I can't get my skin to stop breaking out. I drink lots of water. I also wash my face morning and night.
I have tried every thing under the sun. Is there anything that I can use that will help?

Go see a dermatologist. My friend had the same problem and the dermatologist discovered she had a hormone imbalance. Not only did taking some pills clear up her skin, but it fixed a few other issues as well. Dermatologists can also prescibe over the counter acne medication which will keep it under control a lot better than stuff you buy off the shelf.
As a homemade cure for zits:
1. Toothpaste will quickly bring a zit to the surface or shrink it... it's a toss up
2. Apple Cider Vinager will bring a zit to the surface and disinfect it quickly. It will help clear up your skin if you add 2 tsp to a glass of water and drink it daily. You can also try adding it to your favourite salad. (It will also make your hair shiny and help with sleeping).

is your complexion worse due to pregnancy? my skin was never flawless, but as soon as I got pregnant (both times), it was pretty bad. and apparently most women get beautiful glowing skin while pregnant! ha. you are probably doing all that you can, short of seeing a dermatologist. if you choose to do that, be sure he knows you are pregnant as there are products/medications you can't use. and talk to your ob about it, too.
also, be sure not to use a facial scrub, as that can irritate existing acne and make it worse. and be sure to use an oil-free moisturizer! good luck. i am 3 weeks from delivery and am hoping my skin clears up soon!!!

YOu can try changing your diet to see if that helps ie. cut out dairy for a week and then add it back in and watch for a difference - do the same for meats, breads, etc. Other than that, you'd have to see a dermatologist to see what help you can get.

Acne is normally due to hormones. My advise is to see a dermatologist. There are many treatments for acne...from the pill to oral anitbiotics to creams...the list goes on. See a Doctor first. Good Luck

I read that dairy is a huge factor in acne. Anything with dairy....milk, cheese, yogurt.....anything. Stop eating/drinking dairy and see what happens.
