How good is this cleanser? Does it leave any oiliness behind? skin type- oily acne prone.

I'm 22 F. I have been getting acne on and off since I was 15. There were a few years that I did not just care about it and I let the acne grow on my face however it wanted to because I felt helpless. But recently, I became too conscious about it, thought of giving it a try and it's been eight months since I have left dairy products(except curd), changed my moisturizer to a gel-based moisturizer which is safe for oily acne-prone skin, changed my sunscreen to oil-free, changed my pillow covers twice a week, used a gentle cleanser, consistently been applying the gel formulation combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, started eating super healthy, avoided sugar for almost a year haven't been eating any chocolates or ice creams or super sugary fruits or pizzas or burger or junk or anything, have been trying to control my insulin spikes (I eat oats in the morning to control my insulin spike and take a bit of amla powder in the evening to fight the inflammation inside my gut, although my gut is super healthy and I don't think I have any problem in my GIT). So basically, I have been controlling everything that is a known trigger of acne for about 8 to 9 months and honestly, the frequency and number of my acne breakouts has been reduced, but I still keep getting 2 or 3 breakouts here and there and it literally ruins my face. I feel so ugly and at this point, I feel like I wanna give up and nothing can help anymore. My routine right now includes using azelaic acid in the morning as a leave-on under moisturizer and sunscreen before I wash my face with water in the evening, and adapalene under moisturizer every night. Recently I started using chemical peels, Ordinary Red one, and honestly I got great results for my hyperpigmentation, but I naively used it too much, like once in five or six days, kept about 10 minutes. My skin is oily, so I thought my barrier is okay because my skin still felt oily especially in these summers, but then later AI told me that your skin can still be barrier broken and oily at the same time, so I need to reduce my chemical peel, give my skin a break of about three or four days, and then restart the routine without the peel for a while, using only azelaic acid and adapalene in my routine, which I have been following over a month or so now. I don't know at this point how I fkin get rid of my acne. What do I do to stop it? I don't even use makeup products anymore with the fear of it causing acne. I feel so frustrated and ugly all the time.

Couldn't write it here due to a technical issue so I'm writing about the post in the comments.

My eyebrows are so thick and dense and for the same reason they grow back really quick whenever I trim. It's not like I cannot afford to go to the salon/parlour every week but it gets really inconvenient especially with my busy and unfixed schedules. I want to try doing my eyebrows myself and see if this works. Has anybody tried out these tools? How are they and what has your experience been with them? Does it affect your browhair growth too much once you start using them?
