[Product Help] Which witch hazel: scented lavender, scented rose petal, original, or unscented? I love lavender and it's $3 cheaper, but I also love the rose scent. Should I be concerned about the fragrance? Which one do you prefer?

Hi! Welcome!
Re: Your skin - My hormonal acne has been driving me nuts, too! This routine below (plus my body getting used the hormones - I think) - has helped my combination (but generally smooth) skin. Hopefully that pregnancy glow that everyone speaks of comes later and rids the acne??
My routine:

Mornings:
Twice a week I alternate with a charcoal mask and a natural scrub.
Wow. I think I'm a product whore. I'd say the main thing that my dermatologist really recommended was NOT to over wash your face, and to use Cetaphil because then it doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils.
You can probably jump over to /r/skincareaddiction with more questions! (Or your doctor.)
I always got cystic acne basically from age 13ish? I’m 29 now. About two years ago I discovered thayers witch hazel and let me tell you this stuff was life changing for me. This was before I knew I had pcos. I use the exfoliating cotton facial pads and use it on my face right out of the shower and in the morning and before bed. 99% clear skin now and if I get a rare pimple it’s gone so much quicker.
I only recently had a flare up of cystic acne when my
Gyno put me on birth control.
Sorry in advance for the length of my comment but speaking from personal experience, your acne could be caused by fungus/yeast, not bacteria. It's called Malassezia Yeast and we all have it on our skin, but it can cause issues when it becomes overgrown. This overgrowth is called Pityrosporum folliculitis and looks almost identical to other forms of acne.
Other evidence that points towards fungus is the fact that you're breaking out on other parts of your body. The fungus spreads easily, especially if you give it a nice environment to thrive, like sweaty workouts!
I had perfect skin until I was about 22, and suddenly developed acne on my face, chest, and back. It was so bizarre and none of the traditional acne treatments were helping because, as I later figured out, most products are geared towards bacterial breakouts, including benzoyl peroxide. In fact, overuse of these products can cause fungus/yeast to take over the balance and cause all sorts of issues!
So, after months of research I came to the conclusion that I did indeed have fungal acne, so I started a routine to combat it. I was desperate at first, so I bought an anti-dandruff shampoo (because dandruff is commonly caused by fungus). [This one is great because its SLS free!]
(https://www.amazon.com/Regenepure-Shampoo-Treatment-Supports-Growth/dp/B0032FSDOA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485317432&sr=8-1&keywords=dr.+regenepure) In the shower, I slathered it all all over my face and body, let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinsed it off. All of the breakouts started disappearing overnight, literally.
I felt strange using shampoo on my face so I decided to do more research and discovered that zinc is an amazing natural antifungal. So, I purchased this bar of soap, which contains 2% Pyrithione Zinc (an antimicrobial) and it was also very effective. I only use that about every three days now, and only on my body, because I have super sensitive skin and it is too drying for my face.
For my face, I now use Curology because they offer Zinc Pyrithione as an ingredient! My current formulation is .25% Zinc Pyrithione, 1% Clindamycin, and 4% Niacinamide and it is AMAZING. I'm now free of any and all breakouts.
I also use this mineral sunscreen because it uses zinc oxide - another form of zinc that is an antifungal!
For me, I have to maintain a routine or else the overgrowth returns, so I also take zinc picolinate supplements.
So, yeah, I hope this helps give some insight on your skincare journey!!
*EDIT!
I also want to point out the necessity of being super gentle on your skin, in general. I always think "kill it with kindness" when it comes to skin issues. You definitely don't want to make things worse by over-exfoliating (chemical and physical), using harsh cleansers that strip your natural oils, and above all you must keep your moisture barrier in tip top shape because it will protect you from excess fungus and bacteria!
I decided to give you my whole routine as an example, so here it is! I focus on moisture.
