How can I reduce adult acne?

Lately, I've been getting a lot of breakouts—or should I call them acne?—and I feel better if I just squeeze them out as soon as I see them, which has left me with so many marks. I don't really have any stress, but there seems to be a cycle where they flare up really badly. What could be the reason for this? If anyone has experienced this, please share some tips.
