[acne] My acne is bacteria-based. Antibiotics have stopped my acne before. I'm using Clorox wipes (bleach) on my face once a day to great results. Tell me why this is bad

Post Body

I deliver food on a scooter almost every day. I wear my helmet for hours at a time without taking it off.

I've noticed that if I don't do anything when I get home, by the end of the night hours later I've developed greasy whiteheads and acne. If I use a Clorox wipe on my face as soon as I get home, my face stays acne-free and feels much fresher although by nightfall when I take my shower it is starting to get a bit greasy again

I apply 2% topical antibiotic every night after showering and 10% benzoyl peroxide every morning after rinsing off. But this isn't enough if I'm sweating into a helmet and attracting bacteria to my pores

Btw, no matter what I do, my face can NEVER get too dry. It's always trying to be greasy or oily and this is what leads to acne. Whenever I swim in chlorine or use Clorox wipes on my face, my face dries out a bit and feels perfect, not too oily and just right. But a couple of hours later it's already overtaken by a light grease that I can see on my finger if I wipe it across my face. This necessitates another Clorox wipe or else it will start brewing acne IMMEDIATELY

Any advice is welcome
