sure if many drugstores sell it. You can get it on amazon here
I would recommend sugaring in the future (as well as this bomb SA lotion. Always great to see them when I look straight ahead and line up the middle of it so much.
ive been using this: https://www.amazon.com/Cerave-Renewing-Skin-Lotion-Ounce/dp/B0071XPQQ2/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1494976301&sr=8-1&keywords=cerave%2Bsa%2Brenewing&th=1
it contains 3% salicyclic acid and my issue is still there
Personally, i have found this cream to be extremely effective: Cerave Sa Renewing Skin Lotion.
I used to have pretty severe redness and itchiness, but I lather it on really well after a shower, and it seems to do the trick.
If i don't take good care of myself (no excercise, heavy partying, etc), it tends to flair up pretty bad. Also, i lather up pretty good now before lending myself a helping hand...
Here are some ideas, from someone whose skin is very resistant to acne treatments:
