I agree stress has alot to do with zits. I have had mild to moderate acne for about 5 years now. I wash daily with neutrogena oil-free acne wash,and that helps.Also,very important to exfoiliate at least once a day with a scrub (once again I use neutrogena blackhead scrub with micro beads) the most important thing is not to pick,hands are oily,and make pimples worse...although I usually cant resist squeezing one if it clearly has a head on it. You may also want to try those sheets that remove excess oil from your face (by clean and clear i think) vitamins defintiely help. and unforunately,acne is alot of times hormonal. I dont know if your female,but switching birth control may be an answer.
