Hi there...
I'm guessing you are fed up with this recurring acne and want a clear face.
My suggestion is to go for some oral (systemic) therapy with simple Vit A derivative. Yes there are some basic side effects like dryness of 👄, 👃 etc that can be easily tackled with application of vaseline and good hydration 💦
A little more information about your menstrual cycle, any Pcos & chances of conception needs to be ascertained and once all this is done, can prescribe the medication and it will take anywhere between 3-6 months for a near total clearance.

Do you have flaky dandruff over scalp? This might trigger acne over forehead, also using any product for hair like oil/hair gel?

Your description is most consistent with mild inflammatory acne vulgaris limited to the forehead, with recurrence after stopping an effective agent rather than treatment failure

• Likely recurrent comedonal + inflammatory acne on forehead (T-zone oil related)
• Flare-ups after stopping treatment suggest maintenance not continued
• Humidity, sweat, hair products or dandruff may be triggering forehead acne
Next steps
• Continue oil-free moisturizer (Excela is fine)
• Add anti-dandruff shampoo (ketoconazole) if dandruff present (2–3x/week)
• Avoid heavy hair oils/creams touching forehead
• Give treatment 6–8 weeks consistently
Helpful tips / Words of caution
• Avoid over-washing or harsh scrubbing
• Keep hair off forehead, clean pillowcases regularly
• Use non-comedogenic sunscreen daily
Kindly consult with me via Practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
