Please help! Massive acne flare up after months of clear skin

My skin has cleared up naturally (skin care, quit smoking etc) for the past 4/5 months and in the past week i have had the most horrendous breakout I've had in ages. I've been so happy with my skin the past couple months and seeing it like this again is sending me into a spiral.

In the past week/week and a half I've added/tried a few new things such as chia pudding, eating more berries etc. I also for one night tried the waterfacial from Drunk Elephant because my skin has felt so dry the previous fortnight. I also got my period the past week as well which is not helping at all with this massive flare up. it started with just the usual couple of cysts around the jaw (not that big or painful or obvious just annoying) and is now all over my face, white heads under the skin pimples and blackheads and it's painful. my exfoliator feels so irritating even focusing on barrier repair is making it worse.

I don't know what to do and I'm desperate. Should i book in a facial peel over the next couple days? My skin hasn't been this bad in months. Please any advice would be amazing!! Thank you so much!!

my back to basics routine

Drunk elephant cleansing balm

Sunday riley face wash

The rice polish classic from tatcha

Summer fridays oil free moisturiser

Summer fridays sunscreen

My face still feel so dry despite this routine rn and I'm so scared to go back to my non-acne routine which is pretty much the same just add in lala retro and marula oil(1-2 DROPs not droppers) mixed together every other night or TLC from DE or their retinol instead of the rice polish every other night i also use their vita c most mornings- this has helped so much with my barrier repair and acne scarring in the short three weeks i was using this before this past week
